During those extremely leading interviews with the children, I’ve often thought to myself, “choose the next few words out of your mouth with the utmost care, because they’ll define your living space for the next decade.” Make the smallest offhand comment about what song’s playing on your headphones and the next thing…

While he was shitty, she didn’t get knocked up then left at the altar. He ditched her after vows, then she got pregnant when they hooked up later. She was in bed raising her hips because she wanted a baby after the condom broke.

Honestly, your “goofy white ass” probably shouldn’t be the person explaining when it’s okay for white people to use it. Because the answer is still never, not even when “some brothers” (lol really?) invite you to do so. 

...weird dude from Silicon Valley...

“I’m not racist but...” 

I’ve certainly noticed an uptick in “SORRY IF IT’S NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT BUT-” as though being rude about being rude makes everything better.

And the thing that needs to be harped on whenever a SCOTUS article comes up - Trump, in three years, has been able to appoint two SCOTUS justices.

Yeah that’s the crazy part about all of this... if the SCOTUS rules against her, it essentially allows cis women to be fired for being “insufficiently feminine”, i.e. butch. So the radfems who claim to be so critical of gender and constantly whine that trans people are “reifying gender” would effectively be…

I call shenanigans. No one has ever read more than the first fifty pages of Ulysses. No one. It is only as dangerous as any other hard heavy object that can still be thrown

I mean, technically he killed six men and three women, unless you want to be shitty about his brother’s gender identity.

Secondly, what the fuck is an intimacy teacher

These vintage tortoiseshell sunglasses, which I passed up due to being broke that day. I want to invent a time machine just so I can go back and give myself a $50 bill and wear them for the rest of my life.

I think the Spelling Bee is stupid as hell (especially now that I know that it’s basically a racket), but I will say that I immediately judge and caste down people who write things like “defanate” or mistake “effect” and “affect”, etc. This automatically makes you a peon and NOT WORTHY OF MY CONTINUED CORRESPONDENCE.

The Guardian article says he did this with . . . Donald Trump.

all of which procreated with non-spouse partners

Good. And more of that. Because men need to be destabilized and confused and unsure and constantly afraid that any tiny thing they do with even the best of intentions will result in a shockingly intense series of consequences.

I know. It has more “unattributed quotes” than a “Zagat” “review”.
