Whether it had been overtly sexual or not, her father’s abusive patterns were most definitely targeted to gender. And that escalation - as ALL the embodiments of It - was about what she already felt in her gut was coming. It fed off their fears, FFS. The expectation was already there. And I can tell you from personal…

It has been my experience that the people who steadfastly cling to matters of etiquette while also steadfastly exercising deeply clueless selfishness to the point of denying rights to others are some of the worst people on the planet. My theory is they have no actual conscience to speak of, so they basically adhere to…

The way it has always read to me (and I read it first as a teenager) is that her decision is EXACTLY the kind of fucked up her father made her. He was obsessed with her sexuality as something that would take her away from him and she read it loud and clear, or as well as a kid that age could, and used it as her dad’s…

Despite being among the softest and least threatening of woodland creatures...

Mmm. Bemoan “criminals” and “crazies” having guns as the problem while failing to address how normalized (and hence not clinically diagnosable) supremacist thinking is, or how much some communities have been disproportionately criminalized, all while pandering to the cops because we all know how stable they are with…

Right? Even when we’re soaking in Kinjadrama, Ernie is always there for us.

I dunno - seems to me that Blue Lives’ whole schtick is that cops matter more than everybody else, and if they say that about the original BLM they’re mostly projecting.

Yerp. So much “you are everything I hate about me.”

We have a right to be wrong, yeah?

YAY! I think it’s part of their back to school stuff and I know the places around here rotate their stock like bugnuts, but it was there last week I swear.

I tried to explain to some coworkers when DJT got elected why their Facebook friends were breaking up with them - because basically they just gave hate a key to the White House - and they were all “oh, come on, he’s not that bad, that’s not why I voted for him, blah blah blah... it really hurts my feelings to be…

Nah. Just the ones who still walk around in a fever dream of privilege and yet still somehow got to be mad at the people they’re stomping on.

Yes, love, that video thing was impressively fucked up. And yes, I got your “/s”. We have far too often been just as full of shit as the “bad guys”.

As a white person who works with and lives around Trump humpers, this is a fair assessment. That historical entitlement and casual supremacist indoctrination is a bitch to let go of, and I see waaaaaay too many folks who won’t even admit it’s there in the first place. We’re a whole damned culture of addicts to special…

Conquistador syndrome, I’m thinking.

Go check Dollar General if you got one. ;)

Here, you can have this one too, in case the war against stupid needs to launch some gas attacks. :)

Wowwwwwww.

Yeah, ’cause we were totally AWESOME at humanity in WWII...

Perhaps a portmanteau involving their usual method of approaching new information?
