I went to see George Takei speak a few years ago. Among the many amazing things he said that night, he stated his absolute certainty that the US would completely legalize marriage rights within two years. I thought he was being EXTREMELY optimistic...and he was completely right. I remember that whenever I feel like…

For what it’s worth, this white woman will be out there for any WOC that come to bat as much as she has been for Hillary. I can’t make our shitty country better by myself but I hope other white women consider it their obligation as much as I do.

I live in a swing state, and work in a library that is a voting precinct. I work hard to help people across party lines, because I believe that my job is to provide clear and accurate information to everyone who comes in the doors. But the sense of urgency I feel in giving women information about their right to vote…

I work at a public library in Florida that was an early voting location and is a precinct today. Today is actually a lot better than it was the first few days of early voting; I was informed earlier by a supervisor that 65% of our precinct turned out during early voting, which makes sense since we’re close to an…

Not a regular Deadspin reader; wandering through their decisions and seeing one of their writers talking in the comments about being in favor of a parliamentary system made me WTF LOL. I can’t see voting in America being at all improved by Americans voting for a party and trusting that party to then pick a responsible…

It’s really shitty that royal fever plays itself out like this. I’ve been known to romanticize princes and princesses from time to time, but any potential romanticization of the royal family dies off when I remember what they go through to have normal lives. Meghan Markle and Harry should have the right to develop…

Okay, good to have that confirmed. I wondered if this was the case with the mechanics described. As someone who has had bad experiences with sexually aggressive men, this shit would make me quit the game so fast.

EDIT cause everyone said what I said only yesterday nvm

Yeah, it super does. I think you’re right in your point that it’s out of character for her.

They already did that in Belle’s Enchanted Christmas:

Funnily enough, I felt like it didn’t look enough like the Cinderella dress. That dress is elaborate, suits high-definition video and looks very, very expensive. Belle’s dress looks like a modern wedding dress; I think with such a strong period style through the rest of this stuff they should’ve gone for a more period…

As a person born in 1991, I picked up Linda and Ron because of the Disney version...and good lord, is it good. I’m so goddamn mad that the reboot series is based more off Twilight than the series it’s meant to be.

Feeling that last paragraph. My body finally inched its way into being a large at most clothing outlets and whispering a small prayer that I’ll find a large, and it will be meant for curvy women and not just tall women, is becoming exhausting.

One time I was holding it in. Barely, but holding it in. My ex knew my trouble, and we were parked in a gravel lot for a thing, so he encouraged me to just pop a squat and get it over with. Then he made fun of me for pooping in public. >:(

So my mom’s family lives in the Florida Keys, and every year we’d drive down to Florida, visit some of our relatives, go to Disney (I didn’t realize how middle-upper-class we were then, God), then drive the rest of the way to the Keys. Some important things to know about driving the Keys: a) it’s about a 2 hour drive…

This was exactly what I thought. These things are all interrelated, really. Liberals are more concentrated in affluent middle-class communities where college education and world travel are more common—conservatism appeals to those who can’t or won’t move anywhere else, which includes the working class poor as well as…

Now I’m wondering if there’s a law in place for this—or rather, hoping there is and thinking one should be implemented if there isn’t one. Some sort of perma-restraining order against the convicted, or CPS being able to take the child away at least.

Trump more and more strikes me as a straight-up sociopath. He knows the words he’s meant to say (“Nobody respects women more than me!”) but seems literally incapable of understanding how his words and actions affect other people, especially when those other people aren’t white rich men. The fact that he can’t even…

Alternate perspective: I never had a problem with this, because I had a twin sister, so even though we never coslept with mom we were in each other’s space all the time. My sister actually flipped her shit the first time my mom made us sleep apart; I remember being relieved, because my sister liked to wake up in the…

I snatched them up and put them in my purse as fast as humanly possible.
