A word of caution- turns out drinking oneself to death always takes longer than you’d hope. My POS sperm donor has defied even my most generous estimates on expectancy. Even if Bannon’s gonna go all out, locking himself in the Lincoln bedroom with an army’s worth of stolichnaya, it’ll take about six months for the…

1. I don’t believe that you have sufficient cash and investments on hand to cover the total cost I’m talking about, which is a very common scenario pre-ACA, which is roughly equivalent to paying for a nice house in cash. You do realize that out of pocket maximums don’t fully limit what you can be charged out of…

The problem is that getting adequate healthcare in the US is not at all the same thing as saving up to buy a new car.

I don’t think this post is helping your point.

A little OT but here’s yet more evidence that FLOTUS is living in a hell of her own making. I’m also seriously beginning to think he’s physically abusing her.

I’m not sure I’m getting you. I don’t think that we’re going to have a huge problem with high-earning women “saying ‘fuck it’ and leaning back/opting out.”

But it was so heroic how he sacrificed his life to save Frederick Douglass. If Obama hadn’t saved him, Douglass wouldn’t have been able to do all that amazing work and finally get all that recognition.

Yasssssssssssss!

I, too, am going with a cat theme. This is my poster. I’ll look for you! Safe travels!!!

Based on a representative sample of “people I personally know,” DC residents not only have the day off but got the hell out of town.

Stick it to the mirror after use. That’ll show them who’s the boss.

Mine is 9. I taught her self defence last year because she is so gentle and pleasant that I cannot stand the thought of someone hurting her and her not knowing how to defend herself. Every now and then I shout “WHOSE BODY?” and she shouts “MY BODY”. There are really simple moves you can teach her: chin thrust, fingers…

Good for you. But many women would be miserable without their careers, not to mention the vulnerability of becoming financially dependent on your spouse - he leaves you and you’re fucked and your career will never recover from the years you stopped working. And most children do just fine with childcare and working…

Like, Tilda just randomly reached out to Margaret — a person she straight up says she’s never met — and initiated a conversation about racism in hollywood when Margaret never asked for it. “Hi we’ve never met. Can you teach me all about the racism your people face and while you’re at it couldja reassure me that I’m…

a rich white woman asked an asian woman she isn’t close to to explain how something is racist to her and how to solve the problem. if you don’t see the issue with that, I don’t know what to tell you. you have all the power of the internet to figure out why that is a really ignorant and shitty thing for someone to do,…

How is it not? She’s called on Cho to basically pick her Asian brains on diversity and racism. That’s intellectual labor and it’s a kind that people of color do for white people all of the time. I have had so many white friends come to me with these exact kind of questions, but at least they were friends. I can only…

She is also falling into the old habit of saying “I want to have a conversation” when what she means to say is “I want you to tell me that what I am doing is okay.”

Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

My three sons are basically three years apart (oldest just turned 12, middle turns...my God, he’s going to be NINE in a week and a half. HOW?), and they’re best friends and mortal enemies in turn. But mainly best friends, and I don’t see that changing.

My costume was pretty meta. SF Giants pitcher Johnny Cueto + Kuato from Total Recall= Johnny Kuato.
