I like what you’re saying, but you’ve got me confused on your intended timeline. Do you mean, Texas and California before the Americans settled in Texas and eventually waged war against the Mexican government and ended up with that big chunk of the West belonging to America? Or do you mean the Americas before there…

Nothing to add here, but reading a Margaret Atwood-related thread full of lit nerds arguing about whether 34 is too young for Serena Joy (ok, I am also on that side of the argument) made me ridiculously happy this morning.

Oh, carry on! I’ve had those bras. Burn them all!

WHY AM I SO TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW

*Fishes bra out of box and tries to drench it in diet coke*

Yes. Yes. No.

Romani people still exist, and they are still discriminated against regardless of the fact that the Nazis tried to wipe them out. I don’t think it’s going to hurt you to come up with a better way of saying someone ripped you off.

Of carefully arranged rainbow shoes!

Be kind to those of us stuck forever in The Land of Greyness! No one follows me. I follow myself. It’s enough.

I think at this point I’m prepared to give a cookie to every small-time male politician who doesn’t say the n-word or engage in massive corruption or send dick pics to a seventeen year old. Good job, just-your-run-of-the-mill-dickbag! Then I will set my hair on fire and run away because this presidential race has made…

Thank you. So let’s put to bed the shock of all the commenters who keep chiming in to say, “Why? Why would someone do this to her? I don’t understand!”

As a 1990s teenager, I proudly announced my refusal to fit in (really, I couldn’t afford to buy JNCOs) by writing Dylan Thomas poems all over the jeans I did have and my backpack. Needless to say, I was quite popular with my fellow teens of all genders.

Jessica! Loved your work in Idle Hands.

Weirdly, though he used the word rape to describe not rape and complained about the election being rigged (whoa, dude, I’d like to think the reason I didn’t get that job was that THE GAME IS RIGGED but really they just didn’t like me as much as the other candidate), it was weirdly refreshing to see a dude politician…

*aren't.

Huh. Except I’ve gotten a lot of shit (and not been hired) because people think that employees who take the bus are reliable. Nevermind if you’ve been taking public transportation your whole life and plan around potential bus delays.

I was in CA at the time so 2008 was glorious and devastating all at once. We elected our first black president, then turned around and passed Prop 8.

Yeah, except now when you correct them and say no I don’t like that do this instead they refuse to believe you. Because porn showed them what gets women off. If they even care.

Not saying that the guys I had sex with as a teenager and young woman were super into consent, but porn sure helped normalize some uncomfortable sex acts I was then pressured into doing. It also made it so that I constantly gave but never received oral sex (because going down on women doesn’t play well for the camera).
