Agreed with your last part. Edward said that he wanted a job to serve his country, but it was out of wanting to serve himself. Everything he did came from a place of ego and self preservation.

The thing is - flights DO NOT HAVE TO BE HORRIBLE. I just spent 2 weeks in Australia and flew a few times domestically, and they were amazing. We got free meals on 2 hour flights. I noticed a woman breastfeeding her baby on one flight and no one said a damn thing. Not a single checked baggage fee. You could bring…

Hahaha alt-white walkers. Gonna use that one.

My partner bought a gun this past fall, a couple weeks after the election. My sweet, non-confrontational, mixed-raced partner is fearful of being harassed by white, racist yokels, and decided to arm himself. He was harassed alot after 9/11, and he doesn’t want to go back to that. Another mixed race couple we know also…

LOVE HER IN AMERICAN GODS

As soon as I saw “non-profit” everything made sense. In my experience, many non-profits treat their employees horribly, guilting them for asking for living wages and benefits because the meaningful work should pay for itself (and I know there are several articles out there on it as well as a book by INCITE!). I’ve…

Nonprofits for sure have liability insurance and D&O insurance as well to protect board members. I’m guessing their premiums are gonna be high after this pay-out, and that probably will come from the taxpayers.

I love Sasha, but Peppermint has been solid this season. Also, how awesome for the first transwoman to win?

How is this not a police state?

I heard a legal expert say the court will probably toss it out since the 90/120 day ban has passed. Their excuse for instituting it was to vet the process, and they’ve had their time. Otherwise, there hasn’t been any proof to why this ban needed to be instituted. 

ALL OF THIS. FWIW, Vanity Fair posted an article on Monday saying that Kushner has fallen in line with all of Trump’s initiatives, including supporting the Muslim ban. He also argued for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement. I think that with the Russian investigation on him, he’s just going to show more and…

Same. I seriously clicked on the article to see if she had gotten a new hairdo for some dumb fucking event at the White House.  

As someone who has worked and volunteered at women’s homeless shelter that will be losing CDBG money if this budget is approved, fuuuuuuuck you, Ben Carson. We only have one part-time paid employee and everything else is volunteer driven. But the small amout of funding we received is going to be difficult to make up.…

Homelessness is often invisible, so I wouldn’t believe those numbers.

I think it’s worst for introverted people. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but I spend alot of time in my head, which extends to analyzing stupid shit I think I said. And sometimes I need my partner to tell me to stop and that I’m overthinking.

They all also supported Trump during the election last year as well. One of their former members maintained a blog (which crashed after the AP went public with their investigation) and I don’t know if it ever came back online, but he had posted a picture of the women from the cult front and center at a Trump rally in…

The Daily Show the other night called Angela Merkel the Leader of the Free World. I’ve never been the most patriotic American, but damn, that hit me. And to think, over 70 years ago, Germany had the most hated leader of the world. Now, who will save America? We are so fucked (my mantra, every.single.day).

Agreed. I was also just thinging that so many Christian Conservatives could look past Trumps MANY immoral faults (divorces, sexual harassment/rape, weird father/daught relationship, etc) to come together and vote him in with this objective in mind - to defund Planned Parenthood and overturn reproductive rights. Yet…

Because the people of the USA do not believe healthcare is a human right, plain and simple. And as long as it’s run like a for-profit business and employers are left to pay for it, it’s never going to change. :(

I also live in a state that is covering it. However, I think a business, like a big corporation, could contest it in a federal court of law. I think there are going to be numerous legal challenges in the years to come for states who are not on the same page as federal laws, from reproductive justice to minimum wages…
