Thank you for adding your voice! I’ve been trying to think up a response to this article, and I just keep coming around to “listen to Native voices.” We can’t get any further in grappling with our pioneer past without putting the perspective of Native Americans front and center.

Okay, but that’s some really lovely wool. Should make some excellent yarn—but leave it natural, please!
Joshua Tree is my happy-soul place. How anyone could destroy such a place of purity and beauty is beyond my comprehension. Like, do you even human?
Hi, do you know my family? The one I love is, “there’s not a racist bone it my body,” always immediately followed up by something totally racist. Yeah, just because you’re nice to black people to their faces and don’t run around burning crosses DOESN’T MEAN YOU’RE NOT RACIST. But apparently I’m a bleeding heart…
Yup!!! Was heading over to the comments just to say that I’m so, SO glad that Midweek Madness has been resurrected. You’re doing the Lord’s work here, Joan.
I’m gonna poach this joke.
Seconded. I’ve been doing a re-watch of Parks and Rec (happy brain time!) and he’s so charming and lovable as Andy. Beefcake action star Andy Dwyer is just not working for me.
Yeah, the Maddie/Bobby/Kara days were maybe a Silver Age? Still interesting and engaging, with some unique voices. I want to give this younger group a chance to grow and develop, but all the shallow snark and Twitter reporting just isn’t working. And you’re right--it isn’t just Jez, Internet content in general has…
Same. Been lurking around these parts for at least a decade, at this point mostly out of habit and a little out of (rapidly diminishing) hope that there’s another Lindy West, Irin Carmon, Erin Gloria Ryan, Jenna Sauers, Dodai Stewart, Kara Brown, or Mark Shrayber among these youngins. I really do wonder if anyone bothe…
Right? Giving the Queen shit for seeming old and out of touch at this point is so...yawn. Let us not also forget this is the same feisty 92-year old who committed legendary acts of shade against Drumpf with the clever use of BROOCHES. Show some damn respect.
Teen Titans Go! had a musical number featuring Micheal Bolton singing “An Upbeat Inspiration Song About Life” with Lisa Frank-inspired visuals. And really, that’s all I ever really want from a movie.
Yeah, I scrolled through to check on *which* song from Dirty Computer they were going to pick, only to see *none*?!?!?!
This...this is why I find Don Jr. to be the most tragic of the Trump spawn. At the end of the day, he’s a Mediocre White Man desperate for Dadddy’s approval who will never ever never get Daddy’s approval. He was set out from birth to be the reflection of a malignant narcissist, a fundamentally no-win scenario.
I’m watching the 48th--I really want to see Rohrabacher wipe out (yeah, I went there, I’m sorry).
I’m feeing some...I don’t know...election privilege (?) today. I live in a True Blue district in Southern California with very few high risk items on the ballot (No on Prop 6, people!) Some interesting local ~scandal~ in our local library district, but that’s about it. Sending out love and solidarity to everyone…
Mine too! I was there at 8:30 and the place was packed. This is in a solidly blue, suburban LA County district with few high-stakes items on the ballot. I’m cautiously optimistic.
After 2016, I’ve learned to take nothing for granted. Just glad I have a non-stop block of work meetings from 2-5 PM PST today, right when all the East Coast results will start coming in, to keep me distracted, Until then? Forget productivity.
Whisky. Neat. Done.
