We had a serious discussion about moving to a different state because of the direction Ohio is heading in over the holidays. We love our town, our jobs, and our closest friends are here, but living in a blue county doesn’t mean anything when you have no representation at a state level. The election showed that we’re…

I just got home from my last hospital shift of the year.

I’ve had so much anxiety built up over the election, and then I find out that my dad has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the follow up appointment to find if it’s in other parts of the body and determine a course of action is the DAY AFTER THE ELECTION! I’d always planned on taking that day off, but it was…

Phone banking this afternoon and tomorrow morning. I hate phone banking, but it needs to be done. There is a lot more at stake than just the presidential election. I just can't wait for this to be over. 

I have been reminding myself that the worst-case, nightmare scenarios in any situation almost never come to pass. I am expecting this to turn out to be a Y2K thing in which Biden easily wins 350+ with too many states in his column for Trump to challenge effectively. If you assume the polls are reasonably accurate, or…

I’m so stressed I’m actually using my Hitachi Magic Wand on my shoulders

I love this movie so much!! I have not only bought the movie in all of its forms, read the book and the sequel/prequel” (which as an FYI the book, while having the same theme, is very different from the movie), I’ve also made a list similar to Sally’s, wanted to try Margarita’s way before I was allowed (I had 6 years…

God, the things I would give to never have to hear about a Trump again. -cries-

I really, really, hate how this avaricious and corrupt family has permeated every single day of my existence for the last four years. I can’t wait until they’re so much background noise, like Alex Jones or Rush Limbaugh. 

Goddamit somone really needed to nail his ass to the wall...this soft soaping is getting monotonous and all he does is parrot. Get up front of the horseshit and tell him the answers he’s been shitting out ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

As made clear on multiple posts, you do not give an ounce of credibility to a single bullshit right winger conspiracy theorist who all of a sudden in the year 2020 has woken up to the systemic forms of abuse against children. This is because they do not actually give a single flying fuck about abused children and are…

Have a similar story from when I lived in Boston back in the 1980s. I’d had a fun evening with friends at a comedy club on Comm Ave, lots of laughs and lots of drinks. Time to go home and I’m thinking it’s no problem walking 5-6 blocks home by myself at 1am. Comm Ave takes a left as it goes towards Allston and there i…

And it’s that line of thinking that’s dangerous. One day your enemy’s enemy looks up and realizes that they now hate you more. Or realize that you and them being equal makes them less powerful in relation. Intersectionality has literally always brought out this dynamic between white women and WOC or POC writ large.

Limbaugh is sort of the ur-incel, right? He is just that angry that women aren’t obligated to act they want to have sex with him anymore. But the frustrating and scary part is that you can’t dismiss him as pathetic, because he has this following that sops up his misogynistic vitriol on a daily basis, including people…

I was going to say, she accuses progressives of being lazy but also admits that the millennial (and gen-z) generations are in an uncomfortable, very grey area of forging identities, and it’s so much easier just to embrace a ‘traditional’ way of life...which sounds incredibly lazy?

I once went to college with a girl who came from a conservative background. While in college, she dated almost exclusively black men, engaged in threesomes and lesbian sex, and took drugs.

Yep. They know it’s a slur. They know it offends people, people who don’t really have the numbers or resources to defend themselves.

Yeah, Deadspin was on point with this years ago before it got guillotined. Any story about the Washington DC football team should read Washington DC football team not Washington slurs.

Also? She’s not terrible. Big Cat Rescue is a legitimate organization that frees cats from the roadside petting zoos of Tiger King shitheels, and lets them live out their lives in peace and comfort. The producers wildly mischaracterized her (which is super-easy to do, via editing).
