I have been in a LDR for 3 years (although the LD part of our relationship is ending at the end of this year, hurrah!), and while it is much easier on us because it is a drive-able distance (~4.5 hours each way by car), the PTO and “splurging” parts are the toughest ones for me. Every time I take a trip to see family…

They also do a lot of nonpartisan education to get factual information about things like ballot initiatives out to voters (because god knows the “for” and “against” are not really the places to go to for good info on ballot initiatives).
Is that Oregon? I’ve always thought that’s a great model.
Ah, the “both parties are the same” argument. Yes, both parties are in bed with large corporations, but all politicians are (or will be, once they gain enough power- if they want to keep that power). Even the most idealistic Green Party motherfuckers would take big corporation money once they go to the top, because…
68% is great compared to the 30-something% of Kentuckians who voted yesterday (granted, odd-numbered election years have horrible turnout in the US, even worse than midterm elections that take place in non-presidental election years)!
I live in a state with a legislature that made the switch recently (basically it was a racist reaction to Obama’s election) but managed to hold onto a Dem governor for a few years after due to his popularity. No, he wasn’t progressive by any means, but he was able to expand Medicaid (desperately needed in such a poor…
Polls closing at 6pm sucks, but they also open at 6am, which is earlier than most states.
Lots of people will reply to this by saying that they do not vote (or spoil their votes) to protest our fucked up political system. I agree, the system is fucked. A two-party system will always lead to candidates who are too “moderate” (read: conservative) for my liking. But, I also don’t agree with refusing to vote…
I live in a state that expanded Medicaid and am about to move to a state that did not. This means that unless I make over $12K next year (which will be tough since I am going to be laid off on December 31st, and unemployment benefits suck in my state), I will receive NO subsidy at all through healthcare.gov. It…
I have heard the brothel myth from people in several different states. It’s usually untrue.
This is not just a Chi O thing. This is a most-sororities thing. Because sorority women must remain proper at all times, yaknow (same reason for a lot of houses being dry, while frat houses are disgusting beer-soaked dens of sin).
All this worry about hyphenation going on past the next generation is a bit overblown, IMO. You kid can decide what to do with a hyphenated name when they marry/have kids if they wish.
I just... don’t think that this is what gaslighting is. Drake’s version of this story isn’t going to make D.R.A.M question his sanity and belief in his version of events. He has a lot of people backing him up.
One time my sister was worried that she was about to lose a toenail and my dad (a marathoner with ~85 marathon medals hanging on a lamp in his house) was basically like “eh happens to me all the time you gotta toughen up.”
And we were just like “...all the time?!?!?!”
I really don’t think many people here were in danger of thinking “why do we care?” Yeah, he’s “just” an actor, but we are “just” the people whose bodies he wants to control.
I have only just heard of this congressman but now he is my fave.
Maybe the actress has a bald spot.
The Machine is made up of the “prestige” white fraternities and sororities, not just sororities. Machine student government president candidates almost always win, and the Governor of Alabama has frequently been associated with the Machine in some way. It sounds silly but it actually does have influence in Alabama.
They went on to discuss March’s SGA Presidential election, in which several Alpha Gams supported Elliot Spillers over Machine nominee Stevie Keller, and blamed that support for Mary Harmon Tyson losing the Machine nomination for Homecoming Queen to Phi Mu Katelyn Katsafanas.
