There is nothing too innocuous that a woman can do that they cannot Do Wrong, according to Jezebel.

Your summation hit home with me so much more than the article. Thanks!

The problem is that the article implies that the affection for fall has its roots in an idealized white femininity versus oh, I don’t know, the harvest, a period of moderate temps and plentiful food in between the extremes of summer and winter, the fact that fall foliage is objectively beautiful...

Because America, of course, invented everything.

I came here to say this too. Harvest festivals have been around for millennia and are certainly not just for white ladies. 

I’m sorry. I don’t think actual white supremacists are running around shouting, “I love fall, because it reminds me of the way things used to be.” That’s incredibly Amerocentric. The French, Japanese, Fins all love fall as well.

I grew up in Miami, so Fall typically means the first maybe chance of non-swamp weather, and the always merciful end to hurricane season.

But pointing at all of the activities and foods associated with fall in America and labeling them “white girl” things in 2020 doesn’t necessarily connote a hatred or disdain for them

I am 100% a white suburban housewife who loves fall and sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes. IDK how this article got into Thanksgiving? Which, while technically in the fall is just a dress rehearsal for Christmas. The secret is, I live in Georgia. In the fall, it is the end of 4+ months of temperatures over 90 and all…

I don’t understand the need to play the “who has it worse” game. Can’t we just acknowledge that its a shitty time for a lot of people for reasons that are sometimes similar and sometimes different?   

Oh yes. Remote Kindergarten is crazy. At least my 3rd grader has a few years of school experience, he can generally fall into a routine (even if we have to have an autism meltdown once a day about zoom). But kindergarten is very hands on, its hard to do digitally, it takes a lot of one on one parent time.

Remember, republicans are obsessed with “voter fraud” because THEY AREN’T THE MAJORITY ANYMORE! Everything they do is about that. And of course any chance they get to bully sexual minorities, they are going to take. I hope that one day this O’Queef loser sets up the wrong person and gets himself killed in the process.…

The diagnosis question gets complicated in part because Marzello has never sought therapy or treatment. He identifies himself as transgender, but also feels shame for that, and has ever since he can remember feeling that way. He says he may have felt he was the wrong gender a child, but can’t specifically recall; he…

Anything to depress the vote. Trump is a literal fucking fascist but eh...we’re not super excited about the Dem choice. So, you know, guess we’ll stay home and watch the downfall of America. 

I am not in a bad mood and this annoyed me as well. This is not the time to look for the absolutely perfect candidate. This is near-literal do or die time. 

I’ve been hoping for Duckworth. I work with a lot of vets who, while never-Trumpers, aren’t crazy about Biden. A combat vet on the ticket could make a huge difference.

Right? Who wants to go through another clown car primary in 2024?

I am fairly convinced that politics are in the shitter right now because politicians are not retiring. They are not finding proteges to boost up, and become the next generation of leader. Look at the average age these people got into politics, got into their seats, vs the average age of people in Congress. Many of the…

The 2020 election is right around the corner and the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, Joe Biden, still hasn’t tapped someone (a woman!!!) to be his Vice President.

Perhaps not the most important aspect of this, but...literally only one member of the Paw Patrol is a cop. There’s also a firefighter, a construction worker, a recyclerthing, and for some reason one with a pink helicopter. And a husky that does, I guess, wilderness rescue?
