Speaking of red flags, am I the only one wondering why she’s working 60 hours a week AND helping him with schoolwork, i.e. doing some of his full time job as well? Can’t a grad student do his own homework?

Wait... HeLa cells are not stem cells. They are cancer cells.

That book is simply phenomenal. I don’t even care that this lemon-sucking troglodyte is having a hissy fit about it. I’m just delighted to hear that it’s being taught in schools. It’s exactly what you want kids to be exposed to in formative years: ferocious, unflinching, compassionate and demanding of whip-smart…

God, this makes me sad for a whole number of reasons. Mostly the insistence of somehow equating scientific, accurate terms with sex or or sexiness sexuality.

“Never loan anybody your pickup truck.” is a lesson that needs to be burned into the brains of anyone who buys a pickup. Just by it’s nature, anybody who wants to use your truck is not asking for it because they need to transport a cardboard box filled with lace dollies. They’re going to beat that thing like a rented…

We need a mandatory high school class in workers rights in this country. Like the year that you’re eligible to work you attend a class where they talk about minimum wage, hourly pay and wage theft, sexual harassment, workplace injuries and your rights in regards to them, and all the other crap that can happen on the…

“When Michelle and I came into office....”

“I will not judge someone for how they heal what others broke” is such a beautiful sentiment and so beautifully phrased. As both a survivor and an ally to survivor, that’s something I’m going to remind myself and others of going forward. Thank you.

I will not judge someone for how they heal what others broke. She's not hurting anyone. I wish her well.

“If you want to, for your own-self-empowerment, take personal responsibility because you feel like you need to for something you did, that is one thing,” she adds. “But you don’t get to make that statement for everybody else.”

Hermione would NEVER buy a fitness clothing store. Especially not shitty Lululemon. I like this from the Harry Potter Wikia way better:

Uh, I’m pretty sure Miss Piggy is the absolute apotheosis of glamour and fabulousness, Bonjour, and you should probably ask The Divine Miss Pig for forgiveness for your outrageous slurs.

“I work at a pizza restaurant in New Haven...”

Lies. You work at a restaurant in central Connecticut that serves something that alleges itself to be pizza but is in fact a pale imitation of the dish by that name commonly available a hundred miles in either direction to the east or west.

“an unconscious vision that white people have—that their grandchildren might be a hated minority in their own country. I think that scares us...”

My great uncle was a llama rancher for most of his life; never married, just ALL LLAMAS, ALL THE TIME.

After being dead for 18 years, my father in law still has a stalker.

Oh hey, Charlie! Didn’t know you frequented these parts of the Internetz!

I’m not Christian, so maybe I just don’t get it. But to hear these people talk, it seems like their Christian morals are delicate little flowers. Can’t sell a wedding cake to a gay couple- my values will be at risk! Can’t read a book- my morals! I have pretty strong atheist values. But I’ve managed to live around lots…
