This is so fucking sad. The fact she mailed in a check and they didnt know/receive it in time to cut her power, is the tragic icing on the cake. I wish it was more known that there are sometimes measures that can be done to prevent power from getting shut off if the person needs power for things such as oxygen tanks,…

I’m in the grays and in Germany, so nobody might read this, but maybe it’s good to just write everything down...

? I am extremely white, from an unbearably white family, from an embarrassingly white state. I hate white people because I know them intimately.

I plan to see the movie tomorrow. I grew up on Army bases and my bougie Black parents always talked white. When the family settled in Mississippi in 1966, two years before desegregation, it was culture shock for 16yo me. Besides suddenly moving from a culturally diverse environment to one where everything was black &…

Honestly he really needs to work on his social media presence.

Thank you very much for sharing that part of Frederick Douglass’s speech-of course, ALL of it is wonderful-and still so valid, sadly.

My fave grey comment is saying shit like “this isn’t what MLK died for.”

Sigh.

“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

You don’t think that’s ‘relevant’ to the issue of refugees/migrants in detention camps?

it’s like...now but kind of black mirror-ish? like there’s a huge evil corporation everyone knows about (it’s on the news on the tv, in the papers and there are billboards and other ads for it everywhere), and the most popular show on tv is watched by 150m people every night...it’s got that black mirror type of…

not @ing you for your hot take, just want to hear more— saw it about two hours ago and am here for your read of the film. 

The real answer is either:

It’s not a “hostile” takeover when one actually represents one’s constituents instead of ignoring them. Electoral politics is not corporate acquisition. #WordsMatter

When I went to the screening last night, at first I thought the moderator was you Danielle.

The existence of slavery in this country brands your republicanism as a sham, your humanity as a base pretence, and your Christianity as a lie ... Oh! be warned! be warned! a horrible reptile is coiled up in your nation’s bosom; the venomous creature is nursing at the tender breast of your youthful republic; for the…

Like, there are things that can be changed. But, I don’t see how things like “we should bomb the Middle East into glass” and “most rape accusations are probably false” are issues you are willing to overlook.

“Is it rude to ask the server to throw away my trash?”

There was a guy I knew in college that has become increasingly racist, xenophobic, and sexist and his anger issues seem to have gotten bigger as time has gone on. I still follow him on Facebook, because to me it is a look into the average Trump supporter.

His wife claims that he is a good guy because “he has been a…

We recently saw him in a little theater and a lot of what he was doing was test material. He talked at length-some jokes but a lot of just conversation- about Amber and how she has taught him a lot about what he thought was ok and “funny” and what is really ok. He said its been hard for her but she’s stayed strong and…

Because everyone comes with their own baggage, whether it be sexism or racism or a combination of both. Just the other day, Amber Tamblyn sent out a Twitter story, that questioned Maxine Waters’s decision to not endorse Ayanna Pressley for Boston City Council (because apparently women of color are supposed to support…
