My students told me today that about 700,000 voted for Hennesey whisky and some hundred thousands for Harambe. I dared not Google it because I am afraid to find out if it’s true. I don’t think I can take it if yes. Normally I would dismiss this as outrageous rumor, but now, anything is possible, really.  

Well, inbreeding does that to people. Few women are certifiably white or white enough for them except for their mothers and sisters. Maybe cousins too....

“And as I watched him on the stage,

No, I am not. I am so depressed and devastated that I just went off track. In my country, there is a saying” making fun of tough times.” It doesn’t even come close to what I am feeling. My “fun” is too heart-breakingly sad to stand up to the “tough times.” Believe me, I am just trying to find out ways to cope with it.

Zombie apocalypse?

I am going to puke tonight. For one reason or another. Jezzies, I am beyond terrified. I should have watched the worst horror movies on Halloween, just to get used to the feeling. And I am not even a US citizen. The implications of a Trump victory are beyond severe, not just for the US, for the entire world. I guess I…

To be perfectly honest, it’s more wishful thinking on my behalf than any rational conclusion I have come to. Here and in another article, I made comments expressing more how I wish the situation were, not how it probably is in reality. I just want one such case to come out and actually stick, because I believe that…

Hey, my point was your last paragraph. So chill out, Minako :)

I know you didn’t mean to (I have seen you previous posts). But I hate it when things are inescapable. I am sacrificing a lot in my life in the hope that I am changing things. So I don’t take well to words like “inescapable/ unavoidable/ impossible.” I am the first to admit: I am an idealist. I hope I will be able to…

How in the world could he remember them if there were less than a 9, as he himself stated? No way a sexually harassed 6 would register in DT’s memory. He might sue (not sure about that), but he’ll lose. Once can only hope, at least.

I may be utterly and completely wrong -in which case I humbly apologize in advance - but what if the threats came not from DT, but from his posse of so-called advisors? He might - just might - have no idea who the woman is. Considering how many women he might - again, just might - have harassed/ assaulted/ raped -…

I am surprised that after the “grab them by the pussy” debacle there are still people doubting it. So, like in the Rolling Stones’ Jackie’s case, people would rather say “Well, rape accusations are all fake!” But here we have a man who admitted to engaging in sexual harassment at the very least. Yet this woman is…

See, again I agree with your last remarks.

Agree. I just want to scream: “we can do better!” Yet, with few exceptions, life proves we really cannot.

Hell, even by medieval European standards, that Brock dude would have been convicted of rape. MALE witnesses! You cannot get better than that.....Oh, sorry, she did not “make hue and cry.” Oh well, I take it back. By medieval European standards, he might have got away with a slap on the wrist. What a coincidence, 21st…

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I just hope karma will catch up with him sooner rather than later, since human law has failed you. His misery will not undo your suffering, but sometimes it is so cathartic to see horrible people suffer. I’m sorry, I am not the “forgive and forget” type. I hope his life is one…

Yes, we are :) May he choke on it.

I’ve been a huge fan, Eileen CC, but you know that is not quite right. And not a good comparison either: scenario no 1 - you are actively harming children; scenario no 2 - you, a child/ teenager, engage in something (illicit and sinful from the mom’s perspective), but not actively harming anyone. If the mom had…

Burts Bees UC is fine, but if you can get your hands on it, try calendula cream (the kind that looks like vaseline, but it’s not vaseline). I get mine from Europe. It’s really cheap (try Melkfett, it’s a huge container at about 3-4 euros). I swear by this thing: I sleep with a container on my night stand and use it…

Oh, sorry to hear that. I mean, I already knew about some of those things, especially about the way immigrants and asylum seekers are treated (detention centers, Manus Island), but I kept hoping things are changing for the better. I guess I have focused too much on the US (well, I live here, so it affects me…
