And nobody suspected that a graduate student had a lot of cash to throw around. Nobody suspected a Russian graduate student was cozying up to Republican operatives. Nobody suspected a Russian graduate student getting access to power brokers at the NRA.

I am sure this will get flack - but - 

I disagree. There’s an implied wink and nudge that goes along with “a gentleman never tells.”

When I was a kid, the local drugstore had a counter of costume jewelry, including a ring with huge triangular cubic zirconias, and I wanted it so badly that I asked for it for Christmas. Upon receiving it, I put it on and went to school and told everyone I had gotten engaged to John Taylor, the bassist for Duran Duran.…

That “pockets” response feels me on a fundamental level. Also hair- how do you touch your own hair wearing a thing like that? I touch my hair about 47 times per second, my hand would be caught like a raccoon’s in a trap.

We think it’s ugly. 

Starred for fleshsceptre. 

I would very much enjoy the money and the ability to ride Prince Hot Ginge’s royal fleshscepter whenever I wanted, but everything else about being a royal sounds like a lesser level of hell to me. She held her husband’s elbow at an event? She crossed her legs at the knee? She expressed an opinion?!?! CRUCIFY THE HUSSY.

As an *actual* cancer survivor, I am disgusted by this woman. She preyed on the desperate, the sick, and the dying. Because of her, people likely forewent actual evidence-based medicine in favor of her dietary “cure.”

TERFs are freaking scary towards trans women. It’s horrifying how nasty they are. And they go from zero to sixty in about five seconds.

trans-exclusionary radical feminists who do not believe that the rights of trans people should be included in discussions of women’s rights

I know of a few parents who would feel more chagrinned than amused to find they caused their child needless pain. 

The other day someone asked me what advice i would give their 25 year old daughter who had just been devastated by her boyfriends actions. I told them that she needs to recognize the red flag now. If he is acting this way only a few weeks into a relationship - its likely that this is who he is not “oh he is under…

I feel for her, in a way, though David Cross is a serious POS and I cannot imagine what she is getting from that marriage. But it’s strange how many men have a seemingly willful blind spot in this area.My bestie is a dude, and when I was talking to him about Roe v. Wade last week he was like “I don’t think there’s…

I get the exhaustion though. I do. Whenever I feel something, it’s not enough for me to say it. I have to convince my parents and (later) my husband that it’s true. All of them, by the way, have labeled me melodramatic. It’s never the case they’re blowing me off when I say how I feel in the first place.

While I do think it’s right to expect an activist like Tamblyn to be talking to her husband when he fucks up, I also don’t think we should expect her to be able to perform the miracle of being able to transform her oaf into someone properly woke or to air their marital disputes on these issues in public.

Yup.  Gotta have that “woman-with-a-toddler” shield.

My sister said it was “really bad” but that “the guy who plays Laurie is really hot,” so, there’s that.

“I think that you can’t win the White House without the Midwest and I don’t think you can go too far to the left and still win the Midwest,” Duckworth told Jake Tapper.

But he is so used to Alta Vista!
