Boyfriend was wondering what website you knew her from. He met her on the internet too, as I’m sure you know. And thank you - I can’t be her, but I try to treat him the way she would want, and I do what I can to keep her memory alive.

Oh my God! What a small world! I never got the pleasure of meeting her, obviously, but Boyfriend tells me about her all the time, and I'm in constant awe of the battle she fought, for herself and others. I hope we get to meet someday, Boyfriend has amazing friends.
Gilda Radner actually did have a hysterectomy, chemo, and radiation treatments during the course of her illness. But your general point stands.
Oh, I guess the one year olds made a decision to be born to parents who came here - whether illegally or not - and deserve to be kept in cages like actual animals.
I stand corrected. I think what I was really thinking was, “This is who we are *proudly* now.” But yes, you’re correct - there were always strains of this in the country.
Seeing as we are already putting children and families in cages and threatening to strip the citizenship of recently naturalized people who happen to be brown? We’re already on our way there. The Holocaust didn’t happen overnight, bro. It happened because it was a slow descent into normalizing this kind of…
My boyfriend is a widower whose wife died of lung cancer at age 36. She had a genetic mutation that caused it, and it wasn’t discovered until it was already stage IV. Despite aggressive treatment, she passed away a few years ago, but not before doing everything she could to raise money for LUNGevity (an organization…
I’m just going to say it again: State. Sanctioned. Kidnapping.
Must be nice to have such privilege that you don’t have to worry about things like this. Might I remind you that this is exactly how the Nazis got away with that bullshit? “Oh, don’t panic, it’s never going to get that bad.” Then six million of my people were slaughtered.
Are you an asshole?
Anyone else feel like this is the start of eugenics a la Nazi Germany? “We don’t need the sick people but we can’t just outright murder them. So let’s just cut off their medical care. Only the gays and druggies get AIDS, amirite?” /s
Thankfully I’m not taking it til February, so hopefully by then the Democrats will control SOMETHING and I’ll have a little more hope. But I feel exactly what you said - useless AND necessary. It’s exhausting.
Fun research on a Tuesday morning:
I think part of the problem is that we all feel guilty if we don’t pay attention, because we feel like not paying attention to everything all the time means we don’t care. The issue with that is, as you said, it can manifest in extreme stress and physical pain. I think we all need to start being okay with self-care,…
I give up. I just give up. I am so exhausted and emotionally drained from the last two years. I am supposed to be studying for the bar exam, and I look at what’s happening in this country and go, “Why bother?” I used to want to fight, but at this point, I’m so depleted that it’s hard to care.
How very Christian of them.
This is fucking state sanctioned kidnapping. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children needs to get on top of this shit. I realize they get federal funding, and probably don’t want to rock the boat on that front, but this has got to stop somewhere. I don’t even have kids, but when I try to even imagine…
Hm. What other political power system has stripped citizens of their citizenship? Hmmm... trying to think... sounds familiar...
I’ve been disgusted by most of what this piece of garbage excuse for a human being has said and done over the last few years (oh god, years). But last night, when I saw this, I cried out of sheer anger and horror. This fucking guy. This fucking piece of shit who grabs women by the genitals and laughs about it. I’m not…
