I saw a distant in-law over Christmas who was in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. It was a big group and someone had never met him before, but knew that he was old, white, a veteran, Catholic, and had owned his own business. To try to ingratiate herself she said something mildly positive about Trump, figuring he’d like that.…

I’m in your same boat. Danny went so sideways, then we had to believe Jodie (sp?) was a reasonable option?? They’re just misogynists from different regions. No thanks.

I know it’s said almost every time, but it bares repeating. HR is not there to defend you, it’s there to defend the company. If you have grounds to do so like Susan did, catalog evidence and take it to a lawyer.

I saw the Dixie Chicks in concert this summer and during Goodbye Earl the background video was rapid fire images of headlines and pictures of famous abusers. I think the men in the crowd were noting the location of the nearest exit in case of a riot.

Reading that was cathartic and I empathize with the daughter. I was abused as a kid and I’m currently trying to negotiate and grapple with both loving my parents and being angry with them. They pretty much refuse to acknowledge the damage and hurt they inflicted and just deflect and guilt trip. It is not helpful when…

Good for them, babies are great. That photo, though....that’s pretty fucking awkward.

I have always had a low-grade dislike of Casey Affleck that has blossomed into a deep anger. I so agree with Constance Wu, he demonstrates how being a white man who assaults women won’t hurt your career.

What is it with the Afflecks? Why do people keep making them happen? I blame Matt Damon and Kevin Smith.

Constance Wu is a badass. Doing the thing your conscience tells you is right even if it could hurt you (career-wise, in this case) is honorable and beautiful and I am really impressed by her speaking up. I also agree with her re: Casey Affleck. What a turd.

It might help to remember that the majority of white American men have not voted for a Democrat since LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act into law in 1964. That’s what we’re dealing with.

On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…

Maybe that’s because when you’re drunk, you’re really controlling a giant monster somewhere in the Amazon rainforest, and the only reason we haven’t seen the movie yet is because there’s no TV or internet.

I love Anne Hathaway. That is all.

I’ll never understand the hate for Hathaway. She’s so wonderful in every film I’ve seen of her.

Rachel, you posted THE gif. Not anything to add except you the woman!

Oh, my dear lovely Rnadi. I am now also crying, because... you opened a parentheses in the first paragraph and didn’t close it. These are the things that make me weep ;) xx

Most embarrassing time I burst into tears: that one time I had a breakdown at the top of the leaning tower of Pisa, and instead of being helpful my family decided to laugh take pictures of me with the highly uncomfortable tour guide.

Wow, she seems like a damn piece of work. I hope a turtle bit her nose.

While watching the reports of the carnage developing in Paris tonight, the tears, they would not stop. My haircut was also not good, but I rose above that.
