This is how Florida feels as well. Living in a left-leaning pocket of sanity allows you to forget that you live in a hell-hole south of the Mason-Dixon. Then, elections roll around, and the painful reminder shows up in the form of a clusterbomb legislature and Voldemort as the damn governor.

There are members of the LGBT community who don’t have the economic resources to just get up and move out of NC. It helps to have a powerful and local voice of support in their state.

I’m a reporter in NC who interviewed a handful of state legislators about their support / non support of HB2. Hearing several different people give the exact same (I mean literally the exact same) quotes about protecting families and cities (i.e. Charlotte) “overstepping their boundaries” really is a glimpse into how…

I think it’s hilarious that you are sad for an 84 year old white man, because his legacy is being tarnished, when the whole point is that women don’t get a legacy at all, and are essentially dead to the world even while they are alive.

Pouring one out for the pitiful old rich white guy still spouting misogyny.

Yup, there’s always some excuse so we can’t point out how shitty men are to women. Oh, but he is such a great sports player! Oh, but he writes so well! Oh, he is too young/old to know better!

I think I’m doing ok! But thanks!

Hi, my name’s Jonathan Franzen and I really don’t see what the uproar is all about.

When I first saw this cover I was awed. You can’t look at them and think negatively unless you’re an asshole. Not only are these women gorgeous, but they’re hella sexy too. Sexy can come in any size.

There should be a countdown whenever people start loving a female celebrity and putting her on a pedestal to the inevitable day they call her out for something maybe even beyond her control and tear her down. I'm so sick of this same cycle again and again.

I know some people are going to brush this away, but I cannot tell you how harmful these ads are, how pervasive and how damaging. Being Afro-Brazilian on one side & Indian on the other, I see this shit in both my cultures, and with a lot of my female friend and family circle and I still, at 45 years old, I still can’t…

That’s totally the CIS gendered mindset though. Many trans people, especially if they’re early or mid-transition don’t think get in, get out. They think “Should I even go in? How badly do I have to? Can it wait? How many people are in there? Is somebody going to “know” and yell at me, or even assault me?” What seems…

There’s a pretty long history of transphobia amongst gay cis people, much in the same way there’s a long history of transphobia amongst certain feminists... that’s really all there is to it. We’re basically the eternal punching bag for other marginalized people to vent their own demons.

I don’t even have an Instagram and I think the “popular posts first!” change is bullshit. It’s for them to get more ads on your feed. Absolutely fucking no one wants anything but reverse chronological. It’s the only way social media makes sense.

Well, how would I be entitled? Are you insinuating because I happen to know the number 5000 is less than 35,000 an entitled thing?

Once again, for the record.

Um, he’s running as a democrat, you utter moron. If he doesn’t want to do that, why did he? Are you saying he “used” the democratic party and played them falsely to get out there more prominently? Because that would mean he’s a dishonest creep.

NO, it doesn’t. It is for the down-ticket races primarily. It’s part of a fund to help other candidates called the Hillary Victory Fund. She gets a very small portion, but the rest goes to down ticket candidates. This is not hard to find out about.

Straight from the website: “The first $2,700/$5,000 from an…

You do realize that this money is for down the ballot. She’s raising for the other candidates down ballot. How much has Bernie raised down ballot?
