Just rewatched Idiocracy recently. Terrifyingly accurate depiction of societal regression and fear/distrust of knowledge. These people want to stay ignorant, anything else is too much work. This is the country that calls Kim Kardashian a “business woman.” Laziness and ignorance covered up by bravado is championed…
Is it a Federal crime to forge adoption papers so that Michelle unwittingly becomes my Mom? And by “my” I mean the friend that I am asking for.
How about the ladies just stop fucking Republicans?
I am sorry too. We will keep fighting, like Gloria Steinem wrote “real change, like a tree, grows from the bottom up, not the top down... We will not mourn, we will organize. Maybe we are about to be free.”
Good on them. I really don’t understand the disapproval and derision we had in the comments against the protesters. I could understand if people wanted them to wait until there was a specific action against which to protest (but now, the 100 Days plan fits that bill, right?). Instead it was sneering along the lines of…
I’m seeing a whole lot of this.
DREAM RENEE KARDASHIAN.
....as well as three of Chyna’s sisters, her dear friend Treasure, and mom Tokyo Toni who fly...
Hopefully today will be my first full day of work. Yesterday I was sent home, “not as a reprimand, but to calm down and get some perspective.”
Funny complaining like that got a whole lot of people the vote. Complaining like that stopped a war. Complaining like that, freaking freed a whole country from colonization. You want end game tactics on the first damn day. This is where it starts, dismiss this and there won’t be anyone to do the work.
I participated too, and it was the first time I’d smiled since last night. So yes, everyone can snark away and call it meaningless; but it felt heartening to be surrounded by like minded people, and I now feel a little less alone and less unwelcome and less threatened.
I think you’ll find there are a lot of non-white people - particularly Latinos/Latinas - at these protests, too. And presumably the white people at these protests were not Trump voters. The guy I just saw on CNN was clearly a Hillary voter not a Stein or Johnson supporter.
Last night, I was walking home while sobbing from my friends’ election party-turned-funeral-for-America, and this guy was walking in the opposite direction, crying, and we just stopped and talked for a minute and then hugged (not in a creepy way at all).
I participated in the New York protests. This morning I woke up literally wanting to die, feeling like every tiny bit of mental health progress I’ve made in my life had vanished. But now, there’s hope back in my heart. My brain feels clear. My love of feminism feels like a fire in me again, not an awful burden. This…
Stop saying shit is meaningless. That’s why people sit at fucking home and don’t vote, or vote third party, or elect a hate-spewing racistmisogynisticpieceofshitasshole for our president.
I would have been lost without all of you for these last 18 orange tinged months. You guys kept me sane. Every time the Twilight Zone feeling descended I looked to you, authors and fellow Kinjateers to reassure me that the whole country hadn’t lost its friggin’ mind. We laughed, we cried, we voted and hopefully in the…
Meh. He chose to run for president. Whatever. Fascists getting booed doesn’t feel too bad to me.
Christ, it must be just fucking miserable to be you. Bless your heart.
