“Even though it hasn’t resulted in real change just yet, it’s time to keep the momentum rolling in pushing for... laws disarming domestic abusers”

THIS SPECIFIC THING is the one main point I’ve been beating the drum on this whole time. People with a DV history or who have a restraining order on them should absolutely…

“Background checks are gonna be very strong. We need that. And after we do that, when we see this trouble, we have to nab ‘em. You know, years ago we had mental hospitals, mental institutions, we had a lot of them, and a lot of them have closed.”

Fuuuuuuuuck. This. THIS is why I’ve been terrified of the ‘this is a…

“Trump has reiterated his position that mental health is the cause of mass shootings, rather than easy access to AR-15s”

Crispin Glover has always been the most ‘no duh’ casting idea for the Joker that I’m always surprised when a new version comes out and he’s not courted for it.

“Gloria Estefan, you’ve gotten sick on my suede boots, and that’s not the first time I’ve said that.”

I feel it started off kinda rough, but got better as it went along and I thought it was legitimately very good after the season break.

My personal head canon is that Summer will grow up to be the mother of Gloria Estefan:

Oh, they may recognize them as ‘old’ types of animation, but they still recognize it as animation that gets used.

I see this sentiment a lot, and it kind of confuses me; we have PLENTY of cartoons that still resemble hand-drawn animation; Simpsons, Family Guy, Rick & Morty.

Granted, these are all shows geared towards an older set, but they’re in the general pop culture awareness enough that kids are certainly aware of what…

THIIIIIS! I have a handful of tech bros on my facebook feed that use this (I live in San Francisco; it seems impossible to keep ALL the tech bros out of my environment) and this explanation describes all of them to a T.

Yeah, that’s the most commonly circulated story and OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR USERNAME SO MUCH!

Riiiiight?

I followed T. Swift on The Instagram exclusively for Olivia Benson pics, but then she deleted the whole collection to promote her new album and there hasn’t been a SINGLE cat picture since and I feel almost personally slighted about it.

Monterey is beautiful! Congratulations!

Yeah, I kind of darkly suspect that there may have been some inherent misogyny in all of this, too “Oh, a wealthy, widowed business owner living all alone - and it’s a WOMAN!? Surely she must be craaaazy (::waggles fingers::) and plagued by ghosts.”

I would absolutely like her more if this is true.

Although maybe this is the result of lifelong Bay Area small-apartment living, but I always wonder what a single person even DOES with all that space. I have a one-bedroom apartment, and living alone my only thought is ‘a garage might be nice, or a second room if my…

Possibly? I mean, I’ve noticed even over the past ten years the tour has changed gradually to kind of ‘fluff up’ the spooky elements of it (the candle-light tours in particular; it used to be a standard informational tour at night with a couple of eerie elements added if you were paying attention, but last year they…

It is! Last time I went we went to the Cheesecake Factory right after which was maybe half a block away!

As a Bay Area resident I’ve gone to the Winchester Mystery House maybe half a dozen times; it’s a phenomenal visit if you get the chance. I’m completely on board with the theory that Swift’s building an East Coast version.

“Just because some fucking idiot holds a minority opinion doesn’t mean they deserve a megaphone to blast it to the entire world.”

“There is no way this study counts governmental assistance as income... But the only people that should be living on $4 a day in the US are the ones with mental illness that do not have the help they need to access these programs”
