Yeah. My daughter is disabled and on a state Medicaid waiver program, which charges a parental fee based on a sliding scale. I still pay about $6500/year for the parental fee, but it acts as a secondary insurance that picks up everything our primary insurance doesn’t. It is a lifesaver, and I rarely if ever post about…

Kara, you’ve been one of the best voices & most vocal advocates I’ve heard since the January march for the oft-ignored, “That’s great, guys, but go out & VOTE.” And you’re kinda one of my heroes.

Please never stop saying it.

To people of color:

As a history nerd, I like to reassure myself that what we’re experiencing now is a normal part of progress. There is always a sort of kickback before society changes meaningfully. The 50's were a kickback decade. There was a kickback during the industrial revolution. The Spanish Inquisition was partly in response to…

Why I am marching today (See you soon, NYC!):

I would definitely watch Gina and The Golden Girls reboot (still working on the title).

The white people who are saying this to you are idiots, but I can tell you from experience that racist white people do not listen to normal white people either. They don’t listen to anyone except for the blowhards in their echo chambers. I completely agree with Duvernay. There is no point in engaging with these…

I like this perspective. Now that trump has been elected, white people are ON ME to engage with racists and teach them a better, more loving way. As if I haven’t been trying this my whole life. White people, the responsibility to pick up your own house is YOURS.

As someone who needs to use those spaces,I’ll tell you what I see as the problem with this . There were many, many other places where he can sit without any problem available at the moment this photo was taken. It shows, firstly, that he thinks he is above the need to obey these little ‘niceties’. In what other,…

I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I’ll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do…

Visit North Dakota. Stand with the water protectors. Donate to the ACLU or any other legal organization that can stand up for disenfranchised people and launch lawsuits on their behalf. Donate to Democracy Now! and other independent news agencies... and, most of all, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR LOCAL POLITICS. You might not…

Fine they can put in legislation that basically bans abortions and defund PP.

Most Deadspin readers probably don’t know this, but Tom Scocca used to do a regular write up of newspaper comics with occasional Deadspin contributer Joe MacLeod for the Baltimore City Paper. It was awesome, but it doesn’t appear to be archived anywhere.

Sorry, I can’t be happy about this.

No need to apologize for speaking your mind. My heart goes out to you and your husband.
