I have been working really hard since the election and trying to make a difference. I’m staying informed, calling my representatives and getting involved in local politics. And I have unimaginable privilege in being able to “turn off’ politics for a day or two when I get overwhelmed. But this broke me. This week has…

I have an expansive and exhaustive theory of God (aka “Spirituality and Me: The kookoopoops Story”) that I have been honing for the better part of a decade. But when people are like, “are you religious?” it never feels like the right time to be like, “Here, ring this gong while I summarize quantum entanglement”

This is unrelated to the point-at-large, but I found myself getting stressed watching the clip, and then when she bit her lip at the end and looked around, I realized it’s EXACTLY how I feel when I try to speak up at work. I’m trying to get better at calling out racism and sexism in my life - especially since I live…

I think you’re on to something that there’s very little actual difference in that they both take on these like, non-traditionally feminine characteristics like ambition, or... eating burgers? I don’t know. But I think Anne has a vulnerability to her ambition that makes people uncomfortable, whereas JLaw has that,…

I remember reading an article around that time (actually, probably on Jezebel) that was about Anne, JLaw, and the enduring myth of the “cool girl.” I think Anne came across as very earnest, and she wore her wanting on her sleeve, if that makes sense?

I post this all the time everywhere and its what you just said but longer

what in the ever-loving shit dick fucking goddamn motherfucking CHRIST is this bullshit. *primal rage scream into the void*

re-reading my post, and again w/r/t the article I linked to, I’d like to clarify that I am STAUNCHLY pro-choice and PP, but it’s refreshing to hear somebody talk about being pro-LIFE and not just pro-birth.

I think the more I learn about Christianity, the more I’m baffled by Trump’s appeal. Jesus was a figure of radical kindness, who explicitly lifted up some of the poorest and most marginalized figures of his time. He praised those who had a heart for service, and built the church on their shoulders. Christ had no ego…

You’ve touched on one of the hinky things about the situation to me (Not the allegations themselves - I’m still working my way through all the gut reactions on that one), but hasn’t Trump wholesale dismissed the allegations of rape and abuse against Rodger Ailes? Am I remembering that right, or have I projected that?

I came to say something similar. I mean, globally, across a wide range of issues, size and race are yokes of different weights, but I really relate to the idea of feeling desired, or even objectively desirable, once I left the states. I look back at emails I was sending at the time, and it was like this whole…
