Disillusionment does not necessarily equal not voting for him. Heck, I’ve never *not* felt disillusioned about the DNC’s pick, and yet I still vote for whoever wins the Democractic primaries. Many of the people I know who were dissatisfied with Trump still voted for him because they didn’t want to vote Blue, but did

Seventy-four million people didn’t storm the capitol. I’m betting there are ‘tons of people in those millions who just voted along party lines. Trump was trash, but there’s a big difference between sticking with your usual partisan choice and storming federal buildings.

Everyone I know who voted for Trump was disillusioned with him almost a year ago when they saw his ‘leadership’ in a global crisis. My guess is most of these people have wanted a violent outlet ever since they saw a Black man in the White House, it wasn’t just Trump or alt-right politics, it was the permission to

I love that she did this as a response to early menopause. I’m taking notes.

I love that she rationalized not including very many voices of color because she was only writing about her actual clientele, for it highlights the fact that accessing therapy is really challenging in communities of color. It was then, and it still is now. Good on her for sending out those copies. I hope she mentions

It’s especially funny given that her job is to play pretend for a living.

It’s almost like Ricky Gervais was pretty much correct in all of his “over the line” appearances as the host. He has literally said this every single year.

There were so many bizarre moments. I’m am staunchly against Allen and have believed Dylan from the outset, but the way Mia Farrow seems to collect children and demonstrated that she could not adequately protect them from an abuser also makes me really sad. Yes, she was also a victim of his manipulation, but she set

Femur fractures typically happen with a fall. If I had to bet I would say she was 1) somewhat out of shape from the pandemic 2) playing a sport/exercising 3) stumbled. This is how a healthy 18 year old I know fractured a femur playing tennis recently. In older adults it’s much easier to predict and prevent, but with

I’m wondering if once he became a teetotaler he got hooked. Soda seems to be the go-to fix for people who are trying not to drink, and I guess choosing diet makes it seem healthier if you’re drinking it a lot?

I’ve been ruminating over people discussing their experiences of assault publicly on social media.

I think in terms of just basic morals, you listening to the music has no effect on anything (other than your own ears/brain), so there isn’t really a moral breach of any kind.

Seeing a lot of sweeping generalizations about ‘Texas’ and ‘Texans’ being responsible for this man. Let’s not forget that there are plenty of people who have been working their butts off for decades to make Texas a livable place for BIPOC, LGBTQIA, women seeking autonomy over their bodies, and other oppressed groups.

Right? They don’t appear to have snowplows in Texas - how are planes taking off? Also, if they do have snow plows, why aren’t they reallocating those resources to, idk, main thoroughfares that get people to and from grocery stores and hospitals???

It’s also not even like he’s ugly. He’s just not a heartthrob actor. I remember when they first got married everyone freaked out. It was dumb. 

I’m so tired of porn dictating what is supposed to good or hot for women.

What I’m specifically talking about isn’t so much about who is in prison but rather the idea that it’s simply due to the fact that this woman is white that this issue is suddenly getting coverage. It’s getting coverage because it’s a juicy story involving interesting rich people. If it were just a matter of being

We also really need to acknowledge poverty and how it plays into this. Yes, I understand that BIPOC are disproportionately imprisoned, which is important to note, and also there are ‘tons of impoverished white people in the system. It’s a both issue.

I kind of feel like the only reason we’re talking about this is that the press kind of loved constantly covering the Trump administration and there must be weird growing pains around having to like, pick apart centrist policy instead of just pointing out blatantly bad behavior.

There’s a chance that steroids are part of his stage 4 cancer regimen and steroids can fuck up behavior precisely in the way that is described here.
