Get off your high horse and stop underestimating us HamNo. When the time comes that we can’t take any more, the people will rise up and make some dumbass memes.

It’s a strange thing to mourn someone you don’t know. Carrie’s death, like Robin Williams’, has really hit me. She was such a warm, whip smart, bad ass woman and she wasn’t here long enough. She seemed to have such a lovely relationship with her daughter, Billie and my heart breaks for her. I hope it’s some vague…
This is the most heartbreaking of all. I saw George in concert twice, the first time in 1987 in Honolulu when I was ten years old. The Faith album still stands as one of the greatest pop albums ever made. I know every song, every word. I saw him again in 2008, just about twenty years later, in DC. I cannot express how…
She has been my hero since the age of 14. Please don’t leave us now, Carrie.
Carrie Fisher is a phenomenal writer. I read Postcards from the Edge and Surrender the Pink and Delusions of Grandma as a teen and more than many things (and I read a lot of things), they made me feel a lot less alone. People have been such dickheads to her of late because she dared to age past 19 and yet she is still…
Carl Sagan likened nuclear proliferation to two enemies together in a gasoline-soaked room. One person has five matches, and the other has three.
This political trend right now that is propagating the notion that legislatures should have the final say over the academic work done at colleges and universities is absolutely, nightmare-inducingly chilling.
people need to learn to separate criticism of an entity from criticism of the individuals who make up that entity. Hating “Whiteness” as a structural inequity is way different from hating “You, White Person”. Same way I can say “organized religion is awful” and respect You, A Religious Person, exercising your shit.
Are these the same kind of dudes who cry about university ‘safe spaces’ and how we shouldnt filter out difficult conversations?
I used to work with a woman who had 2 cats. One day she made the argument that her raising cats was every bit as much of a commitment as me raising my daughter. I listened politely (since we’re friends) and then asked 2 questions:
Man, I love cats sooooo much. I can’t wait to see this. When I feel awful about the world these days, I think about how no matter what humans do, there will always be kittens. Cats are going to keep having babies even if we fuck up everything.
Welp. Here we go. Time to find out if our democracy is really as resistant to demagoguery as we all believed.
Nice. Now he can pat himself on the back with how he “compromised.” The Heartbeat Bill was merely a distraction.
Fuck off with this shit, please.
‘Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good’
but fuck they never say anything like “i couldn’t imagine what i’m going through and having to get up every day and go to a shit job and make rent at the same time.”
One of the worst things about treatment resistant depression is the insistence that “you just have to find the right med cocktail!” when you’re taking more pills than your 90-year-old grandmother, have side effects that make you even more depressed and that no doctor gives a shit about, your own therapist says she…
