This is definitely not going to have any negative effect on the wife who already feels like a failure for having health issues. Ughhh.

You are punishing the unwanted baby by dragging it into the world for a life of struggle. It’s very cruel. And if that unwanted child hits the jackpot after abandonment, he only ends up with some anti-choice fuckstick who harbors contempt for the weak while pretending to be holy and infallible because of unexamined…

My entire point is that your religiosity hasn’t taught you anything. I don’t go to church at all, but I care for the struggling and fight for them each day. I don’t need Jesus to tell me that’s important, but I am inspired by his example. Your practice has somehow taught you to have contempt for the suffering. All…

Sweet Mary, she started to get looser and looser with it until I was like, “Wait, that’s not how it works...wait, no obviously you can’t vote in our elections...wait why are saying that...wait what...”

No, actual satisfaction/enthusiasm with her performance. It’s all available to you if you care to look at the data.

So you’re able to see all the suffering children, but you’re not gonna help because your family comes first and those kids were damaged by being unwanted? But you still call for all women to have these unwanted children, and don’t see the logical collapse that leaves all those kids abandoned because it’s too hard for…

Why do you use emotional, inaccurate, nonscientific language to make your argument? You shouldn’t have to distort science if your position bears up under scrutiny.

Truly amazing. I couldn’t believe the proprietary arrogance from a place of safety and I literally asked her to consider the impact of hammering our only hope on a daily basis. Things matter.

I’m in bliss. I live for Morning on Spicey.

It’s true she’s never been a popular candidate, but she’s popular when she’s in office because she does a really good job—her positive ratings never count beyond her current office, though, and she is forever screwed by decades-old mistakes while her opponents can take a shit on the stage with no issue.

For me, it was when I saw how many progressives were demonizing her and deifying Bernie from the instant she announced. I felt they (respected progressive commenters on Gawker, for instance) were being self-indulgent and irresponsible, given the stakes, with their persistent vilification. I also thought it was a…

I resemble this remark.

You can see the obvious decline from then until now. And yeah, he was always a complete narcissist, but there was some basic connection to reality. He could hold a thought, and he could understand that being anti-choice just can’t work.

And we certainly don’t say, “Well, seatbelts aren’t 100% effective, so you can either stop driving or learn to embrace car crashes—totally up to you.”

It takes years to repair the damage a moron can do in a minute, true. What a fucking Sisyphean shitstorm.

I cannot even fully imagine the amount of work the incoming Democratic president will have, just to clean up this multi-level mess. It’s not just major shit like repairing diplomatic relations across the globe; it’s also this whole menu of spiteful minutiae needing to be corrected and cleansed like a bad spirit. …

Of course not. Hardly any rapes get tried at all, and in imperfect victim destroys your chances in court. It was done before it started.

Whenever I’m below 60% I’m all, “But if I’m kidnapped and held without access to an electrical outlet for 48 hours, or Orange starts nuclear war, I won’t be able to call for help.”

Yeah, the “It wasn’t me” thing has lost all power. It is you once you rep it. Yes, you may need to actually be thoughtful about what you support instead of just saying yes to anybody who offers you money. Mind-blowing, I know.

Do guard it that way. Walking is great—both for the system and because it gives you time in silence with yourself. I just got back from teaching a workshop on self-care massage techniques, and the Cliff’s Notes version is just to use your hands on your own bad self—massage your feet while you’re watching t.v. or…
