Jared Kushner will be frustrated. He had “fixing the opioid epidemic” on his to-do list for Wednesday afternoon (between “defeat ISIS” at 11:30 AM and “renegotiate NAFTA” by 1:15 PM.) now he’ll have to find something else to do for that hour and a half.

Oh, it’s not an excuse, it’s an accusation. No way she took any time from her busy schedule of pretending to work in order to do the actual work of writing a book—even if she only wrote 2/3 of it. Hell, I spent 5 years simply transcribing and editing a book that was entirely written by two other people. Also, I’m…

Ivanka is like her father: she thinks saying she’s for something is enough and that she doesn’t have to back any of it up. Look how upset Trump gets when he gets called out on breaking his promises, which are too numerous and contradictory to count. She’s exactly the same way, minus the anger. She expects to be…

A review I read compared her writing to a bad freshman comp essay. This just proves the point.

There are only about a million of us based on moderate estimates. I wouldn’t say murder is the leading cause of death though. It looks like suicide is exponentially worse for trans people than murder. That said, 23 murders is a pretty big number for such a small population.

Testino, who clearly understands Jenner better than I do, suggested that her photo shoots may be less “sexual” because others regard her as a high-fashion model.

Sadly I think suicide is #1. But Murder is way too far up the fucking list. Murder should be way down list, next to killed by vending machine or rabbid possums.  :(

Orcas have been known to assist whaling vessels. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_whales_of_Eden,_Australia

As a fellow mammal, I’m totally on the Orca’s side when it comes to battles against big fish.

There is a middle ground. I’ve never been able to stomach dramatizations of the holocaust. That doesn’t mean I don’t know or learn about it - I’ll just take it in the form of a history book. Some people have suggested that I’m distancing myself from it, but I don’t think that’s true, somethings are really hard to…

I don’t know, I can imagine situations but they would be pretty rare. I think what gets me is as a show, Handmaid’s Tale is significantly less violent and graphic than something like Game of Thrones (I do know one guy who stopped watching GoT because he felt it was too violent, but he’s the only one I know). If you…

I do think there is some validity to that, though I also understand why people find the show so relevant and appealing right now. An article in the NYRB kind of nailed what my girlfriend and I found problematic about HMT. The whole review is, in my opinion, worth reading, but here’s a relevant quote:

you can’t look away because something is difficult to look at

She only won two out of 105 departments. Macron flipped nearly every department that she won in the first round. The highest proportion of blank ballots came from her strongholds.

A moral victory would have been for her to get 0% of the vote. A moral victory for morals, anyway.

Wisdom is relevant-being unnecessarily cynical isn’t. I’m very very concerned about the resurgence of acceptable racism in politics. I’m black. I live in America. Our racist candidate won. Do not try to tell me that I don’t think actively countering this crap is important or relevant.

Say it! I so badly want to understand this urge to immediately shit on anything good.

Oh this is such good news after finding out my Trump voting selfish family despite knowing my terminal condition and being told multiple times that I need advance notice and every single time before just springing it on me the day of that my grandpa (the second most important person in my life) is coming over so I…

At this point, France should ask for that statue back.

Tell the world my story!
