I’ve seen a lot of, “Now you know what we felt like when Obama won” (also one deeply bizarre “I personally would point and laugh if Trump supporters were peacefully protesting, therefore it is by definition impossible for anyone to protest Trump in any way without being a hypocrite”), which is just another window into…

In line at the grocery this morning, I saw the new issue of People magazine. I audibly “tsked”. The man in line in front of me turned and nodded. His young daughter announced “WE voted for Hillary!” Her dad prodded, “And why?” The child answered “Because she’s smart and nice, and he’s dumb and stupid.” So these two…

I’m from Ireland, and I’ve been reading Jezebel for years. This website and it’s commenters have given me more of an education than my actual degree did. I read every single article and discussion leading up to the election and I was with you all this week while you hoped and cried and despaired and swore. I read…

I donated to planned parenthood and then got a lecture from a family member about dead babies. So I donated again, double my original amount, in said family member’s name.

Our family used to own a mom&pop shop pizza restaurant. After 9/11, people were unconscionably rude to my parents (immigrants with thick ass accents from Iran). It pained my mom to hear constant variations of “fuck you, you terrorist Arabs”. My dad however saw it differently. He was a college student in Oklahoma…

How about the ladies just stop fucking Republicans?

Stop saying shit is meaningless. That’s why people sit at fucking home and don’t vote, or vote third party, or elect a hate-spewing racistmisogynisticpieceofshitasshole for our president.

Important to note: please take your donations local as well. With the inevitable cuts and restrictions on the horizon, it’s the small local nonprofits and branch offices that will be under the greatest pressure to get the funding they need to keep their programs running. And the fact that your money passes through…

I can’t edit my original post but I wanted to tell everyone, I VOTED!!!! My husband went just now and called and said there was no line at all, and he explained my situation to the poll workers so they were prepared to bring the machine to my car if I needed it (thankfully I didn’t!) I AM SO HAPPY!!!!

my dad always told me not to do things because girls don’t do them. girls don’t play these kinds of sports. girls don’t move away from home and leave their families. girls don’t argue with their sisters. girls don’t do this and they can’t do that and they shouldn’t do that. and every time he said shit like that my jaw…

My husband and I early voted in Raleigh, NC. The line on the first Sunday of early voting was 2 hours on average. A good chunk of that was due to the fact that we had less early voting sites overall, and most of them didn’t open until a week or two later. There’s been a lot of voter suppression and disenfranchisement…

I woke up in Columbus, Ohio at 6 a.m., slapped on my “The Future is Female” sweatshirt, and headed to my polling place at about 6:35. The line was already outside the building. I waited for about 20 minutes, and got to an electronic voting machine. I got on page 3 of 8, when my machine started acting up. The touch…

Love this! I am surprised by how excited I am. I know a lot of people voted early and were encouraging as many people as possible to do so. I decided to wait until today, because it’s my birthday, and I’m so happy I did. It feels really wonderful to cast my ballot for the first woman president of this country. I think…

When I was in the third grade, we had a strong mean girl clique pretty much centered around this one bitch named Natalie (I know we shouldn’t call 9-year-olds bitches, but her bitchery was solid and impressive). Anyway, there was another girl in our class named Rachel. Rachel was really shy and her mother was worried…

I went door to door as a Jehovah’s Witness. I had to do the whole “I can’t participate in holiday stuff” at school. I hated nearly every minute of it, but I still did it, and I was still anti-choice for a long time after I left.

Anti-vaxxing. In my defense it was an op-ed to the school newspaper against the flu shot but I was rightfully torn asunder by a med student the next day.

Oh god. If you can admit it, I will too. My first vote, going away to college - liberal arts major and “well Reagan WAS an actor!”

Tithed to the LDS church.

I voted for Reagan.
