I have no useful advice or insight (no kids, not for a lack of trying). But I’m just in awe of your self-awareness, which I really feel is half the battle. You are in touch with your feelings (which, as other people have been mentioned, may be elevated because of your hormones) and aware of the challenges you are…

Your post just reminded me that I don’t know how to replicate my decided-upon signature. It looks fucked up every time. *facedesk*

Had to dig out my login for this one, because oh boy do I have too many of these to contribute...

Not an authority on this, but in another write-up of this interview, I saw that she mentioned working hard to make sure her kids are part of the black community, not separate from it. So that may or may not have impacted her choice of schools for them.

Other American (women) politicians have been willing to speak up on Palestinian statehood. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib come to mind...If you can’t speak truth to power, what are you even doing?

Domestically, she’s great. She’s only my second choice because I prefer Bernie Sanders when it comes to changing the U.S.’ one-sided approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has only become more important under Trump. I’m Palestinian-American, so Warren’s comments during the (most recent) war on Gaza are a…

I know I shouldn’t still enjoy this show, but damn it, I do. The other day I watched an episode from the original series and I was SHOOK by how much these people have changed and (dare I say it) grown over the years. I used to watch it just to mock them, and now I actually feel like they’ve grown into an interesting…

Yeah, that really threw me as well. The phrasing “trans female” makes me think he might have actually MEANT trans men. 

Thank you. I tried to post this yesterday, but Kinja wouldn’t let me. She sent her a literal olive branch... And yes, I am also embarrassed to know this ;)

Hassan Minhaj did a very informative Patriot Act episode on the uprising and subsequent crackdown, for those who want to learn more.

One of Crazy Ex-Girfriend’s best:

Haven’t seen Season 2 of Good Girls yet, but Season 1 was basically a gender-flipped, slightly goofier Breaking Bad. It was fun, but it didn’t break the mold or anything.

I found that video charming as hell. Your post was a bit exhausting, though.

My husband does this. Besides suits for work, his entire wardrobe is comprised of basics from Uniqlo and practically no one notices because he is a man. So hats off to Nicole for rejecting the women’s fashion status quo. Must make life a lot simpler.

I thought the first season was perfectly wrapped up. But I’m definitely watching season two.

No, I disagree with a lot of people (including Chelsea Clinton, probably). But Steve King is a Nazi white supremacist fuck, and Republicans have proven to be totally fine with that.

Remus and Tonks getting paired off was, to me, the most bizarre choice of all. Like, there is no way that character was straight. He didn’t have to be gay — I would have also accepted asexual. But straight? Nah.

I’m a Muslim, Palestinian American, and I was very disappointed by Democrats’ incredibly racist knee-jerk reaction to Omar’s comments — you cannot convince me that her appearance and background did not impact their response, because Bernie has made similar points repeatedly. At the same time, the Republican party’s…

I read their response to the controversy on Buzzfeed BEFORE watching the video, and thought they made some valid points. But actually blaming her for the shooting, when American Nazis literally walk the street and are elected to office by Republicans, is a streeeetch.

I live in Jordan, and can confirm that Wadi Rum is amazing, especially at sunrise/sunset. Would also suggest a visit to Jerash... It doesn’t get the (completely warranted) press that Petra gets, but it’s a beautiful set of ruins that you can get close and personal with, without going too far out of your way from the…
