I don’t mind when Americans/Australians/Brits etc. attempt my Canadian accent or do a really broad hoser accent but that’s probably because Canadians are generally just happy when people pay attention to us.

Dual US/UK citizen here. Not a day goes by that I’m not forced to hear some asshole mocking my (southern US) or my family’s (London) way of speaking.

> I find guys who claim they are drawn to my independence, my dedication to creative work, etc only to find they get pissy and irritable when I don’t stop doing those things after we’ve coupled up.

British accents - form your words in the middle of your mouth. Americans form them right at the front.

Women voted for Clinton, but White Women did not. Clinton only got 54% of the female vote because black and latina women almost didn’t vote for Trump at all. This is a national issue. I know lots of white women who voted for Trump and they live in Seattle and in California for fucks sake. This is not just a bible belt…

This is why I’m single. I find guys who claim they are drawn to my independence, my dedication to creative work, etc only to find they get pissy and irritable when I don’t stop doing those things after we’ve coupled up. Sorry dearest, but I’ve known music, dance and art longer than I’ve known you. Those things aren’t…

I’m pretty sure the white woman GOP voters in my family (Alabamans) vote 100% only based on abortion. They will never vote for someone who admits to being pro-choice. For real. That and they are stealth racists who don’t care about equality. It’s like beating your head against a wall to convince them anything other…

So, who’s going to appoint them?

Revenge is a dish best served via neatly filed paperwork.

“My dad gave me a pink gun so, there’s a lot there.”

So, you read the Wikipedia article, good for you. It’s not based on the lettering in those comics, it’s an early 90's take on hand-lettering in comics in general. The designer just happened to have those two comics handy when he was coming up with it. It gets some of the informality correct, but lacks any…

And I’m still in the greys?

I think it’s highly optimistic to think this is going anywhere. As a former defense attorney, convincing a jury that the tweet was puffery doesn’t seem like a very high bar. Trump is trying to make himself look good for firing Flynn. Trump always lies when he’s trying to make himself look good. This is something every…

He is also on tape bragging about sexual assault, and he was never held accountable for that either. It is becoming rapidly clear there is literally nothing Trump will do that will cause Republican lawmakers, let alone his rabid base, to abandon him. The Republicans sold their souls by keeping Trump around; they’ve…

The weirdest thing about Morning Joe to me is now obsessed all New Yorkers are with it, and how little it matters anywhere else. Everyone in NY talks about how they start their day with it, but literally not a single person in LA watches it at all, and I’ve never heard anyone not from NY reference it in any way.

That woman’s not going to marry him. She’s already got the chin down gazing into the distance WTF look on her face I didn’t develop till Year 3. She still has time to get out.

Thank you for writing this. Some of the most on point and hardworking environmentalists in this country are Brown/Black citizens who in live in rural areas.

Anti-rural notions like this are, for the record, incredibly racist and misinformed. Most of the progressive and “blue” movements in this country started in rural communities. Civil rights, labor unions, environmental activism, and so forth originated in the kinds of places urban folks love to deride. And they’re…

Well, it’s “secede,” not “succeed,” and the big cities (Houston, Austin, etc.) pretty consistently go blue, but sure, throw the baby out with the bathwater.

OMG THANK YOU
