I will never understand why her godmother Dolly has never just taken her aside and slapped some sense into her.

Nah, she’d probably choose Hillary over Deval, but good try.

Patrick gave the commencement speech at my sister’s graduation last year. He was only about five minutes in when my (white) mother whispered, “He’s got my vote.”

Read the headline and immediately thought, “NO WAY.”

I just bought a house after years of saving up. As I was walking up to the porch one day, I realized that with a 30-year mortgage over my head, the chances of me ever escaping this dumpster fire and moving to Canada had gone from “slim” to “none.” It made me sad.

I always thought an interesting alternate history would be one where Reconstruction actually continued, and all the freed slaves got their 40 acres and a mule.

I was about to point out that some of those “bums” are probably transgender, but then I thought, “Holy shit, did the commander-in-chief just call veterans “bums”?”

There is a video out there of a black man and a white man open carrying on the same block. White man gets a talking to. Black man is surrounded by cop cars and lying on his stomach before they even ask him anything.

No, not letting doctors examine the child in order to keep the sex secret is the extreme part. Once the child starts to have an identity/personality of their own and wants to be identified as “they,” go ahead. I’m all about the singular they. If the preschool is sorting everything by gender, yeah, pull the teacher…

Him dating someone within a year of his wife’s death is nbd (assuming they didn’t meet at the funeral), but I think that even under the best of circumstances, getting married after dating less than a year is rushing it.

It’s possible to raise a non-heteronormative child without resorting to extremes. My friend and her partner (who is non-binary) have a son who they refer to using male pronouns, but they are adamant that at two years old, it’s too early to know “his” gender and that it may change (they also gave him a relatively…

Yeah, that’s the first role I’ve actually liked him in. Stop trying to make him a star and he’s a pretty solid ensemble member.

Starred for “that vampire show.” I was sick and rarely left my house when that show was on, so I have a soft spot in my heart for Moonlight. I think he had another show right after that which lasted about as long. Like Jason O’Mara, you can tell that the networks were trying so hard to make Alex O’Loughlin the Next…

I occasionally binge-watch this while cleaning the house, paying bills, etc. I think that’s the mindset of the network, but in reality, both Park and Kim have been given major storyline arcs. At its heart, the show is a procedural, and you could easily switch out any of the main cast, including the two “leads,” whose…

“Thank you, 53 percent of white women...”

A cop got away with murder. Yes, he was black. But had he been convicted, it would have sent the message that cops are fallible and can make mistakes. It still fits the pattern: blue lives are more important than black lives.

Nah. I think it went more like this:

Neither can the Democrats of Milwaukee County. A few weeks ago I saw a FB post from them that just read, “Sheriff Clarke is not a Democrat. Sheriff Clarke is not a Democrat. Sheriff Clarke is not a...”

Sixteen-year-old me would have eaten this up with a spoon. Thirty-six-year-old me is “meh.”
