And it really is the luck of the draw! People don’t like admitting it.

And yet those same fates happen just as often to people who are married and have children. I think it would be a lot worse to be sitting there alone in the nursing home knowing your immediate family doesn’t care about you.

Well, go ahead and be an asshole about it then.

Or she’d rather be able to talk about it openly without being made to feel that her feelings are wrong. There’s nothing worse than trying to be honest with someone and they dismiss your feelings because they don’t line up with what they think you should feel. I really think she’s looking for understanding and…

Your condescension is really cute, but let me help you. I’m a historian of women in performance and I have done extensive research on contracts in the contexts of women who perform with their bodies.

people need to learn to separate criticism of an entity from criticism of the individuals who make up that entity. Hating “Whiteness” as a structural inequity is way different from hating “You, White Person”. Same way I can say “organized religion is awful” and respect You, A Religious Person, exercising your shit.

Um. This was rape. Nothing any lawyer says can make that not true, it is clear cut. Secondly, of course it was racially motivated, because who the fuck knows what a “Ku Klux Klan” song is? Third, yes, he was targeted for being “vulnerable” and that vulnerability is intersectional: he is both black and disabled. Black…

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

YESSSSSSS.

Daniel Day Kim. Idk a human being alive who wouldn’t answer the phone for that man.

I liked this article a lot more than I enjoyed Love Actually.

I don’t think anyone is saying that they should be ‘automatically taken care of’. With housing and rental cost of everything in the bay, there are few ways (in my understanding) to have events like this without have a ton of money. Few activists and artists, especially in this scene, have that kind of money.

The pipeline has been rerouted- for white towns who didn’t want the risk to their water. The process was treated differently for the Sioux, where they treated the project like hundreds of little projects that didn’t need any environmental assessment. The only party acting in good faith during this whole thing has been…

Okay, let me say before I say anything else that I speak solely for my own half-Native self and nobody else. And this is just how I feel, personally.

Clover’s not going for outrage. Not every Jez article is about being outraged. It’s about the mistake the magazine made and especially the well-handled apology from the model. Seems more like Clover wanted to feature the model’s genuine apology as a good example. It’s supposed to be kind of a happy ending story. …

I am personally very open about my son’s autism because I’m proud of everything about him. If the rumours are true, I sincerely hope they are keeping their child’s condition confidential to protect him and not from any sense of shame.

As a mother of a child on the spectrum, can you please dismiss any comments mocking Trump for having an autistic child? I hate Trump with a fiery passion, but that shit is off limits.

He still has a tongue.

How about the ladies just stop fucking Republicans?
