That is why I live in the Northeast, now. I miss sunshine, I miss palm trees, I do not miss Miami.

I grew up in Florida from an area that wasn’t great, but I remember going down to Miami Central for debate tournaments and thinking, man, I’m glad I don’t go here.

In that case it wouldn’t have even gotten to a hostage situation. As soon as they took fire they would have killed every single person they saw. In this case police were able to free at least 100 people (not counting those who escaped on their own).

I know that this isn’t the case here, but there has been debate within the trans community for as long as I’ve been involved with trans issues (14+ years) on whether or not we belong with the GLB. For me what it comes down to is that it’s a useful political coalition.

I’ve seen GLBTQQA (gay, lesbian, trans, queer, questioning, asexual). In some contexts I’ve seen GLBTQQASOFFA (significant others, friends, and family). It does get very long depending on which activist circles you hang out in.

Exactly, what is the point of this? There are myriad issues facing the country, how is forcing the candidates to grandstand on an issue where information is still coming in going to create any sort of productive conversation.

Personally, I enjoy being a boogeyman. I mean it’s super fun to hear all of the evil things politicians believe I get up too. It’s totally not exhausting to hear myself and people like me regularly referred to as rapist monsters in the press... If you haven’t tried it yet, I totally recommend it to you.

No, I wore them until it was a little inappropriate (ie I was 25 and it was 2006). After I was finally pursuaded to get rid of them *sniff* I transitioned into flair jeans. Basically, what I’m saying is I’m always about five plus years behind on fashion.

I’m going to hop out and see if I can find a floral pattern sundress to wear over some jeans. If I can find my blue tinted John Lennon sunglasses, we are back in business, baby.

You’re right, I need to check my truth privilege. Many Republicans live in truth deserts and don’t have access to the kinds of truth resources the rest of us do. I apologize for my thoughtlessness and lack of compassion.

I’m so confused. How does refuting an incorrect statement equal attacking the messenger? I’m pretty sure that saying “hey, the thing you said is factually incorrect.” is the exact opposite of attacking the messenger as it concerns itself only with the message. On the other hand, saying “typical liberal media trying…

Legit tho, most of the money PP gets is reimbursement for doctor’s appointments. Basically he’s saying that hard-working Americans don’t deserve to get paid for doing work just because of where they work. Why do you hate America and hard work Paul Ryan?

I think you’re right if they trade him while he’s winning but while Boston fans love Brady and will stab you if you speak ill of him, they also will boo him after one bad quarter and start to talk about retirement if he has two bad games in a row. Imagine if he has a bad year?

Seriously tho, “stealing the spotlight from other women in the Kardashian/Jenner family” is a weird argument to make as they’re not exactly hardcore feminist warriors we should all be listening too.

In all honesty, FSU fans have known this was coming for the last year-and-a-half. We’ve been getting away with winning and we all known it. I’m a grad, but I’m glad they lost. Jimbo Fisher is an unimaginative douche bag who has introduced an even shitter football culture to the school. 2013 was fun, though.

The game was a long boring toddler fight that no one really “won”. Good for GT, though.

Beyond messaging, if we don’t fight for women at the top and women at the top are making less than men at the top, then men, by default, remain at the top. How can women effect change if they can never accumulate money, power, and influence on par with a man’s? If we just say, “good enough ladies, now let’s focus on…

I think people in Boston are generally hyper aware when they’re on the roads because the situation is so crazy and I think the general metro area is pretty good about having bike lanes. That said, driving around this town, I’ve seen the way people veer into bike lines to go around traffic without looking, drive close…

Man, when I see a Hubway bike coming down the street, whether I’m a driver or a pedestrian, I watch everything they do because chances are they’re going to do something stupid and it’s going to be right in front of you. On the plus side, at least they all come with lights... which is better than I can say for 99% of…

When I lived in Florida I would only ride in the road on smaller streets. If I had to take a major road, I was on the sidewalk because I’m not ready to experience death and no one is on the sidewalk anyway. If you walk or ride a bike anywhere in Florida, people will assume it’s because you’ve had a DUI. 80% of the…
