The UW Student Association recently passed a resolution calling for divestment from corporations that invest in prisons, fossil fuels and other human rights violations. School officials flat-out denied it. So the Chair of the Student Association wrote this. I don’t think a building is going to cut it.

I hate these fuckers. HATE THEM. These are the fuckers who commit violence and say it’s to “defend” white women like me. These are the fuckers who want me to be their brood mare. I am not ashamed, or disappointed by these fuckers. I am ANGRY at them, and I refuse to let them use me as an excuse. I have no upper arm

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Nope.

HOW did Obama “race bait”?

It really depends on the troop leaders. I dropped out after one year because the mom running our troop assigned “homework” and we all had to work on the same badges, even if it was a skill you’d already completed.

When my mom told my grandma that she was in therapy, my grandma replied “I thought you were the sane one in the family.” To which my mother replied, “I’m the sane one because I go to therapy.”

Yup. I was at a winery in Galena last year and ordered the cheese plate. We didn’t know what was on it, but I tasted the first one, I thought, “Welp, that’s Bella Vitano” and then heard the waitress at another table confirm it. Then I corrected her pronunciation, because I’m just that smug. And I think I’m just now

No tears yet, but I’ve got that feeling in my chest that tells me if that trailer had been a teeeny bit longer, I would have been bawling. Which means I’m bringing a whole box of kleenex to the movie theater.

I’ve never actually been to Mars Cheese Castle. I don’t know any locals who actually go to cheese shops. But any high-end market is going to have a good selection of local cheese--keep an eye out for Clock Shadow Creamery and Sartori.

I’d almost gotten used to hearing the phrase “President Trump” (shudder) but last night listening to the radio on my commute home, I just let it fly: “Fuck you! How is this fucking possible! You’re a fucking reality tv star! This should have never fucking happened! Fuuuuuuuuck.”

Nope. Milwaukee. But we get a lot of traffic from Chicago. There’s a two-for-one deal where if you drop off an elderly relative at the Holocaust Center, you get 50% off at the Abortionplex. Plus, there’s free beer in the recovery room and a lot of people like to make a stop at Mars Cheese Castle on the way home.

In my town, it’s right next to the Abortionplex.

My sister was the biggest tomboy when she was little. When McDonalds use to do the Hot Wheels/Barbie Happy Meals, she and mom would go in specificially to get Hot Wheels. Instead of “Hot Wheels or Barbie? the cashiers would always as “Boy or girl?” So my mom would stare at them (alongside with my sister) just long

There’s a woman who lives in the apartment building next to me that drives this broken-down Pontiac - broken windshield, no hubcaps, etc.--but I can just tell from the time she spends out there changing the oil, and the fact that she as The Club on the steering wheel even though the car’s probably worth less the $300,

“job creators” are sacred and must be protected at all costs.

Bets on when they change the name of the Justice Department to the “Law and Order Department”? Because they sure as hell don’t care about justice.

Saw Angela Davis speak the other night. She mentioned how she has a problem with the “glass ceiling feminism” she saw coming from the Clinton campaign, because if you’re about to break a glass ceiling, you’re already at the top. She quoted from Michael Bennet’s (Seattle Seahawks) International Women’s Day statement,

I feel like JezSpin is unecessary this year, as every day for the next 4 years is essentially April Fools.

For these people “separation of church and state” means the government can’t prohibit anything as long as it’s based on ‘religious faith’, including prohibiting lawmakers from passing bills based on religious faith. because the And since the Founding Fathers totally, completely based the Constitution on the Bible,
