I remember reading an opinion piece from a mom who decided to give full custody of her kids to her ex and her thought process behind it. It was a really long time ago, and I remember feeling like it made a lot of sense and came from a good place, something like she felt like her job was too chaotic and she just knew…

My general rule of thumb is that you should spend at least a few months not dating to kind of find your balance and get a sense of who you are outside of the relationship. Two months is probably sufficient. It’s never worked out for me to start dating right away. I think on the flip side though, you can get so used to…

I can fully the victim here and want to avoid throwing thousands of other women under the bus here by starting a domino effect of resignations until the GOP puts an equally racist woman hating man in office. If someone can confirm appointments would override the succession order, I think we have a way out here, but…

So someone who understands these things better needs to confirm for me that an appointment overrides the succession order. If so, cool. If not, we need to really think hard about this. 

I read somewhere that med schools in VA stopped using yearbooks like a decade ago due to this reason specifically. I actually don’t think the AG was photographed, I think he just admitted he had been in blackface before (but let’s face it, there’s probably a photo out there). 

Okay, so I’m asking it. 

Thanks for the link. Maybe I was having technical difference trying to flip through it on twitter.

Finally. Thank you. 

yeah I’m okay with this.

Conspiracy theory: I wonder if he didn’t get into some massive argument with the studio or producers and wants the movie to tank, so he’s doing the only thing he knows will guarantee that, and throwing his career on the rails with it. 

I think the fact that he says he was looking for any black guy kind of says to me this was not about finding her rapist or doing right by his friend. It was about him, having processed her assault with his anger, needing to get that anger out.

The Good Morning America interview goes more into this, he talked to a priest, then therapists, about his rage issues and racist thoughts. He also talks about the violence he was growing up around in Northern Ireland. he doesn’t name it, but it came across to me as a realization of toxic masculinity, in addition to…

In the interview that I watched, he does talk quite a bit about what he did immediately after this period of 4-5 days to address his racism and anger (I don’t think he called it racism, but like that’s what it was, racism fueled by rage). According to him, he spent quite a bit of time working on this in therapy and…

Well, maybe don’t talk to your boss about it. Maybe go on reddit and ask for reading suggestions, or google “how to be less racist.” It’s my personal opinion that Liam Neeson did this because it was weighing on him, I doubt he ever needs to make another movie again, and I also doubt he thought this was going to get no…

I like this scenario. So special election would be held this coming November or the next one?

Okay so it’s just a one page statement. For some reason, I was expecting a little more at the end about her process of bringing this information forward, but that’s okay. Thanks! 

Of course they can. Unfortunately, we can’t simply bypass the system of succession that exists. So, right now, the next person to become governor of Northam and Fairfax resign is a republican. That’s it. There are no other options in this situation. I don’t know what else to say. This is a question for the next…

Is there a link with the entire statement? Or does the one shown on twitter cut off at an awkward point? I think I expected more of a conclusion.

I’d get this more if the follow up advice wasn’t “buy whole canned tomatoes instead.” It’s not particularly cheaper or healthier. I don’t see why it matters at all. 

I think the idea is that while individuals may question their doctor prescribing surgery, rarely are people unrelated to the individual in question, questioning the overall capability of doctors as a group of professionals to decide that surgery is necessary or not. We have a general level of trust that surgery is…
