Danke!

I totally understand why we moved toward deinstitutionalization in this country, but what we replaced it with (pretty much nothing) means that there is nowhere for people to go when they need help.

Folks. There isn’t enough funding going into mental health. There aren’t enough facilities/beds, and in the rare instances where there are, it’s difficult to keep staffing up so that those beds can be filled. Mental health workers are often overworked and underpaid, and in those spaces where more is needed (outreach…

I will reserve judgment of this movie until I have seen it. I cannot say whether it is better or worse than the first Ghostbusters movie and I don't think that I can make an informed opinion of this film's merits and flaws without having first seen the movie in its entirety. I know that the existence of this movie…

SO EXCITED! Fuck you, haters... and a special Fuck You to Cinemassacre for taking such a BRAVE stance for nerddom by not only refusing to see and review it, but encouraging us to do the same.

including an appearance by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, who looks much less cute these days

Exactly this. It’s not about which candidate you support or whether you think the system is rigged or whether you think Hillary Clinton eats dead puppies for lunch (she does).

I’m sorry, death threats, threats of violence, and slurs from Hillary supporters? Where please?

what errors were on the NV State Dem. side? who have HRC supporters doxxed or threatened? I’d really like to know what you think the equivalencies are here, because honestly I don’t see it, but I am willing to be open minded if you have proof of something nefarious being done.

Does it honestly not bother you that Bernie supporters are sending death threats to a woman who, as far as I can tell, was just doing her job? I get wanting to have positive coverage of your preferred candidate, but any coverage of the event that leaves out the booing and death threats is still pretty slanted - it’s…

Dont you dare apologize! I was hoping you’d give me more background but didn’t want to ask, because I could probably google all of this.

I am not painting *you* as anything. I am also, in my way, as I mentioned up top, “a woman who supports Bernie,” although as a journalist I don’t throw my arms around any politician entirely and never will.

“it goes without saying that I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals.”

in short, 64 Sanders delegates at the convention were disqualified, according to the state party, either because they failed to show up, failed to register as Democrats by May 1, or because they didn’t respond to attempts to confirm their phone numbers or addresses.

children behave better than this.

We’ve become a nation of children.

So there is some context required, the girls were kidnapped about 5 months before the presidential election and President Goodluck Jonathan (who frankly brought very little good luck to the country) decided that the kidnapping was an effort to discredit him and his presidency. So they did nothing for almost 5 days,…

I wish there was a fund for people who suffer like this. She deserves nothing less than a lifetime of great therapy, a lifetime of relaxation and leisure.

Apparently her father died while she was in captivity, too. I’m so glad she’s been found alive, but I don’t even know if traumatized is even a strong enough word to describe what she likely is at this point. Those poor girls.

I think, perhaps, he meant as in being physically fine. He did say she was traumatized...
