Amongst my friends on social media who are critical of Harris, there’s been a pretty clear division - black women and men and other people of color have treated Harris as a serious candidate requiring vetting and asking serious questions about, and white men and women who were fervent supporters of Bernie in 2016…

He spends so much time at his resorts and private residences he doesn’t need to have a tanning bed or spray tan facility in the White House. I mean, has nobody figured this out?

Your montages are just about perfect. I’ve tried to watch the full show and just end up skipping a bunch! But these are great.

I hated P.E. so much that I got a note from a doctor to be able to skip it for years. I spent my time in the library instead, hanging out with the cool librarian who when I had to select books for book reports almost always handed me books on various banned book lists (this is especially awesome because I went to an…

I think I have uncovered a couple of new and exciting things with my work, but I keep thinking that must be an error - surely SOMEBODY has seen this before and published something about it!? But I’ve been scouring the literature to no avail. So maybe!

I can’t even imagine finding a typo on the very last page!! I’m…

So every once in a while I talk about my dissertation writing process here... well, this week I turned it in to my committee!! Woo! Now I get to wait for their feedback and see how bad it is and how much I need to rewrite in a mad dash so I can graduate this semester. I’ve already paid my filing fee, I’d better…

They probably won’t go directly after Roe in the short term. This is because Roe is already effectively dead, Justice Kennedy killed it by allowing draconian restrictions on clinics, which opened the door for the barrage of TRAP laws ever since. Even if nothing changes in regard to Roe, there’s entire swaths of the…

It depends on what the prosecutor seeks, any plea deals they reach (if it’s a first time offense, very likely), and the discretion of the judge. They are white women, and the victim is a trans woman, so how much do you want to bet they’re going to get leniency?

Another female candidate who will be too progressive, but not progressive enough. Too experienced, but not experienced enough. 

“I’m not a racist, I just believe that white people have made the greatest contributions to society and that we shouldn’t do any race mixing, and that we need to keep this a white majority nation. That’s not white nationalism! That’s just nationalism!”

One of my closest friends is in a similar state of transition right now, and I’m so concerned for her safety, even though we live in an area that is pretty friendly to trans people. I am constantly wary about my safety as a woman on the street because I’ve been chased and harassed and assaulted, like many women who…

Agree.

Just a small quibble - we don’t find out that this was released on Netflix until the third paragraph, and even then it’s buried in a comparative statement, and only mentioned once! I say this because I clicked on this to be like, yeah, this is right up my alley and where can I watch this?? It seems like the lede…

Well they might also be taking this as a way to stop drinking caffeine altogether, which a lot of people do. I’m a tea drinker and a couple years ago gave it up for a couple of months to see how it affected me. I went back to drinking tea after that, but cut down considerably after that.

Plus, caffeinated beverages…

Totally understandable! Oddly enough, when I was pregnant and super sick, the smell of my neighbor’s coffee and cigarette smoke under our window was mildly comforting. As soon as I wasn’t constantly vomiting from my eyeballs anymore, the smells went back to really bothering me.

It’s not weird to ask. I had hyperemesis when I was pregnant (it was so bad I was hospitalized twice), and I absolutely could not have certain foods even in the house or talked about at all for the first six months. My husband was happy to keep all that stuff out of the house and not mention them to me. I think in my…

Right? Just say no if you’re not going to do it. Or admit that it’s too difficult. Sheesh.

Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s rather nice and sweet that he’s engaging in some dietary solidarity with his wife while she’s pregnant.

Bingo. That’s literally all a lot of these guys have to do. It’s not that hard! But apparently it’s the hardest thing in the world.

It seems to me like he’s decided his new target audience are exactly the sort of people who don’t think that he should have been held accountable for what he did to women. And that says everything, really.
