And Bernie Sanders won’t even touch our issues. Have you heard him say anything specific about k-12 education, or about getting corporate interests to butt out? I haven’t.

From Bristol Palin’s blog:

Once, on a winter break vacation, my family and I were in a Chinese restaurant (in Hawaii), and like, midway through our meal, realized it was December 25th. We Jew so hard we don’t even have to try.

Did you see him call in to weigh in on Samantha and Joe on After Paradise? That man is pure gold.

Greatest therapist of all time I'm sure.

Jorge is awesome! I love how he is sort of like their house mom and therapist!

Congress is an issue. People (even you who think ya’ll live in BLUEFOREVER districts need to show up and vote.) in every district should vote.

Hey, asshole, the U.S. is his fucking country! He’s Puerto-Rican, not Mexican. Why is he responsible for Mexico having good government any more than you are responsible for Greece or some other majority-white country having good government?

It’s lighthearted and amusing because if you actually focus on how shitty it is then you feel nothing but horrible about the whole experience.

I’m currently going through a divorce myself, and it would be awesome to watch something that lightens it up a little and provides a nice contrast to the months of sobbing. Laughter helps us realize that shit happens and it’s not the end of the world and it allows us to move on.

I did this recently with some old acquaintances who were talking about the Patrick Kane rape case. I was like, “Uh, if I single, near a hockey star like him, and the moment presented itself, I would have gone home with him. I wouldn’t have expected to get raped”. Someone I don’t really know that well, said, “But…

I always find it adorable when English speakers dig into Peanuts to find some darkness and critique of society. Mostly because being a Spanish speaker I grew up with this girl here:

‘“If you’re a committed lesbian and you are wearing trousers all your life, you won’t want to buy a Leger dress. Lesbians would want to be rather butch and leisurely,” Couderc said.’

Fuck the Tribune.

Whaaaaaaaat? Did this woman take a moment to read this before hitting publish? Has the newspaper done away with the idea of editors? This article is so problematic, on so many levels. Trivializing disasters, in which many lives were lost, by comparing them to political disagreements is despicable and hyperbolic. I…

It bums me the fuck out that when confronted with this sort of bigotry, the poor woman has to respond that she does, in fact, speak English. Like her speaking Spanish is only justified as long as she can also speak English. What’s wrong here is that some crazy bat thinks that what comes out of your mouth is any of her…

The topics are weirdly specific (Stories Of Taking Family Members Off Of Life Support??) but otherwise... this doesn’t sound like a terrible idea to me? I’ve had a hard time “breaking into” much of anything, and I’d be excited if I could get even one piece to an audience that size (said every amateur asshole blogger…

YA has plenty of higher level fiction. I don’t know what YA you’re reading.

I realize that you’re writing adult, but I just wanted to put this out there for anyone who reads your comment who is a children’s or YA author: we are actively looking for authors of color in the children’s book world. The We Need Diverse Books movement has taken a push for diversity in children’s books that’s been…
