This. That glorious, rosy view of the past literally never existed. There was no wonderful time of peace and harmony where everyone all got along because they did what God (and his mouth-pieces on earth) told them to. People have always been ‘bad’ in the eyes of the religious right. There have always been beaters and…

“We used to have a country, a great country, that was built on the stable traditional family...”

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYONE SAW TED CRUZ!!!???

Did the mom at least give the new kid a chance? Maybe he was much better than her own kid! Upgrades!

I’m a rape victim*** and it took me years before I was comfortable talking about it with friends (let alone family—and I’ve only told my mother—after which we never spoke about it again).

Speaking as a survivor I want to say how empowering it can be to speak out. But it is also risky (this invites assholes to question or harass you) and it doesn’t come without sacrificing a part of your public identity; some people will always see you and think of you as a victim and not a complex individual with…

In real-world effect, the Green Party exists just to fuck up presidential elections. They then slink back into the shadows for the next three and a half years after the election.

I really want to take the Green Party seriously, but they make it so fucking hard. Like if they would run serious candidates in DC local elections I would vote for them. But they can’t seem to do that. And ny serious candidates I mean someone who wants to talk about something that is not foreign policy when running…

His story is so sad. Deacon needs to move to Oregon & make furniture.

Leo is actually so much better looking with Justin’s head.

Jho Low is not linked to J Lo according to Le-o, but Lilo says yolo while eating a ho ho and this is all a no no.

We have a 15-year old daughter and a 13-year old son, and I think it’s important that we all watch this together as a family. Boys need to get the message loud and effing clear, and girls, sadly, need to think about how to protect themselves from predators disguised as peers. The knowledge that these rapists take…

I am having a period drama weekend! Watched North and South yesterday (everybody: Richard Armitage is everything!!!!) and am now on the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice (forgive me that I’m only getting around doing so now, my first P&P was the 2005 version and I loved it tons).

Alternatively, D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E. The job market is bleak:(

How do you spell unpaid intern?

It’s amazing to me that anyone still puts up with the scam of unpaid internships. Too many people, from the interns themselves to the (for-profit) companies that employ them, don’t understand that unpaid internships are largely illegal under the DoL’s Fair Labor Standards Act. In order for an unpaid internship to be…

Yep, the guys were near the Olympic village so of course the Guards would have guns on them. I am just finding this all very ironic that Americans are complaining about guns being used. If this had happened in US with a Black Brazilian he would be dead.

I’ve always known Ryan was dumb. Like, properly stupid. But not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that he could bring about a full-blown international incident based solely on the sheer intergalactic power of his stupidity.

Why is there so much Anne Hathaway hate and so little Lea Michelle hate? Seems we got it backwards.

Look, everyone gains connections and assists through the people in their lives. Does anybody think JFK would have become president without Joe Kennedy? No. Does anybody think Reagan would have become president without being a movie star? No. It’s a ridiculous game. She was and is an Ivy League Lawyer who was always…
