Yeah, turns out all social structures perpetuate humanity. The beautiful and the terrible. Faith is what you make of it. Religion is how you wield it. I always try to make this point when people lump all of religion in with the religious right. Yeah, it can be oppressive. So can many secular institutions. But it can…

So true. That’s why I don’t think he’s cynical like others do. I think he really believes all the things he says and does. I think he’s just in the process of finding himself. With mental illness, it’s a hell of a journey. 

Well Said Crucifictorius2.0!!!

Look, I am 100% for people (re)discovering their faith. But when I listened to this album it really confirmed for me what I’ve suspected for a while now regarding Ye’s own “born again” path. It’s the path that people at their lowest find, and it fills them with so much euphoria that they just go headfirst in, not even…

BTW, can we talk about how the British press (tabloid and more) has made it a concerted effort to drive a wedge between Harry and his brother because Harry married a mixed-race divorcee from the States? How they are going to make his life a living hell for, you know, getting a life because it’s not the life that…

Try being gay and dating a girl who looks exactly like you.

could be worse. I was in my parents’ house, complaining to a close friend about my (then) recent ex-fiancee. Eventually, got to “what did I even see in her,” and I swear to you at that moment I turned at saw my parents’ framed wedding photo, showing what may as well have been my dad and my ex. It was a…

These are white women with hate in their heart joining up with white men with hate in their heart.

Never. Their father is a maelstrom of negative-charisma. They fake it. But they’ll never achieve what he has. They’re all third-rate, and they know it. Sometimes you can catch their eyes saying, “oh god, am I a piece of shit?”, and that’s because he’s cut them down for decades. Once he’s gone they’ll fall apart and be…

Doesn’t help that the common conception of “middle class” is too broad. And everybody making over, I dunno, like $150k in household income should see a net increase in taxes larger than what they receive in additional benefits, sorry. Time to take care of the poor.

Having a boring personal life is very underrated.

I’m from the south and literally almost everyone’s family has this story, almost always Cherokee. It’s so incredibly common, no one even thought anything of it until dna test started to become so widespread. In hindsight, yeah it’s cringeworthy and kind of dumb of us to believe these claims but hindsight is always…

It was my understanding that there was also a traditional Southern culture component to stories like these. I could be in error about this, as I am not Southern, but it was my understanding that among the ante-bellum aristocracy, it became de rigueur to describe themselves as descending in some way from an “Indian…

I know a lot of people like him (my mother included), but man am I gonna feel a bone-liquifying sense of relief/joy when Mayor Pete finally leaves the race. 

What was Jeremy Renner’s original deal? Because from day one he was branded a Bad Dude in my mind, but I can’t remember why.

Ronan Farrow has position, power, money, fame, and resources... and he still BARELY got the news of a verifiable monster out to the public.  It’s chilling to consider how many Weinsteins are out there who are not being chased by a journalist in a position to catch them.

The headline could be better. My first thought after reading it was that this transgender person was made fun of in Chappelle’s special and later killed themselves- not that her and Chappelle were friends...

Men should be more upset at behaviour like this. Every man who’s ever said #notallmen should be outraged when someone proves just how vile men are capable to be because it normalises gross behaviour and sets the bar for others to do the same. Plus, men only listen to other men

They cancelled another talk cause the school couldn’t guarantee her safety. These little Nazi paper skinned shits hate having white privilege pointed out so much, they’re willing to kill for it.
