Counterpoint: Fresno

Let’s recommend cool CA cities for people to move to, since we don’t want any more bodies crowding LA and SF! My votes go to Sacramento (a very cool, very affordable place full of very smart people, though admittedly it gets hot there), Sonoma (this recommendation is mostly for my friends, since I would like a house…

Yaaas I love Jesus memes

My 6 yo black lab is very gray on her muzzle. She did SAR work and is “retired” due to an injury. But her “play” is still so intense I’m not sure it qualifies as play. I do believe she’d hunt for a lost ball until she collapsed. Her body is still lithe and strong, though.

My dachshund mix is going to be the death of me. When she isn’t stealing ball point pens and eating them on my bed, she’s trying to dig a hole in something. Right now she is breathing in my face. Good thing she’s cute.

I picked up a “foster” Sheltie the other day. Foster is in quotes, because he is so not going anywhere. He’s a “bi-blue” — meaning predominantly grey. And very, very serious. So, I made the joke that he was grey from stress, and the lady from rescue laughed and said he started out as a sable. Our quips were slightly…

It looks sooooooo bad though.

Yeah, it was still not okay to seek out an Asian person you don’t know to have the white person guilt convo, and that is really how it looks to me. She joked about it afterward, but the feelings of having to hear/witness/be asked to be in that conversation must have been maddening.

It’s not actually every POCs duty to be fully informed of every aspect of every debate/conversation/Twitterstorm/media appearance for their entire race, just in case some random white person wants to ask them about it. She said she was uninformed about the comics but knew a bit about the problem, and tried to help…

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

nope. Tidla’s emails were typical IM A NICE WHITE PERSON GIVE ME COOKIES, she literally checked off the bingo list. Maybe she shouldn’t have blasted her publicly, but I don’t blame her, mostly because like her in Trumps America I don’t really care about white peoples feelings anymore

My favorite is when people ask what my boyfriend thinks. Who cares they aren’t his fucking legs.

My cat hated our roomba. He would run away when it worked and hiss at it while it was docked. One day we came home and found a giant turd on said roomba. The cat won. We no longer have the roomba.

Church camp is where my husband felt his first boob. He also witnessed a blowjob. My children are NEVER going to church camp.

ME TOO. Have you read Shrill? It’s so great.

Counterpoint: American cheese makes the BEST grilled cheese, and you are wrong!

I have no strong feelings one way or the other about Hairspray, but I have to say that this overwrought (is there any other kind) theater-kid drama in the comments is giving me all kinds of life.

80s George Michael could get it.

Ha! This guy was on Untold Stories of the ER or whatever that’s called. It was awesome. Reenactment shows are apparently the step before lifetime biopics.
