Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

Don’t worry guys! Someone set up a GoFundMe for Conway’s much needed exorcism:

I watched this last week and haven’t stopped giggling since. You know, I was a Bernie gal at the beginning, but ever since Hillary became the nominee, I’ve been 100% for her. The more she does stuff like this, the more she endears herself to the public. She’s hilarious, she’s smart, and she’s playing the game very,…

Oh — Emirjeta Xhelili? Of the Mayflower Xhelilis?

Meanwhile, I told my therapist what mansplaining was this week and he (an older white dude) thought it was perfect and couldn’t believe he hadn’t heard what it was yet!

And maybe the band, but that is IT.

There’s absolutely no call for comments like this. I edit my work—we all do—but the night moves quickly and sometimes there are slip-ups. Please use this space to engage kindly and thoughtfully.

I wrote “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum” under my desk before I left my last job. If you’re ever in the basement of the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville library, well, get out of there because it’s awful.

“This pairing is old. This pairing is old. It is ugly trousers rolled.”

Women in control of their shit are always going to be vilified. Young, old, it doesn’t seem to matter...men can use and abuse any number of women in rapid succession but seem to cry the loudest when the script is flipped.

Well it began several million years ago when Tilda emerged, fully formed, from the Great Ocean and stepped onto the muddy shores of East Pangea...

This dirt bag needs a brain bleach chaser:

I was having a debate in step with this the other night. My main point is that it’s troubling that Sanders is continuing a campaign supposedly to exercise the will of the people, but the people have spoken and they didn’t pick him. To continue on with this just shows he’s not really that different from every other old…

Oh, christ.

Counterpoint: there are a wide variety of learning disabilities, some of which would bear on this matter, others of which would not.

Thank you for this space. I just keep falling in love with you as a journalist more and more.

I love this place. I’ve been here for years and I intend to be here no matter what happens. This whole thing just makes me ill. I feel legitimately nauseous.

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! And I do hope some of Bernie’s influence holds through. I liked him, and quite a few of his stances, but Hill has been my badass for ages. I went through your feelings in ‘08. And then after a day or two I signed up to campaign for Obama. I don’t regret a thing.

I’m so, so ready for Madame President.

One of her best speeches of the campaign, IMO. I’m so, so ready for Madame President.
