thank christ we can all stop talking about firefly now

I live in Boston and I practice immigration law. I would say that racism in Boston is subtle, not as out in the open as in the south. We have the best hospitals and universities (humble brag) so there is an enormous international community for not being a very big city (Example: about 80% of the researchers at MGH are…

That’s some nonsense right there. Irish catholic Americans are some of the most racist people on earth. Maher, O’Reilly, Hannity, Combs, Bannon. Y’all did fine today, Boston, but let’s not start bragging just yet.

My job in Chicago takes me to many plants and factories and I see the quiet racism. There are too many places that do not have any POC employed. The northwest suburbs are the worst.

“except they only gave money for nursing or teaching degrees. In two thousand fucking two. No lady docs or profs allowed thankyou! Lawdy lawdy their brains would surely overheat!”

Have you tried being a white male? I hear that goes over well in interviews.

:( If it helps its because you aren’t some pickled, nasty old man willing to incite violence, hate crimes, and abject stupidity.

Because of the (propaganda group) Daughters of the Confederacy gifting them.

Cool cool cool, so racist shitlord Bannon, who absolutely doesn’t need the money, has a job after being unemployed for hours.

As a deaf person (and engineer) who grew up with strong public schools that provided sign-language interpreters for me, I really, really want to see Betsy DeVos gone next.

This is Lewandowski Pt. II and we’re all gonna lose.

Exactly. And also? Trump has a track record of still being in close contact with the people he’s fired. So his influence is really just moved to texts.

For real. I honestly don’t think kids owe their parents much, if anything. Why on earth would you bring a child into the world, and then vote AGAINST that child’s best interests, and still expect your child to accommodate you? Being the bigger person is great and all, but that doesn’t mean you have to sit there and…

I’ve always been REAL suspicious that anyone who tells you you’ve gotta look past stuff like this is secretly harboring some toxic shit of their own and wants the reassurance you’d look past that too.

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

Hey, it’s a proven scientific anecdote that if you give a poor working person more money they won’t spend it, they will just horde it or use it to invest in bitcoin. That’s the problem with poor people. They save all their money instead of giving it to rich people.

That is so true. Much though I love body positivity (because shame sucks), sometimes I just don’t feel terribly positive about my body, and I want that to be okay too. It’s bullshit to not love yourself, and then feel like you’re doing it wrong for not loving yourself enough.

Preach. I can barely be bothered to pull my hair (on my head) back for work. Shaving? Waxing? Tweezing? I have better things to do.

Every time, every time I try to Nair downstairs, the hair kind of... falls off just above the skin. The stubble is always still there. Is that what’s supposed to happen? I get the impression that the whole hair is supposed to come out, like the Nair is widening the follicle or something.

Is this where I confess I accidentally knicked myself good last week? In my defense, I just had bottom surgery and my new 2017 model testicles didn’t come with an owners manual. I’ve only had them for three months. My Husband thought this was hilarious. No serious damage was done.
