I just finished binging The Americans (started it two weeks after the series ended) and holy shit, the acting is incredible. I am all for them winning. 

Has anyone watched Sinner? It just came out on Netflix and mannn it was crazy. I binged the whole thing in a couple days. Jessica Biel was surprisingly really good in it.  And I loves me some Bill Pullman. 

Matthew Rhys consistently blew my mind. Especially when I remind myself that he’s a Welsh guy playing a Russian who is playing an American who is playing all kinds of other Americans. So many levels! And he has said that we’re not getting his full attention since he has to have 50% of his mind focusing on his accent…

Good on you.

I think it wouldn’t be a bad idea to sit down with some trusted loved ones and, eventually, a lawyer, to draw up a plan for exactly this sort of thing. I’m sure there are also resources on the internet about what kinds of plans you can put in place.

That’s nice of you to say :) I will drink an extra vodka tonic for you at my next happy hour Loves

This makes me want to throat punch people with my withered, crone like hand. I realize that at 42 I have passed that “fuckable” age, but this is some bullshit. 

Jezebel is not shutting down!! We are extremely depressed about our colleagues leaving and it’s been a shitty AF week and so we’re in mourning for a little bit. But perhaps unfortunately for you guys, you’re stuck with the rest of us til the wheels fall off. :) <3 Let’s all stay strong together. 

He ran unopposed in the Republican primary. His racism wasn’t a secret.

Prior to Roe v Wade it wasn’t illegal nationwide anyway - you could get an abortion in abortion friendly states (granted that was 3 states but still). The worst the SCOTUS is revert that decision and let states make their own laws. Congress would need to make it a national thing and with that comes... wait for it... a…

Five?

I’ve daydreamed about quitting my job and going into some sort of advocacy work, but I think it might be time for it to become a reality. This country is about to get so much worse and we all have to do more to slow it down and maybe, possibly, by some slim chance, stop it. 

It’s simple.
They’re short sighted. The Tax cuts? “I got a bigger tax return!” The removal of the individual mandate? “I don’t have to pay for healthcare/taxes for healthcare.” This case “I get a bigger paycheck because I don’t have to pay the union!”

That’s what it comes down to.  Dribble the small, short term changes…

Between this and the Muslim Ban being upheld I’m on the verge of losing it. Fuck Mitch McConnell for stealing Obama’s last SCOTUS seat and fuck literally everyone who voted for the fascist in the Oval Office.

My mother took the latter approach. She read me the books when I was 5 or 6, and used the bigoted bits as teachable moments. A history lesson of sorts. “This is how people thought/felt circa 1870/1880. This is the history behind that. This is what happened because of their ignorance. This is why their beliefs were…

I think it is important to read and discuss the books with kids.  We shouldn’t sanitize history and pretend that everyone in America’s history was flawless and noble.  Kids should understand that people are complicated.  They should also understand that society can change and progress can be made.  You don’t have to…

All of the dresses are pretty basic, so it’s pretty odd that the fit is so off in the dresses.  The amount of puckering at the seams in the Make America Great Again dress is painful to look at.  

An aural assault. I’m having to take a day Xanax.

and last but not least

People who think their feelings are more important that providing healthcare to a person should not work in healthcare in any capacity.
