Actually, one of my first thoughts on election night (after all the “oh shit is this really happening?”) was that we needed to “Anne Frank” our spare room to prepare for this exact situation.

My wife are very clean when staying at hotels. We don’t eat in the room or make a mess. We typically decline turndown service and housekeeping out of security measure (we usually travel with money and valuable electronics) and just don’t find it necessary. We throw all the towels and bathmats into the tub after…

That’s nothing. Lots of news organizations have been repeatedly making up stories over the past 8 months about Trump becoming “Presidential”, and millions of people fall for it every time.

No, but I think Pence getting some coverage enraged him enough to come back.

I know- I’m exhausted. There are SO many awful things happening that I get completely overwhelmed and feel even more helpless. But I can’t ignore it, either because pretty much every awful thing directly affects my students.

Well, not really what you’re asking for but I love calling whites, European Americans. The look they give you is priceless.

The best thing you can do at times like these is take care of yourself, so you can continue keeping up the good fight. Work so you can afford to give money, have dinner with friends so you can talk about your feelings, sleep in on Saturdays so you’ll be well-rested to keep on being an advocate.

Some days I’m just not sure how to continue living life while all this is going on. It feels irresponsible to go to work, have dinner with friends, sleep in on Saturdays. Is this what it was like to live in Germany in the 30s? I give money and I give time, but I feel like an asshole for keeping up any semblance of…

The Geneva conventions should be modified to provide protections to deportees as well. ICE needs to be dismantled as a hate group in and of itself. Human beings should not be treated like this. What could ever be a reason to deny a human being rights to food, water and a restroom? The US has officially become the…

I just can’t wait to get this back out of bank machines ...

New Gawker commenters don’t appreciate subtlety and humor like Old Gawker commenters.

I agree that it’s embarrassing how we pay white men.

Counterpoint: I’d take anyone I’ve ever had a beer with over the current president.

Because I’m petty, it’s Friday, and I’m tired of deal with dumb white people, I just have to point out that elsewhere in the Kinjaverse, a bunch of people are mad because she didn’t say “some”, “few,” or “many” when talking about white people. Therefore, she is racist also and is dismissing the very important work…

Greg Abbott is enough to make me reconsider whether it’s really so great a sin to joke about people with disabilities.

Oh, you say that now, but four or five beers in and you’ll be talking about polling numbers and focus groups.

Have a beer with me.

I lived in DFW for 4 years and I have never felt so out of my place in my entire life. People are nice to you until they find out that you weren’t born in Texas, which automatically puts them above you. Their state pride is on the same level as white supremacists.

Genius. How is coercing someone to leave their house under the auspices of investigating them even remotely the same thing as getting water from an empty Kroger’s?
