With all of my heart, I hope Ford has a fantastic support system.

“Judge Kavanaugh is one of the finest people that I’ve ever known,”

The most baffling thing I find about the “good boy who made mistakes” take is that it can somehow exist alongside the “if she’s telling the truth, why didn’t she go to the police?” takes.

This is flat-out a wonderful thing. You’d never know it from the comments in The Daily Fail piece. It’s almost as if there’s something about Meghan that English people can’t get past. What could it be? Hmm...

Yeah. Fuck, I had hoped not to actually have to see an Anita Hill-type hearing in my lifetime, but looks like we’re going through this again. What a shitshow.

Sending all the good vibes in the world to Dr. Ford. No woman deserves what happened to her, or what she’s going through now.

I think it really depends on the family. I was raised with step-brothers who I would consider “brothers” because I grew up with them as my brothers. I also have a half-sister, who I didn’t grow up with at all. I sometimes clarify that she’s my half-sister because people will be confused as to why I have a sister whose…

I only have halfs and adopted (I’m the adoptee.) I call the siblings I grew up with brothers and sisters. I call the ones I didn’t grow up with halfs. M M didn't grow up with the crazy one, so.it makes sense to call her a half.

I seriously think Meghan’s family of origin has some personality disordered people (mainly her dad) and their enabling minions. Its not a normal level of dysfunction. Maybe some Borderline or Narcissism. Poor Meghan.

I got into a discussion about this case on FB today. Someone wanted to talk about how we raise our boys, and how need to teach them how to deal with their emotions.

A sample for those who never knew it’s awesomeness:

Yup. The Republicans will only care if the guy’s caught with a dead girl or a live boy.

Because if history’s taught us anything, it’s that the GOP takes sexual misconduct extremely seriously. 

I think about this all time. I’m regularly caught talking to myself in public (I work from home and have adopted this habit because it gets quiet, man) and doing other really asinine but seemingly bizarre/unflattering things. The other day someone caught me singing a little ditty about how my shirt was riding up as I…

Oh god, they’re related to Robert the Bruce.  I’m related to Robert the Bruce.  I’m part of this now.

I saw this at my nail salon a few weeks ago. The woman with beautiful braids was working when she was accosted by a white woman who grabbed her hair and said how much she loved it.  The manicurist quietly said “thank you.” I wanted to shout don’t touch her hair! I should have, and next time I will.

The need to touch a total stranger’s hair is lost on me.  Same with weirdos who want to rub a pregnant woman’s belly.

Omg that video was hard to watch. Personally I do not like being touched period. Hugging, shaking hands, rubbing my shoulder and my hair is the ultimate no no. Then this old hag hand the nerve to pick her up in the air. Somebody pray for me, I just slapped this lady in my mind.

White woman on my job wanted to touch my hair.
She said, “It looks so soft.”
I said, “Can I rub on your pregnant belly?”
“No.”
“See? Same thing.”
