I think my mom’s the only exception; she’s actually gotten more liberal as she’s gotten older. In her case, it’s an almost ruthless pragmatism - her financial situation always improves under a Democratic presidency, but it gets worse under a Republican one. If nothing else, Mama Footsteps knows which side of the bread…

*SPOILER ALERT*

Yeah, pretty much anyone who’s had an elderly parent/relative who was enlightened and liberal in their youth turn into a Faux News watching Teabagger understands “ How could the saintly Atticus — described in early sections of the book in much the same terms as he is in “Mockingbird” — suddenly emerge as a bigot?”.

I can only fall asleep to crime television. (ID is my groove). Music soothes me but I fight sleep to hear more of it, especially if there’s a favorite song next. Or next. Or next. I think it’s the voices of the narrators. Though it could be considered kind of gruesome. And I guess it would work if you actually cared…

THIS IS WHY IM SCARED FOR THE SEASON TBH

“they get more liberal, it’s just that society outpaces them so they appear more conservative compared to younger people.”

Yours too? WHAT THE FUCK??? Fear (and too much money, in my parents’ case) is powerful.

So basically it’ll be the story of my life- raised by loving, uber-liberal post-hippy parents who, in their old age, are starting to parrot the racists tropes they get from the media?

lol you guys sound like me and my sister. for my birthday, she gave me a floral-printed pillow with “fuck your patriarchal bullshit” in pink cursive on it.

They also apparently don't get that abortion didn't start with the Roe v Wade decision. Women have been getting them since they first discovered herbs that would induce them. Even if they managed to make them illegal, women would still get them.

You are a far classier broad than I; the graduation card I gave my SIL said, “You’re the Shit”. (In script, of course — I’m not an animal.)

HOW IS SHE SO AMAZING? WHAT IS HER SECRET? HOW CAN I BE 10% AS SMART AS SHE IS?

You are the Queen of Jezebel right now. You’re the Queen of the Universe right now. You are amazing.

UGH

HEY THAT’S ME! I MADE THAT! True life, I cried a little bit when I got it in the mail, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen my father look at me with such pride.

Dear Justice Ginsburg, Thank YOU for your artistry and caring. You’ve made this great country a vastly greater place. Sincerely, Everyone

Did you know that “starring” a comment is a modern-day way of congratulating someone with posting a useless comment that says “+1”?

Another Redakin who never shuts up about that Wounded Knee.

“I’ve spoken with Native Americans across this great country. Two, in particular, really resonated with me. Their names were Tibia and Fibula from the Snapcreek Nation, and they just shattered me with their enthusiasm for the name. Absolutely cracked me up.”

All of you are going to make a comment about Theismann breaking his leg, but unlike you, I’m going to take the high road and say that Theismann is a fucking idiot.
