It got absorbed, but I still use the term Gen Y because I feel like those of us born between 1980-1985 have experiences from both generations preceding and following us.

I have so many great pictures of myself in classic late 90s get-ups. I had it all: Baggy cargo pants with crop tops, layered spaghetti strap tanks, choker necklaces, glitter body gel, chunky shoes, babydoll dresses, pleated plaid mini skirt with combat boots, hair charms, and several key wardrobe pieces made entirely…

Mrs. Funk will be there, and we’ve already explained to the three little Funklets why it’s so important for mommy to go away later this month. She’s doing this for them, more than anything, because if we don’t start setting a better example for future generations we’re more doomed than we already are.

I emailed my Rep, too, but seeing as he is a scandal-plagued dirtbag, he won’t give two shits. So instead I told him “congratulations on getting rid of those pesky investigations, eh? wink, wink!”

I know it feels that way, but both sides pull strings. A lot of GOP were upset at Obama’s frequent use of Exec. Order.

*takes seat quietly*

I also made VIB Rouge for the first time this year.

Listen, man. Don’t be bagging on my NH pitch! I know there are other purple states but my biased opinion is that New Hampshire is the best of them, and I want to cultivate my feminist commune of central NH with Jezzy defectors from other (red) states.

I totally agree with this, and I am a Californian born and bred. While living across the globe, my identification was always ‘Californian.’ I feel a part of the nature, here: the land. I never walk on this land without thinking of and feeling the Native American presence that was once paramount. I am not Christian but…

Good for you! You’re so young— you’re right, it can’t go on for 20 years like that. I didn’t start base color until i turned 40 (4 years ago), and I’m still getting away with 8 weeks. I’ll eventually go much lighter so it won’t be this harsh line between the brown (way too red brown because they can never seem to get…

And on January 20th Trump will be kicking a black family out of their home. Some things never change.

I thought that during the campaign. But after the election, with trump deep throating Putin even more and making or taking calls to/from Taiwan and now talking about our nuclear arsenal, I think a Pence presidency means less likelihood of the world ending in oblivion. So I will reluctantly accept a regressive domestic…

I was able to get the morning after pill via PP when a condom broke. I’ll always be grateful to them and I donate whenever I can.

Yeah, that 500% increase which is a fraction of the people who enter NYC daily and less than a thousandth of the total US population. Fucking ostriches with their heads in the sand. Just cite this anytime one of them calls someone/thing a pussy, coward, etc.

“It doesn’t hurt me/won’t hurt me.” I heard this soooo many times and tried to disabuse people of this notion that whatever the GOP does won’t hurt them—and the idea that if they’re personally unaffected, then they shouldn’t take those things into consideration. I talked about the repeal of Obamacare. “Do you think…

The state departments take their marching orders from the CDC.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: it’s a good thing that his conflicts of interest aren’t over something truly sinister, like helping African children who have AIDS.

Theft and vandalism. I know a couple of people who got multiple HRC signs because theirs kept getting stolen and/or destroyed. So I’m guessing pure Midwestern stubbornness had these people putting signs back up even after election day. It was definitely a bright spot in my personal hellscape.

Education (especially for women) and easy access to contraceptives. The top 29 countries for projected fertility rates until 2050 are all African countries, and all are expected to have fertility rates at least twice that of the replacement rate. Two of the key factors for reducing fertility rates are access to…

English... how does it work?
