Oh, I totally agree. She, her team, and the DNC dropped the balls in so very many places. It was their election to lose, and they can take comfort in that popular vote win all they want - they fucked up the part that mattered. That’s “What Happened.”

I’m heavy now - thanks to my skinny white female doctor who for two years wouldn’t pull the thyroid panel because obviously I was just mainlining Twinkies or something - and while the weight is coming off slowly, it’s taking its time. But I finally have a waist indentation again, so I dug up some confidence to wear a s…

Clinton’s fundamental problem is that she is a truly terrible campaigner. I mean like incredibly, all-time awful.

I know. I didn’t have curves like this in my 20's, but I had more than your average stick figure, even when I was 130 lbs at 5'9". (Those were Cindy Crawford’s proportions.) While one of my roommates was jealous of the fact I actually had an ass to fill out my jeans, she was a lone voice in the wilderness. I mostly…

Wow - she’s just gorgeous, knows how to dress for her figure, and her clapback was awesome. She is head-to-toe #goals.

It’s gotten better!

May I join you?

I am not excusing TSA in the slightest - I hate it with a fiery passion. In the months after 9/11 when there were female suicide bombers in the Middle East, my Mediterrean-looking ass with a Sicilian/vaguely Arabic last name was “randomly” stopped on every...damn...flight I took. (The worst one resulted in a pat down…

Do you brew tea at home? I am a tea addict with many different blends. (Though not chai - it’s too cloyingly sweet for me.)

I cannot agree with your #2 and #3 points more strongly. I’m a white woman and I have only ever worked with one black female engineer. It’s simply not enough.

I wonder what they would have done had you started sobbing loudly???

I heard it before I saw it - I had been determinedly staring out the window because I just didn’t want to make any small-talk whatsoever and I was pretty much on the verge of tears. When I turned around, the people on the other side of the aisle were all holding newspapers or books up to their faces, and the line for…

Um, check out my post below...

There is a much longer version to this story, but I was once trapped in a last-row window seat by a 50-something German couple that - as soon as the flight attendants went down the aisle with the beverage cart - were going at each other like horny teenagers at a drive in. We’re talking hands down unbuttoned pants, his…

I was doing some Googling last night. I believe Brochu can be firmly categorized as “Special Snowflake: Creative Arts Division.”

I know it’s not a Governor’s race - we’ve got that next year - but we have had a lovely wrinkle to the mayoral race here in Saint Paul this year. There’s a bunch of candidates running, but there are 3 candidates that are seriously in the running - one is white (Pat Harris), one is black (Melvin Carter), one is Asian…

On the attention span part:

At this point, I’m starting to think that the goal is to push Trump to a point where he’ll resign, and/or to make his post-Presidential life unlivable. Because impeachment really is a long shot here.
