Agreed in the broad application on a national scale. This particular article is focused on Brooklyn, but I see this same co-opting the left happening locally in the PNW too. Google Deep Green Resistance for the transphobic libertarian environmentalist variety. We’re already fighting the creep.

One of the more deeply annoying things is the syrange idea that because they say un PC shit they’re somehow more authentically blue collar- which, I mean sorry you’re trust fund liberals from Brooklyn engaged in offense caricatures of what you believe the working class is- it’s no different than suburban kids using…

I think this is the most correct take - these people aren’t actually liberals, they’re wealthy enough white people that inequality doesn’t harm them (and in fact they usually benefit from it) and they’re closer to being libertarian than ‘leftist’ with some exceptions around healthcare and student loans (because those…

Yeah, I haven’t necessarily waded into it online, but have noticed two leftist friends from grad school who despite learning all about different determinants of health and how things like racism and sexism can really mess up people’s wellbeing in research proven ways, still lean on the “class is the only determining…

I fucking hate the dirtbag left. I’m an anarchist, and I have a shitload of respect for almost all of my leftist peers, from auth-coms to syndicalists. But tankies, nazbols, and the dirt bag left can all fuck right off.

I would deeply love to not care about this, but Red Scare and Chapo House are *huge* on Twitter if you even slightly try to engage in leftist discourse. It is... startling, to say the least, to get called a centrist neoliberal white feminist shrill by people who espouse the viewpoint that white supremacy isn’t really…

Awww!

This is unreasonably romantic.

Its beyond cliche, but the first time I saw my wife in a bikini, prior to our relationship, I saw her and then had to take a minute to recompose myself, internal fireworks aplenty.

And then early on in our dating, she took me to her hometown for some event and they did fireworks and a few of them exploded super early,…

The night I met my husband. We met through a mutual friend, a group of us hanging out at some gay bar, and I said to him, “I’m not ready to go home. Do you want to get a drink somewhere else?”

Fats and oils are the conduits through which flavor travels.

The only hard part is reminding my sleepy ass that, if I get through the five minutes of misery that will be involved in pulling myself out of bed at dawn, it will be a truly beautiful thing to be awake and drinking coffee.

I didn’t know the dad from Calvin and Hobbes had a Kinja account!

I have a 2 year old and a 3 month old and I love getting up with the 3 month old on weekends when he wakes around 7-730. Some quality daddy and baby time then he goes back to sleep 45 minutes later and I make coffee and sit on the deck and chill in the fresh morning air until the 2 year old wakes up (sometime after 9)…

I like waking up to the smell of bacon, sue me. And since I don’t have a butler, I have to do it myself. So, most nights before I go to bed, I will lay six strips of bacon out on my George Foreman Grill. Then I go to sleep. When I wake up, I plug in the grill, I go back to sleep again. Then I wake up to the smell of…

Best time to wake up: Just as the first light is starting to break over the horizon but the sun is still hidden.

I work with all these Girlboss rally people. I take care of their children. On Sunday this girlboss mom who wears “We should all be feminists” t shirts, prides herself on being a “boss babe mom” and reads all the empowering books, told me she needs me to clean the house, take care of two children, make dinner and be a…

Sleeping in is overrated, mainly because I have never been able to do it. The best time to wake up is the sweet spot between whenever you wake up and the kids (or whoever) gets up. I can get 2-3 hours of pure bliss by being awake when everyone is sleep....usually I spend it goofing around on the internet, but it’s…

Revenge porn is a prosecutable offense but Kanye’s Famous video isn’t revenge porn. All of the bodies in that video are synthetic (I believe they were wax?) approximations of the people they were meant to represent.

SingedVinegar2's story is so good, it should be narrated by David Tennant or Billy Connelly.
