I was a kid in the 70s and 80s in liberal California, and we called all our parents’ friends by their first names (though some of them got to be honorary uncles, like Uncle Jer-Dog, which I’m only now realizing is hilarious), and we called all our public school teachers Mr/Mrs Lastname. I have very few friends with…

Mark, I’m at my desk crying. Thank you for writing this. The photos of you and Allen are beautiful. I’m so happy for you two, and so thankful that you’ve given us the chance to see a little bit of your life together and to see how good and silly and brave and wonderful love can make people. Congratulations and best…

Right? People are weirded out by cat guys for some reason. I don’t get it either. Cats are great, often low-maintenance pets, and anyone who likes them is okay by me.

If you haven’t gotten enough answers already, I like this set of tweets from Ijeoma Oluo on Rachel Dolezal and Race (even though she spelled her name wrong):
