Vote early, vote often!

Yes, the child is better of away from them, but I think their biological children would be better off if they were raised by decent people, too. The way this whole thing played out reveals them to be absolutely terrible people. I also have zero respect for people who display their children on social media for money.…

I can only use white towels because I am always suspicious that other colors are secretly dirty and I cannot tell. It’s a paranoia I inherited from my mom.

I don’t think you paid any attention to the protests if you still believe that this is a problem of a few bad apples. They are systematically and intentionally violent. They are not trained to prevent violence but to exert it. They do not exist to provide safety for citizens but to protect unjust structures from the…

‘It’s not for us to determine which ideas in the pages on our shelves are valid and which are not. We leave that to you, our readers.’

Translation: Who can tell if killing innocent people for no reason is defensible is a valid idea? Some of our customers think it is because they do not believe that black people are…

What’s up with those recipes? I feel like I have to scroll down for a mile before I see the ingredients!

I cannot adopt a puppy because we go overseas for long periods to visit family (a month every year) and I do not know how they would handle long absences, especially later down the road when they are older and sick. I cannot take in a pet if I cannot truly honor the commitment as long as they live. And the did this to…

Dear white people, you have to help POC, especially black men, in such situations. They may literally get murdered and people will assume they are guilty. Stay, record, be prepared to be a witness and if you can, intervene, but do not call the cops. And same goes for kids. Never ever watch a kid get beaten or…

There are tons of women, most of whom surely did not sexually assault anyone. That’s over fifty percent of the population right there. And most of the other men in the Democratic primary were never accused of any sexually inappropriate behavior, either. Biden and Bloomberg were. There are enough people in the country…

I guess we care about rape allegations only when it concerns Republican politicians. It’s like the alternative universe here. Biden: fewer rape and harassment allegations than Trump! That’s a winning feminist slogan. There were a dozen candidates and people picked this one. It must be so difficult to find a…

I remember having strong opinions about this controversy, I cannot remember what they were at all. It’s so weird. I don’t even remember whose side I was on.

Well, there are different dynamics in place. The party machine fought hard against Bernie and mobilized all of its decades long connections in communities that lean heavily Democratic and are reliable primary voters. Primary voters are different from general election voters (which is not necessarily good or bad for…

Oh they dress like that alright. I teach at a liberal arts college. I have to watch kids repeat all the sartorial mistakes of my youth.

Most of Audrey Hepburn’s movies are like that. She falls in love with men 30 years her senior. She looks so young and ethereally beautiful and the men look like they are about to go to the community center to play bingo and talk about their hip problems. I love her, but those casting choices bother me a lot.

This was such an enjoyable and insightful read. Thank you.

What a lot of these accusations discount is that “weakness” (which is not a weakness, I am just repeating her term) is often economic. Predators smell desperation. They can tell who needs the job so badly that they have no power in relation to their superiors at work. I could always walk away from an abusive…

Trump cannot tell the truth to save his life. Literally every sentence coming out of his mouth and keyboard are lies, some of them monumental and criminal, and we are taking Warren to task about a few minor misstatements and missteps. The world is a bizarre place. I am a Bernie supporter, but I totally believe that…

Because most match-up polls show that both Sanders and Warren have a higher chance of beating Trump than Biden at the moment. Why is it magical thinking to rely on polls? They are not perfect, but they are better than basing your guess on your preferences.

A family member gave birth to a preterm baby with preterm birth related health problems. The cost was around 1 million dollars. After months and hundreds of hours of negotiations, the insurance (A grade insurance from a top firm) agreed to pay almost all of it. Their co-pay was around 10 thousand dollars. They were on…

I came here to write the same thing. Hannah was definitely unlikable to me, but Fleabag and Issa? I love their messy selves to pieces.
