Reconsidering my life because I still like doing both those things...

FWIW, Linda Kay Klein’s “Pure” is a great book in a similar vein focused on the experiences of adolescent women in Evangelical communities.

And Rush has lost his 70 year battle with social progress.

I’m glad to hear lung cancer has won its battle with Rush Limbaugh.

A PUBLIC UTILITY that you have to PAY FOR is a “hand out” now... 🤔

This brought up feelings about my ex. Thankfully they were never abusive but they took any sort of admission of guilt on my part as validation that they’re a good person and I’m a bad one rather than see it as someone wishing they had done things better.

The thing about apologies from past abusers is that they are usually for the abuser. The abuser went to therapy and realized they did something wrong, the abuser feels bad and reaches out to the person they victimized. What in that scenario is about the victim? What if the victim doesn’t desire an apology and contact…

I’m mixed, 1st generation Korean-American/ White, and I do not associate with my White (Trumplican) family outside of Thanksgiving and Christmas, and you better believe I bring it after dinner is over. My racist white uncle doesn’t mean that much to me to validate his White Male Privilege. My racist, white female…

Nobody knows who the fuck you are, Shannon.

Wait. Wait. Wait.

overall this feels cringe.

I think it’s definitely a little goofy, but as soon as his former classmates started saying this meant David Hogg was now a Capitalist™ supporting “mass exploitation, genocide, child labor, slavery” they rocketed past goofy into patently ridiculous and unserious. Let the guy make his trolling, somewhat ill-advised…

I don’t know, I think there’s a lot of space between David Hogg Should Be Homeless Because Capitalism and Hmm Is It A Little Goofy That David Hogg Is Using His Massive Following Derived From His Position As The De Facto Spokesman Of A Senseless Tragedy To Build A Profitable Pillow Company That Relies On Tired…

Oh my god I am shaking my head on this one. I think David Hogg pretty much sums it up here:

Trying to apply what you feel was a good experience for you to other people is like saying “well, my parents got divorced when I was young, and I turned out OK, so it must not be a traumatic experience”.

This has probably been said to death, but the mention of the hot dog cart just made me imagine Trump as an Ignatius J Reilly who happened to be born into wealth.

Wait, is this the REAL Avril Lavigne, or the fake one that took her place when she supposedly died in a car crash or something?  ... I can’t keep track.

It’s way past my bedtime, so I read “wombok slaw” as wombat slaw. I was like Ok well, Australia. I’m tired :)

I posted around Thanksgiving about struggling with a divorce from an emotional abuser while in law school, and just about two months later, I’m two weeks (!!) away from the divorce finalizing and have locked down a dream summer job with a V10 firm (really good firm!) in my dream/home city (San Francisco!). I haven’t…

A movie about a woman setting herself up as prey for rapists sees her as not hot enough to get raped?! :0
