Why didn’t he wear a blue sparkly belt instead?! I watched them compete last night and got all mad about this costume again. Her dress is one of my favorites, and his just looks like such an afterthought!

His was so bad and hers was so good!

Right, so the reason behind this is that the US has a visa waiver with most countries (which Europe is helpfully thinking of rescinding because our current Cheetolini keeps fucking up our own visa waivers for their citizens) and that stamp or ticket you get when entering most of those countries is for — wait for it — n…

I have such mixed feelings about Pete Souza’ work. On the one hand, these are beautiful, iconic images. On the other the hand, it’s impossibly painful to see them at this exact time. I’m trying to look on the good side, but it’s just painful.

“Since Nov. 7, 2016, the rush to blame the rural poor for Trump (despite the hard numbers revealing that his real base is comfortably middle-class whites living in suburbia) has created a thirsty market for this kind of drivel.”

I would add that there is absolutely no attempt to grapple with the actual, functional policies that are messing these people’s lives up. You would think that given how celebrated articles like Ta-Nehisi Coates’ article on redlining or reparations was, you might see attempts to imitate it rather than simply dutifully…

I don’t normally engage people ecpressing anti-immigrant sentiment/xeniphobia, but I majored in Economics and am the daughter of two formerly undocumented persons. I walked across the stage at my graduation from UC Berkeley while my dad sat in an ICE detetion center over 600 miles from my parents’ home. Only 2 people…

So like ... can I have maternity leave? Affordable prenatal care? Any treatment for my battered lady-bits after birth? Help with childcare? (My parents live very, very far away and I really like what I do for a living.) Will my daughters be able to get jobs where they won’t be harassed by their employers, or is their…

There is . . . a lot . . . wrong with this comment.

I hate to break it to you, but women get catcalled regardless of their attire. I’ve been catcalled while wearing a formless sweatsuit that made me look like Grimace. Men catcall because it’s a gross power move, not because the woman is dressed immodestly.

We just need John Oliver to host future Presidential debates.

“I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing,” Grassley told the Register, “as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies.”

Joe Scarborough. That Guy in every women’s studies class who has to interrupt and say some version of, “If more women used birth control, the abortion rate would go down!” over and over again.

Lord knows that when I look back on all the women I’ve loved, I primarily think about the men they worked for.

I feel really bad for so many of my girlfriends, who feel that selling things from their home is the only way they can contribute financially to the household while raising children. As someone who spends more than $24K a year in daycare costs for two children (at the second cheapest option in the area, so not…

Makes sense. when I’m depressed and crying in front of the mirror the thing I want most is to be erased from existence.

I made sure he knew The New Republic had a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment of any kind.

Calling this movie feminist seems like a pretty bold take, to me. Other than baby replicant, who is comically physically fragile, the female characters are either pretty, skinny, and naked, or over 40 and aggressively desexualized. There isn’t a single woman who doesn’t function as a disposable commodity. I can buy…
