*nervously raises hand* I just kind of hanker for the days when that was an option. I vote, I just sometimes wish I didn’t have to care because it’s all so depressing. I mean, this is childhood vs. adulthood. When you’re a child, it isn’t irresponsible to vote, it’s illegal to vote.

I have a bird phobia! This animal is the stuff of nightmares. NIGHTMARES.

Huh, OK. I guess I’ve only seen it used as an extremely offensive term.

Isn’t “wog” a derogatory term for someone who isn’t white? Or does it mean something else in Canada?

I saw the headline and thought, “Why is Jezebel reporting on this now? It happened a week ago . . . wait . . . that was in Missouri. This is another incident. Crap.” Is blatant antisemitism (and hate crimes against other minorities) going to be the new normal? I used to think that blatant prejudice was better…

If you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much!

Yup. Jefferson said that slavery was like holding a wolf by the ears—”we dare not hold on, and we dare not let go.” But I keep thinking: what if they HAD dared to let go?

If he didn’t see white as “standard” and every other ethnicity as “other,” then he wouldn’t think that Caucasian genes were so vulnerable. He’d see a kid with a mixture of conventionally white and black traits, instead of a…

I should have read farther before I commented—I just wrote that I’d like to be able to replace him with an image of a cheeto or pumpkin or something. Kittens would be nice, though!

I suddenly imagined a world in which every news organization used the same stock photo of a pumpkin or cheeto for 45's face. It would be glorious! Or, OR!!! You can change “Trump” to “Drumpf” in Chrome. Can you do the same thing with images?

Whoa. That is really stupid—I know my dad definitely taught us to bail out if our sled was headed towards a tree or other obstacle. Those things are hard to steer! A seatbelt sounds like a very bad idea.

So, LOL but also

I am SUCH a sucker for dimples.

Somebody get on the phone to SNL right now!

I said the same thing! But here, it seems like a good time to post Grumpy Cat:

Good.

My head says that violence isn’t the answer, but my heart says that if laughing at Nazis getting punched in the face is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. Sometimes the heart just wants what it wants, you know?

I literally put my hand in front of my mouth and did a high-pitched awwwww when I saw that picture.

Good idea, only I don’t have a bike helmet. I don’t do things that require a helmet.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
