And call me hippie, call me a free-thinker, call me someone that’s looking for a better life...

:) Someone else told me they thought it meant “anal-lover”! It’s really a litmus test; tells me more about you than it tells you about me!

Feminists are so used to confrontation and misogyny that we can be too quick to interpret words as confrontational or misogynistic when they’re merely ambiguous. We are very quick to eat our own. Maybe because I have a vaguely male account name, I get called an MRA troll pretty regularly here, and I assure you that I…

Do you have a link for that article?

I knew a girl who was kicked out of University for epilepsy. They said it was an insurance liability to allow her onto campus, even though they accommodated other students with medical disabilities. It was bullshit.

Fashion is bullshit.

Exhibit A:

I suggested it as a joke when the hosting gig was still up in the air because Obama seems to enjoy these types of appearances so much, but ever since I’ve been thinking about how fucking awesome it would be. Obama can’t speak freely as President, but he is capable of scathing commentary on account of being wicked…

I wish he could take over The Daily Show when Jon leaves. He was so great hosting the Colbert Report. I think he missed his calling as a comedian.

Thank you. Yesterday morning I texted her that it was silly of us not to be speaking and that I loved her, and she called back last night to ask if I could help her son with his history project :)

Ya I should have checked.

I’m sorry that you like shitty things, but both Walmart and Sea World are terrible for America.

You think Wamart does more good than harm? That’s ridiculous. Don’t get butthurt just because you like things that are patently terrible, like Sea World and Walmart.

I’m in a fight right now with my sister about her backward views. I just could not take it any more. I couldn’t sit through another meal where she spewed judgmental bullshit and I held my tongue. So I interrupted her and said “Nope. No no no. I love you, but that’s racist as hell and I don’t want you passing that…

I was talking about the mentally challenged to someone who thought that talking about the rights of trans people comes at the expense of the rights of the mentally challenged.

They’re not discreet issues though! A group making progress toward their civil rights does not take rights away from another group; it strengthens society’s commitment to human rights period. Rights are not a limited good to be competed for!

Their issues just seem so irrelevant. How dare you empathize with the mentally challenged when there are people starving to death in Africa. What are you; a monster? Until all injustices are solved, we can’t solve or even talk about any particular one of them. The mentally challenged are a waste of our time. Maybe if…

How did activists manage to convince the world that trans issues are a priority? We are wasting our damn time.

the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles agreed to change its policy to allow people seeking drivers’ licenses to be photographed as they regularly present themselves, even if their appearance does not match the officials’ expectations of how the applicant should look.

It looks horrendous. I want to say to her, “honey; you only get the one mug, and it’s never going to look as good in it’s natural state as it does now.” It seems a waste to make herself a cartoon when I’m sure she’s an attractive girl under all that.
