They appreciate it. As someone who pays her bills through an ACLU salary, I thank you all deeply. The ACLU is very good people and they are going to be tireless the next 4 years.

A-welp. So much for the small shopping spree I had planned with (part of) my income tax refund. Hope the ACLU appreciates the donation!

This makes me SO PROUD to be a law student. It bums me out that I won’t be able to be an active part of fixing the fucked-up world that Trump is determined to create for another year and a half, but I am finding it to be really, really energizing.

I finished knitting my second blanket last week and gifted it to a friend. My daughter was not happy.

Oooo, CUTE! I want a mermaid blanket! Good work! :)

I don’t think that we should be using the appearance of trans people as an argument here. Sure, he passes so of course he’ll never be questioned when in the men’s room. But there are many trans people who don’t pass and still deserve to use the bathroom that they’re comfortable in.

Maybe that was her intention, but calling it black people food put the racist cherry on the top of that shit sundae.

“Remember the white dress I wore all through that film? George came up to me the first day of filming, took one look at the dress and said: ‘You can’t wear a bra under that dress.’

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

Except Tilda does a weird, insensible thing when she says, “I’m a Scottish woman of 55 who lives in the Highlands. There’s precious little projected on contemporary cinema screens that means a great deal to my life, if truth be told.”

That’s why I was so bummed in the primary when Bernie called Planned Parenthood “part of the establishment.” Not only did he disparage an organization that is a life-saver to many low income women and families, but he insinuated that “women’s issues” are not as important as whatever Bernie wanted.

“Accident”

You can help make it up to us by being a great, hands-on role model to your sons, nephews, and every other young man in your life. It wouldn’t hurt if you became a Big Brother or did other volunteer work with young men. And also, when you hear boys/young men/grown men saying anything inappropriate about women,…

you think rape doesn’t occur at Ivy League schools?

This proves that activism; especially by badass tribal members, women, queer folks, PoC, etc.; fucking works. This is amazing news and I’m elated. But: we can’t get complacent. We still have to keep fighting. Keep donating to conservation charities. Keep calling your representatives. Keep being loud. Keep up the good…

One star isn’t enough for Bernard Black.

but but...white working class people! we need to help them get their non-existent factory jobs back!

On the one hand, I do feel a smidge of pity for some of these people. On the other, fuck them. I’m a poor white person who needs change too, but I’m also neither a bigot nor a fucking idiot so I’m really over the “poor white people just wanted change!” narrative. It feels patronizing and infantalizing. The only people…
