“People don’t ask that question, but why was there the Civil War”

THIS. I called it “Frye Fest” for about an hour. I think it was when I tried to think of when/how/why Frye got into the festival business that I saw that it was “fire” spelled in an obnoxious way.

I keep reading “Frye” and thinking “I like your boots, but I’m not sure I want to hear your music line-up. Also: Ja Rule?”

“Nobody knew that creating a music festival could be so complicated.”

Not gonna lie, I was staring into rose petals of the dress like it was fucking 3D picture art. “Ok, I’m trying too hard. Jussssst relax my eyes and try to look at the picture as a whole and not just focussing on the petals. God damnit, what the fuck?! .....”

“Hey car - bring this thing back when it’s 18 years old please.”

Can we also point out, while we talk about this garbage representative, that Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon has proposed legislation to prevent ICE from detaining people at emergency service locations and courthouses, in an effort to stop ICE from scaring abused women from seeking treatment and restraining orders? Like…

as a trained allergist, you’d think he’d spend a little less time on the senate floor and a little more time trying to figure out why women’s reproductive rights make him so sick.

I love giving gifts and try to be appropriate about it but the no thank-you note is fucking shitty. My brother and SIL both have high-paying tech sector jobs and I still try to send them something for Christmas and birthdays-usually just a bottle of wine or candy or a gift certificate so it’s not causing clutter or…

I truly wish there was a way for every Trump voter, and just them alone, to get the negative repercussions of his presidency. Like, oh you voted for Trump, yeahhhhhhh so we’re going to need you to get off Obamacare. Maybe sell your iphone to cover your medical care? But those of you who voted for HRC, can stay.…

I think it’s a function of selfishness, ignorance and cognitive dissonance. There are few limits to the cruelty whites are willing to inflict on other whites, especially if they’re poor (see: ACHA/everything the GOP does). When white conservatives consume social services, break the law, or buy health insurance on…

The inability of privileged majorities to distinguish between their own hurt feelings and actual oppression will be the death of this country.

That’s the white pineapple ones for me. Even my 3 year old is trained to know if she is given gummi bears the white ones go to Mom.

Can we pool our money to set up a fake gay conversion camp for kids? We’ll be all churchy and then when the parents pull away, it’ll just be a regular fun camp for kids with shitty parents.

The coast guard literally hauls drowning people and endangered boaters out of the water every damn day. Their helicopter crews are the best, better than those of any other military branch there is. This is a goddamned disgrace.

Because the decorative wall is demonstrative, whereas the functional wall is something no one ever sees.

“Congrats Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. You played yourself.”

Jezebel has become very meaningful to me, so all my love and support to the writers striking. This is the only place I can stomach reading politics now, and the commenters here are gold. Life would be shit without the women writers of Jezebel. ❤🌸

I’m a counselor at an abortion clinic in Houston. I’ll be at work helping women access abortion care while they still are able to exercise that right!

At least we don’t even have to read the article to know Planned Parenthood is principled enough to respond “fuck off.”
