Dude/lady, Warren is my “who I’d have a beer with” candidate. Pull up a barstool Elizabeth, let’s talk climate policy, science funding, and medicare for all.

White carpets are an abomination. So are cream/beige/whatever. It gets so gross so fast, even without kids and pets!

Starred for accuracy and an excuse to link to this still-fucking-relevant essay from 1970, The Politics of Housework.

Cosigned. Pton alum. It blew my MIND when I found out that half of all undergrads had to pay full tuition (which means coming from a rich family, since broke kids get comprehensive scholarships).

I feel that. I’ve got a neuro disorder, I just finished my PhD, and the only faculty members in my department that know about the former are my boss and a professor buddy. Before my thesis defense and graduation I didn’t want my thesis committee to fail me because they thought I was damaged or pass me out of pity. I…

Yeah, I just wore bands that were four inches too big until I was in my mid-20s.

That’s how I always interpreted it! I’m surprised more than 5% of Manhattan voters supported him.

Were we ever? I don’t think a candidate’s home city has ever voted against them like NYC voted against our current president:

I face a similar conundrum when visiting my parents in NY. I want to wear all black or mostly black because I’m a New Yorker in my heart. But they have a white and light-brown dog who I love to cuddle and who sheds like its his job. No dark clothes are safe.

I had to adjust to people driving at or under the speed limit when I moved from NY to Colorado. Turns out the cops here give out tickets at 5mph above the limit, not 15 or 20. It’s very bizarre.

I’m nearsighted and my vision isn’t that bad, but I still need to wear glasses to watch TV, see everyone clearly in meetings, or have a conversation at a big table. Plus if I don’t wear them my eyes hurt. Last time I got a new prescription I felt like my body had been shifted or zoomed out somehow while walking, but I…

Star for solidarity. I’m sorry you’re stuck with shitty collaborators. For me it’s mostly the frustration of bouncing between projects and having none of my experiments work.

A campaign version of The Producers, but with really annoying actors?

A-fucking-men. Fingers crossed!

Because we all fucking hate him.

Sorry if I’m preaching to the choir, but the Democrats in my state are trying to mobilize voters, and we need all hands on deck. Democrats in your state (if it’s not CO) are probably doing something similar, just ... sort of unimpressively so far. Help us register voters or make phone calls reminding people to vote.…

Are you ever tempted to flip and break his heart? Because sometimes I feel that way, and I like my dad/he didn’t totally suck. But there are days when I get really angry and want to tell him in great detail about being assaulted and how him being Catholic/trying to make me Catholic fucked me up.

I feel the same way - I’d rather be a little more broke but know that I’m living in a decent and kind society.

Hell yeah, agreed on the science writer front.

AMEN. Reminds me of this article: http://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/poor-millennials/
