This is a point of order. Teenage boy? Was 18. Meanwhile people are over at major media outlets speaking of Epstein’s 14 and 15 year old girls as underage women.

Many white people I know who say they were not privileged, on examination, turn out to have had backgrounds about where mine was. Which is to say, privileged.

I read that article yesterday (exerpt? article?). I thought it was amazing. As a white person I cringed at some of the things the white people said. Sometimes because I couldn’t believe how clueless the men were. Other times because I saw echoes of myself. I need to cringe when I read at least once a day otherwise I’m…

If the F word is locker room talk it doesn’t count.

Par for the course for tRump. He is a racist. He’s controlling the narrative (again) in a way that energizes his racist base. I’m trying to figure out what exactly he doesn’t want us to notice now. Like always, he’s trying to bury something. And getting to be racist? Well, that’s just icing on his personal shitcake.

Why I said “at least on paper”.

It was important enough for you to say it so I wanted to acknowledge what you said. If it felt like offensive sympathy, it wasn’t my intent. I did get your point. It doesn’t change my conviction that I won’t judge him for when he came out.

You’re right, her brother did come out in his late twenties after he had some things sewn up: college/grad school paid for and working/living in a very gay friendly place.

I’ll give you Hyde Park.

Have you spent time in Indiana as a a non straight person? I ask, thinking of the ex girlfriend I had who came out as lesbian to her Hoosier parents in the 1990s and they cut off paying for college and tried to get her to go to a deprogramming place. She finished paying off the loans a few years ago. Her older brother…

So there was two years of overlap. I see what you say, it looks like he could have come out without career repercussions in 2011, at least on paper.

Is his nose running? Is that dried snot under his nose? Because, if so, can we get a drug test please?

He lost me at Mary Pete.

What an advanced nine year old he was. Also, he was in the military at a time when it would have affected his career, wasn’t he? I mean Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell was not actually a good thing for gays in the military and didn’t he overlap that? I may misremember.

What you said. 99% perfect. Except for dopey cornstalk.

A Christmas onesie is not for July? What are you? The Queen of England? I mean, you wear the clothes that are clean. Until you have worn all the clean clothes. Then you do laundry. Granted, you might not have to make it all the way to Christmas Onesie if you have a home with a washer and dryer, but I don’t know this…

Which feels wrong, because I’m pretty sure I’d be great at that job.

Personally I might lease out my self worth for half that. Because I’m cheap. This is such a one percent type problem. I have had jobs where I hate everyone I work with (not often) or they hate me (maybe more often?) but you put your head down, slog through it, cash the check and find a new gig. You don’t whine about…

Holy shit! You are right. This is a made up story.

But it’s a cool mill...
