I love so many of his songs but I was playing Anthem all day Wednesday to get me through. I have an ugly tattoo that I’ve been wanting to cover up and have been contemplating the cover art from The Future.

Just checking in to let you know that I’m still thinking about you and hope today is a little better for you and your son.

I think you mean LOOSER. ;-)

Oh jeez, you weren’t part of the Malheur National Refuge takeover, were you? I’m from the West too. I think we’d find more common ground on gun rights if you guys weren’t so all or nothing about every proposed regulation. I grew up around guns and still don’t believe people should be walking around Walmart openly…

Well, if our education system doesn’t improve, this is probably our future since nobody will be able to read.

How does that work, though? You compare Jezebel to Fox News. Here we champion inclusiveness and social progress. Fox News is a hate-stoking machine that mixes actual news and loaded commentary so seamlessly that its viewers no longer know the difference. How are we supposed to meet in the middle when the right HATES…

Yes, yes, I should’ve worded that to be clear I wasn’t directing it at you, just the people who say that in general. I appreciate your “fair enough” and your response. :-)

When Bush won, I wasn’t thrilled, especially considering how contentious the win was, but I didn’t protest and I was perfectly polite about it to my conservative family, who did not gloat in the slightest. Once he was in office, his actions were fair game for ridicule, as were Obama’s, but I never suggested that Bush…

“He’s black and we hate him” are not good reasons. Trump repeatedly questioned Obama’s legitimacy and gave rise to the birther movement. If you still think that makes me saying #notmypresident ironic, OK, fine. I accept my hypocrisy. But I do see a difference.

When people respond that I’m being “just like them,” I want them to show me evidence that Obama ran on a platform of sexism and bigotry and spittle-encrusted hatred. Prove to me that he was the least qualified man ever to run for president. Show me how the Democrats encouraged espionage to take down Obama’s opponents.…

See, the difference is I’m not questioning Trump’s legitimacy as president. He won it fair and square in our shitshow of an election process. I don’t literally believe he’s not the president like the Obama haters did. But he does not represent anything I stand for or any of the values that actually make America great.…

I posted a pic of the “Not My President” sign that’s in my window and a lot of people on here gave me shit about it. You can respect the law (yes, he is my president) while symbolically rejecting everything the man stands for (no, he will never be my president). Good for these kids. Once the dust is settled I hope…

In the future, they will definitely demand a full-color voting pamphlet with photos of candidates rather than descriptions of their experience. Then they can just order like it’s a Waffle House menu.

“How to Paint Dogs and Self-Portraits in Bathtubs.”

That didn’t work out well for Tommen.

Every gain gives me hope. Every seat we fill gets us that much closer to the bully pulpit.

Pretty soon everything in America will be Trump-branded. White House by Trump: Taking Back Our Country edition. God help us all.

Just the bullying I’ve experienced on Jezebel from trolls over the last couple of days has me worried. “Take our country back” has been a rallying cry against everybody who isn’t like them, and that includes “progressives.” These spittle-flecked hatemongers are now our overlords. And they’re fucking gleeful.

I’ll never forget that I’m one divorce away from being a woman who doesn’t make much and can’t get health insurance because of the cost and pre-existing conditions. Not that it’s a possibility at the moment, but it’s always going to to be at the back of my mind. And that informs all my political decisions. I guess the…

I’ve been desperately checking them on Twitter but they’re both saving it all for the shows. It’s catharsis time.
