Interjecting about kale: this is and was a yuuuuuuge staple in Portuguese peasant cooking, too. And then Gwyneth Paltrow was like “Kale will align your chakras and purify the vagina” and it became hipster food.

I think we did get stupider, but it wasn’t an accident. The GOP spent at least four decades cultivating anti-intellectualism, which meshed quite nicely with their other big products, racial resentment and a message—brought forth with especial skill by Reagan, who ruined everything: “government is the problem.”

So I could have happily gone to my grave not knowing one iota of information about this predatory scumbag. Now I need brain bleach and a brain scrub brush.

There is a subset of feminism that claims because trans women were not born women, they are not real women; this claim is rooted in the idea that trans women grew up with male privilege and cannot fully understand the disadvantages ciswomen face throughout their lives.

Speaking as a white woman, it’s embarrassing. Allies are going to fuck up sometimes but the worst thing we can do is lecture PoC on how they’re Doing It Wrong. SHUT UP AND LISTEN.

Dear White People: THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS.

Angry women make people nervous. Angry WoC, even more so.

I grew up with a politician as a dad. I’ve been a student of politics my whole life. What the Democratic Party is doing and has been doing to women of color in particular is enraging. For years the narrative has been that the white working class abandoned the Dems because “we” abandoned them.

At this point, the only way this asshole and every other Cheeto voters gets forgiven is if they are all of them, every last fucking one of them, stripped naked, their heads shaved, and forced to march the streets with all of us behind them, banging gongs and intoning, over and over again, “SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.”

And meanwhile, Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) is being treated for kidney cancer and she shows up and votes with compassion and conscience. But yeah, let’s keep showering praise on an undeserving old white man.

I’ll bet my right arm they don’t vaccinate their kids.

Mama Bear=overbearing, helicoptering, asshole mom.

The Democrats have been bringing knives to the gunfight for 40 fucking years, which is why the GOP dominates the entire political landscape even though the majority of the country disagrees with most of their policies.

I do not roll down my window for a cop if I’m pulled over until they show me a badge first. Of course, as a white woman, the risk to me doing this is relatively low, but I have made that my policy since getting pulled over at 19 years old, at night on Interstate 81, driving home alone from college. The cop screamed at…

Brock, Brett, Brad, Braeden (that spelling), Brant. Any one of those names fits this douchebag.

But not the balls! The ball, they are the Precious!

It just wouldn’t be a comments section about a rape story without victim blaming.

“60 Second Hair” is a lie. My 60 second hairdo involves a ponytail elastic and various configurations of a sloppy ponytail or bun—this is my go-to ‘do when I’m hitting the gym. If I want to look polished and pulled together I’m spending way more time on my hair. And yeah, at this point there is no excuse not to be…

Also, hangovers are way, WAY worse when you’re older. In college I could shove off a hangover by mid-afternoon and go out that same night and get drunk again. These days if I have a really bad hangover I can count on half the day being wasted on me trying not to puke, chugging water, and popping Advil. A 43 year old…

Well, shit. I followed this whole protocol and I’m definitely pretty shit-faced. I’m going to drink a ton of water now.
