My great aunt was a Holocaust survivor and it motivated her to become deeply devoted to her U.S. synagogue, up until she died. So, naturally, the memorial service speakers (it took place at her synagogue) focused on those subjects, her contribution to the synagogue, etc.

Since I’m gay I obvi have little sympathy for her beliefs. Buuuut, I recognize 3 things: we can’t effectively thought-police people when they apply for a job, there are a lot of people in the South who think like this, and I can’t think of anything worse than dealing with someone on my wedding day who is fiercely and…

My uncle recently passed away in his early 50’s. Because of his long illness and resulting leg amputation, movement was an issue. But, he could move more freely in a swimming pool and thus loved being in and around the water.

I wanna drive down the highway
Without lookin both ways for creepy, creepy cops
I, I’m a little bit divided,
Wondring if there are some good ones, or if these dudes are the tops

I thought she took it to more interesting places than where the boring talk show host questions usually lead, so I was fine with it.

Yeah, and she owned that interview with Kimmel. I like that she just kept on telling her interesting stories while he was playing the stammering, creepy older uncle.

Lol now there's a statement I can get behind!

The End Of Days is nearing.

On the day that I first I got my period, my mom thought it would be a good idea to teach me about different... product options... on our weekly grocery shopping trip. This was unpleasant enough to begin with (“Mommmm... Please keep it down! People are laughing at you!” “No they’re not sweetie, it’s something every…

Straw poll: should I sing “All of Me” in a queer karaoke competition this week, or has the song become too overplayed at this point? And will the novelty of a woman singing resuscitate it?

I think I'm in love with this woman. Can someone please give her a reality show?

I think there are a bunch of ways it could still be racist, which you probably know but were maybe commenting flippantly? Starting from how the group was first perceived when they boarded the train, to how they were initially approached, to how the conflict escalated, to how the police were waiting for them, to the…

Even if that is the case, the relevant question is whether the book club women were treated differently from any other group of people who could have violated the unspoken behavior code of the wine train. I’m sure it’s not the first time the train has hosted a group who displeased another customer. The manager needs…

Even if it was supposed to be a tranquil environment, there were certainly accommodations the manager should have made that would have satisfied the group and the atmosphere the train is trying to maintain. I just feel like this smacks of bad conflict resolution skills to the extreme by the part of the other…

Anyone who doesn’t believe these women when they say it felt like racism has never experienced “othering” in public. YOU CAN TELL when someone is motivated by an -ism, versus when they are reasonably treating you as another human being.

When I was a barista, we had a douchecanoe that picky come in on the regular. He was a total perv and used to smugly request that I make his Overly Complicated Espresso Drink. One day he was particularly annoying us, so I made his drink decaf. My manager, a sociopathic Burning Man enthusiast, saw the whole thing and…

Yeah that sounds decent and polite :)

Wait... Why so expensive???? BCBG should only exist at my local outlet mall.

Horses need love, too. From warriors.

Glad they fired him. What a stunning display of a business doing the right thing. This curvy, non-leisurely lesbian is gonna go out and buy one of those dresses. Hopefully in a less garish color.
