Certainly I wouldn’t expect a woman under ~45 to be elected, however. Among the youngest AND a woman? Seems impossible.

WTF? No.

Let’s hope we get a leftist Tea Party out of this.

I think I realized something about myself today, which is that I tend to skip over anger and move directly to bargaining. My reaction to this, after the immediate shock/ denial, was “Well, maybe there’s a silver lining! Maybe people will learn something from all this and in four years, a female version of Obama will…

This is the suggestion I generally want to make to people who desire no government, or very little. I think they don’t realize there are many places in the world like what they claim to want, and most of those places are not nice.

I’ve never worked at a TJ’s, but last year I worked retail at two different big chain places. (Before that, my only retail experience was a very short stint in a quiet, independent jewellery store, so I was basically coming into the corporate retail culture thing with fresh eyes.) The first place was VERY well managed…

I wrote a letter to a girls’ feminist magazine about how I believed “racism” (you’ll see why I’m using the quotes in a sec) was just as bad no matter if it was white people doing it or other races doing to against whites. Then I’m fairly sure, unless my memory deceives me, that they actually published it (!) and not,…

I’m so tired of the “that’s cool but not everyone can...” arguments. Yes some people are more privileged than others and can do things others cannot, but if they’re doing HELPFUL things with their privilege, that’s a GOOD thing, not a reason to act condescending and imply that woman like her are spoiled princesses who…

That line bothered me too. It’s so...defeatist.

This is why I always have a problem with the “in my day...” comments. Things were not better in the past. They may have been easier in some ways, depending on your perspective, but in other ways they were worse. And adults weren’t more adept at dealing with the shittiness of kids either. I was a teenager and I got…

I feel this. My feelings about having kids or not having them are very complicated and have a lot to do with my own family; it’s not something I’d want to just explain to others. It’s not as simple as “I just wanna do whatever I wanna all the time!” but I feel like the older I get the more people might judge it as…

When high-school or younger-aged people do it I’m more inclined to blame it on the education system/ their parents than the kids themselves. Personally when I was a teenager in the early 2000s I didn’t know what blackface was, or appropriation. No one ever taught me that in school or at home and I didn’t know any news…

For me, honestly, therapy and drugs were not what ultimately helped me. What DID help was taking CFQ Qi Gong classes. If you’re not familiar with it, look it up. Seriously. It’s not some kind of quack new-age thing, it actually helps people (with all kinds of physical and mental health issues, not just anxiety/…

No, you can’t. Ballet isn’t a culture, it’s a performing art. I find it hilarious that anyone would get upset over this. It’s like if I, as a visual artist, were to get upset about models dressing up in paint-covered clothing and holding easels, and claim it was “appropriating artist culture”. WTF.

I feel like our pop culture cycle is just ruthless to female talent.

I understand not wanting to take health advice from someone who isn’t a qualified health professional, but is calling them a “dumbass” and saying you wish they would just go away really necessary? I mean, personally I am not a fan of Beyonce, but I don’t go posting on articles about her saying I wish she would…

When famous women claim they’re just normal, everyday ladies, they get criticized for being dishonest. When they admit they’re not anywhere near normal and don’t try to be, they get called pretentious. They can’t win.

Personally I’m just over movies about the mid 20th century. Hollywood is quite obsessed with this era I must say.

Don’t forget Lindsay Lohan, the Orange Princess of the Orange Kingdom

Obviously orange people are people of color STOP ERASING US #ORANGEPRIDE
