With graphics! Very cool. Thanks for the breakdown. I wish the Chicago Park District could do stuff like this to our playing fields along Lake Shore Drive.

It sucks that you’re apparently unable to care for multiple things simultaneously :/

you seem great!

ok...so what’s your point? that ke$ha’s legal battle is not on par with losing the presidency or seeing your legacy as president gutted? i mean, i think that goes without saying and no one is putting those two levels of “professional work” on the same table, but you’re certainly downplaying her personal pain and…

Repairing Grant Park after Lollapalooza ran the organizers about $453,000 after last year’s festival (and an additional day). There’s no way it should have been that expensive, unless they reseeded it, grass blade by grass blade.

They definitely cover up the Mall’s lawn like this several times every year. They have regular concerts, big and small, and a lot of other events.

What most people who don’t live here don’t know is that the Mall is used as sports fields nearly year round. It is quite majestic to kick a ball, catch a football or swing a bat and have the Capitol on one side of you and the Washington Monument on the other. The areas all around the base of the Washington Monument…

By virtue of voting for him, all Trump voters are, at the very least, definitely okay with racism. We need to hold those voters accountable for that.

There is some flawed idea that if we just tried to understand, we would magically agree and be on the same side. I pride myself in honestly trying to understand the other side. I work with republicans, I am friends with republicans. I engage with them and try to learn more. Some of it I agree with, some of it I don’t.…

Yeah, I agree. All those Trump voters telling everyone to fuck off really are to blame.

theres something inherently masturbatory about manipulating parts of your body with someone else in mind.

I don’t think it should. I’m just pointing out the flaws in my own behaviour with family and friends which perpetuate the problem.

I think women on child-bearing age will be wearing these.

This has to be so embarrassing to walk around in a shirt like that.

Embarrassing, that is, for friends and family who have to be seen with said white woman. Hell, Hillary Clinton would probably be embarrassed as well. Zero self awareness required to buy and wear that shirt.

Also, reading the greys about how this…

White women who want to broadcast their politics (in addition to actually taking action, ahem) could also just wear a t-shirt from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, Amnesty, SPLC, CAIR, BLM, NOW, NPR, DNC ... the possibilities are endless. Just anything at all besides almost literally #notallwhitewomen.

Oh God. White people need to take some sensitivity training before going to any African country. We could call it “How Not To Be An Asshole”.

Who would have thought Seth Meyers would emerge as the hard-hitting late-night personality?

I’m happy to have had, I think, a pleasant conversation about this with you! Too often we go straight for snark, and all of us have benefited from other people being gentle with us in the beginnings of our journeys. And god knows I’m far from done with mine and owe everything I *do* know to the teachings and readings…

Turn into the weird. Get matching t-shirts. (I really do this, if a situation is weirding me out I try to out-weird it and get my balance back).
