Oh my gosh it was so awesome! It’s just so encouraging to see so many young people energized and inspired. And Jane was so incredibly kind.

Indeed! 😁

Not sure why it's so hard to believe that broke people wouldn't get into further debt simply for a wedding, sorry to disappoint but it's true! We're both older (34 when we married) so we knew that spending 10k+ (that we didn't have to begin with) was dumb as hell. 

Hahaha I took today off because I knew I'd be exhausted after the Sanders rally lastnight and I happen to be watching the finale right now. What a mess. 

Was just talking about this with my husband lastnight. At this point it’s just sad.

The most important piece of advice that I can give you is to NOT listen to the pundits, who have shown over the last few years that they really have no way of knowing the future and they know less about voting patterns than they thought. In Nevada, Bernie pulled roughly the same amount of voters who consider…

Yeah I voted for Bernie in the primary in ‘16 but you bet your ass that I showed up in November to vote for Hillary. I will say that I don’t see much of a difference between Bloomberg and Trump at all, though. Bloomberg just seems like everything Trump wishes he was, which terrifies me. 

So I’ve heard! I’m not sure what your relationship is with your parents, but if there’s any way to get away with doing a small one (and it won’t end up causing huge rifts for the rest of your life) I highly recommend it. Even if I were filthy rich, I would still have a tiny wedding. Now, I’d have it at one of the most…

Oh my god that’s my favorite pie in the world I want to try a cake version!!!

Whew lawd, yeah I’ve seen the comparisons which is odd because the only similarities are they’re all old men and they all have a huge base of support. I hardly think that wanting to decrease our country’s interference in foreign affairs & give everyone healthcare is akin to the blatantly racist tone of Trump’s…

Nothing interesting really, we just were also buying a home, furnishing everything from scratch (my daughter and I lived with my parents, and he lived with his brother so we didn’t really have anything) AND I had just been laid off. So we told our close family to meet us at this abandoned gas station near the town…

Hell I would go to a bridal fair TODAY if I could. I love looking at wedding dresses and venues and cakes and all that! I just didn’t want to spend any money and we were BROKE, hence why I went the route I did. I figured I can look at everything I want without spending a dime. One of my favorite things to do is peruse…

Well...I got married in the parking lot of an abandoned gas station but I absolutely do acknowledge that’s not acceptable or desired by 99% of folks, hahaha. No regrets here though. Free and we were done with the whole thing within 10 minutes. 

Honey, are you okay? I don’t understand the compulsion to hang out at a blog where you hate everybody. Is a wellness check in order? Got any guns? Please reach out if you need help.

I just cannot deal with the fact that someone decided to name their child Chasten. I don’t even think I could bring myself to date a Chasten. It’s too much.

I can’t even imagine being the daughter of that Wisconsin dipshit. 

This was a MESS. Lord.

Aw thanks at first when I saw my notifications all I could see was "thanks for sharing that" and I was like oh shit somebody is pissing on my parade lol. So thank YOU! 

Sometimes I wish we had a thread like deadspin used to have, the up all night ones that were open threads? But we don’t and I guess it’s tangentially related because it’s concerning politics but I’m volunteering at a Sanders rally in Nashville tomorrow and I’m freaking excited!! He’s not going to be there, it will be…

I honestly don’t know how any members of this family go out in public without being spit on constantly but I guess everybody’s got much better manners than I do.
