Eeeew, I forgot about that. As a girl who dated a 35 year old at 17, I say damn them all. I thought I was all grown up and empowered, but I was a kid and it was not okay.

Yes, seriously.

Lot of people being really shittily dismissive of this. Everyone should take a look at the syllabus linked to get a better understanding of why you shouldn’t be acting like this is nothing. Saying “it’s just science” or “DNA doesn’t” lie ignores the fact that those parameters have been defined by people outside…

That first clapback response was really beautiful.  I couldn’t figure out where the Cheese story was going and then, there it was.

I guess I just feel like we’ve reached a point, especially in politics, where calls for “more transparency” become a stand-in for actually fixing the problem, especially in situations (like healthcare, or campaign finance) where we already know things are busted. I don’t need to know more about our healthcare system…

Wild how we always have enough money to buy some bombs and jets and arm our allies, but as soon as the notion of providing our people with health care or a greener planet comes up, we’re broke.

He’s had 30 years to do great things in the Senate, and has done almost nothing, has very few allies there, and in particular has built no bridges to POC colleagues or groups - he has for example never connected with the Congressional Black Caucus in all his time in DC

I’ve worked on campaigns for years. Sexual harassment happens all the time from outside influences (volunteers, union guys, party committee members), and it’s even worse when the misogyny is coming from inside the house.

Yeah. Never mind worrying that your child’s photos will be accidentally seen by some mysterious stranger with bad intentions, the predators you should be wary of are within your regular group of followers.

It is today. 

Best part: He pulls her towards him, then gets a bit too much fight so he tries to back off and let her go. BUT SHE DOESN’T LET HIM GET AWAY, AND KEEPS TRYING TO PULL HIM BACK TO HER!

Fucking heartbreaking.

Literally any other prospective Democratic nominee can beat him. They all won’t, but it’s not as if he has no weaknesses.

The only reason I got through the PTSD shit show of this year is weed. Sure ativan can get me through the panic attacks too, but it’ll knock me out the whole day if I take it. Pot knocks the voices down and takes the crippling physical response with it and I’m back to base in a half hour.

I wish George Carlin was still alive. I could actually kind of see him saying that one line - “you’re not interesting. You didn’t get shot.” - and spinning it into some good commentary about the media or human nature rather than that unfunny, cringey hack job Louis CK gave us.  Carlin was the master of shocking you…

I’m too sick for this idiot. Wake me when my pho gets here.

The biggest thing I took away from the Birdbox review was, how fucking hype I am for Game of Thrones to start back, for Dem Thrones vlogs and Root recaps. 

She left out the parts with the cocaine. 

Yes but there are dollars in Canada which is the country I was referring to in that sentence. Which should be obvious since there are no recognised Aboriginals in Britain. If your going to be a pedant at least be a smart one.

You know, I feel like The Punisher can be an entertaining character if done well. The 2004 movie with Thomas Jane and John Travolta is one of my favorite comic book movies. I feel the exact same way about the 2012 Karl Urban movie Dredd. Action-packed and a lot of fun. One of my favorite comic book movies.

Do I think…
