Just a reminder that there is no genuine track record of Satanist child abuse anywhere in the world.

Christianity’s record, however...

I know it’s not shocking, but it’s heartbreaking to hear someone talk about how their own mother chose whiteness over their children. And wanting to take you to a step-family’s Thanksgiving? Just gross.

Someone posted this elsewhere, which I thought was particularly apt here

Seriously. Forced sexual assault and mutilation, totally state-sanctioned because of the color of the women’s skin. I feel sick.

I’m interviewing him later today and will find out.

I am okay being distrusted by POCs due to my whiteness. I am also okay recognizing the myriad ways I benefit from whiteness and white supremacy. And that I will fuck up and show myself to not be trustworthy at some point, because that’s how whiteness works.

Well on Jezebel’s SNS there’s a thread about how The Root’s not conciliatory enough to whites in their coverage of what happened today so... there’s that. And if that’s how supposed White allies feel I’m not very hopeful that this will open many eyes.

A friend of a friend teaches at UVA and knows some of the counter-protesters surrounded in the photo. Most are 17-23 years old and UVA students, and they are brave as hell. They should be rewarded for standing up, and I hope to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that they are honored by the school. I also hope that the…

I’m a Southerner, born and bred, and these people are fucking appalling. The Confederates were not American soldiers and every last one of the leaders of the secessionist movement were traitors.

Nothing in this “dark” version will ever top the Hand Flex of Repressed Longing from ‘05 P&P. SORRY NOT SORRY.

Unpopular opinion; I actually love the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice because the actors were all the right age for once, the costumes and settings looked lived in and realisticly kept, it’s beautifully shot, the soundtrack is wonderful and they showed a shyer side of Darcy. I actually wish it was…

Saw this on the ‘gram last night and it killed. It also looks like lovely art!

I’m so sorry, I’ve never seen anything that made me feel so immediately old in my life. Except maybe walking around on campus (I work in a university medical plaza) and watching the ROTC herds go jogging by while I’m in my frumpy office sweater and sensible sneakers.

Well then, I’m posting my blue hair. Which I am referring to as TARDIS hair and people can suck it. #whovian fo lyfe

Perfect excuse to post my brand new purple hair

How did you NOT watch Clueless as a teen?

Men can fight their own battles, esp since it was men who set this shit up in the first place.

Women’s clothing is inherently different than men’s clothing. They make workplace dresses with no sleeves for women. I’ve worn them with no problem in Corporate America for years. I can’t think of a male equivalent. Even the most casual male business shirts have sleeves. They can’t just arbitrarily change the rules…

We shall “live in the past” until the past is fully and completely separated from the present.

Sarah Vowell actually is part Cherokee and has said it drives her nuts, to the point where if she mentions her heritage she can tell people assume she’s making it up/exaggerating in order to boost herself.
