THIS. My Southern relatives were surprisingly accepting of my brother when he came out as trans. But a lot of it was that by identifying as male, he was no longer challenging their gender binary. As one aunt observed “well, he never did like dolls.” So he went from being a she who did not behave like shes should, to

He could be Rex Tillerson? And what about Connie Britton, Kellie Ann Conway?

I’m with you. I refuse to post sonograms or monthly update photos, much less weekly ones. Barf.  

YEEESSSSSS. I would attend the hell out of their town halls, this is a GREAT idea. I’ll start mentioning this in my calls and broadcast this idea widely to MI friends who are also calling our senators and reps.

Which part? I do feel a wee bit bad about not taking a weekly or biweekly or even monthly photo. Subjecting friends and family to topless pregnancy photos? Not so much. Though if my SO had his way...

Friends of mine who work adjacent to the Paris fashion scene (DJs who sometimes play fashion week shows, and have many friends who work for the various couture houses) say that they are for sure fucking. It sheds light on why Tisci would shade Kim with all the trash he makes her wear.

Damn, these are GORGEOUS and are making me feel guilty for not documenting my pregnancy better. But I don’t have professional photographers on hand, much less a tank of water for staging such photos! I guess it’s not too late to bombard my FB feed with topless belly pics wherein my SO holds my boobs Janet Jackson

I was THRILLED to see that her 1st email post Donny’s inaug frontloaded the need to focus on intersectionality. I may be optimistic, but FUCK would it be great to have a governor who understood how systems of oppression intersect, and who was focused on the issues facing MI women and Michiganders of color and poor

Fabulous response is fabulous.

Oh it smells just fine. And I’m almost never sick. And think how much time I save not doing laundry or being a germaphobe!

Yes, I was heartened to hear that the red state legislature is not reflective of the state’s composition. I mean hell, my nearest swing district is 11, which coils around Pontiac like a racist snake. I know it’s easy for us to fixate on the crazy BS going down at the national level, but I feel like the real fight will

I don’t even wash my jeans, you think I’m gonna wash my PILLOWS? I like to think the germs are making me stronger!

Where are his offices? I know if my senators weren’t picking up I’d be stopping by in damn person. (Note: I am obscenely pregnant & thus have the luxury of being on leave right now, I know this is not possible for everyone. But if it is...)

YEESSSSS. I like some better than others, the Manson ones were fucking amazing. I need to go check out if there’s a new season, thanks for reminding me.

When we first moved here and people found out we moved here from a different state almost ALL of them responded “Why did you move here?” That’s super ominous, y’all! I’m due next month, we joke that our baby will need a travel visa for her / him if we ever try to leave here.

THANK YOU WHY IS EVERYONE ACTING LIKE THEY JUST WENT TO A SOME HAUNTED HOUSE??? Maybe it’s because I grew up in Louisiana and study slavery, I can’t HANDLE when they’re just treated as pretty pieces of architecture, devoid from the labor systems and human capital that created them. When the women kept talking about

I didn’t see who posted these, then I saw the last gif and somehow I just *knew* it was you. Those are things of beauty.

Yes, watching the intelligent, educated woman lose out to the dumb, entitled blonde who seems more like a toddler is just too close to home. It’s impossible not to see it through the lens of Trump America.

OOOOOOOHHHH MYYYYYY GAWWWWDDDD!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

We moved from New Orleans, a VERY sociable, warm, and walkable city. There are tons of social gatherings and if people drink at them they can just walk home, take a streetcar or bus or a cab. Here car culture and urban sprawl makes it harder to meet up with folks. And everyone turns into hermits from December to
