My cousin, who is ten years younger than me, got strongly addicted to World of Warcraft after my aunt died. I always felt partly responsible because I got him into it. He used to sit on my lap when he was like 8 and we’d make new characters and just run around starting zones. His home life was pretty bad. My aunt had…

Black, like a doll’s eyes.  

It’s easy to fake a lack of recognition when you have dead shark eyes with no emotions.

You know, I always wondered what the perfect blend of savage and accurate looked like.  It’s that.  Right there.  Wow.  

“...her language became the focus of the segment as opposed to the message; it was optimal rant bait for folks who value decorum over sincerity and will do basically anything to avoid talking about gun control.”

I will leave this gem for you to ponder:

This is because Marco Rubio is a fuckless cunt.

This may be heresay, but I once dated a woman who went to UPenn and had worked in the admissions office as a student. When we were dating (2008, so before the Trumps were anything other than a tv family), she mentioned that she saw Ivanka’s files and saw that she had an SAT score in the 1000s.

Median SAT score for…

If the Republicans can’t even read their own tax bill, there’s no way she read any of that report.

There’s a 100% chance Ivanka never read the report and only put her name on it.

This is the M.O. of the entire Trump clan. 

White House Special Advisor to Her Dad Ivanka Trump helped present a report that condemns the same policies and practices being enforced by the the Trump administration right this very moment

“The unfortunate tendency toward self-absorption that’s resulted from my lifelong feud with myself...”

“Since a startling brush with violent suicidal ideation at age 12, the isolating and sadly crucial science of preventing myself from lying on the floor in a fetal position and never getting back up has been my life’s most invisible work.”

Or, these types of articles work to delegitimize trans identities and experiences among allies and potential allies, thus reducing safety for all trans people and making it easier for fascists to harm trans folks with no protection from allies.

I loved this short so much! I surprised to find myself crying (stupid pms). I don’t get how any person, non-Asian or not, could possibly be confused by the story. It was not confusing at all—there were only a few characters and the action was so obvious that no words were needed. Methinks those people are either…

So what you’re saying is that a secret-ish group of many people who represent a significant portion of those who write the news in the US and who are passively or actively resistant to including trans perspectives in their group, despite the fact that they report regularly on trans issues and as a result have a…

“I’m not interested in sharing this list or any other space with someone who is going to insist on nullifying and erasing my existence and experience as female,” a prominent futurist in progressive news media wrote back.

The fact that they toss out around the word “groupthink” so freely while ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.

My mother was this way, and considering the age a lot of our mothers grew up in (hell, the age we’re in now is no picnic *sigh*) I really don’t blame her. Her stories about dodging men in the 60s as a literal CHILD make me want to puke.
