I semi-stalked your discussions and read about your contact with the water. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope you’re okay. <3

You’re probably right. The only personal connection I have to MI is an old friend who moved from there to my neighbourhood, so I’m a dummy when it comes to the vernacular.

I see both sides on this one. Of course people should do the right thing. You should do what you’re supposed to do. You should fulfil your responsibilities, whatever they may be. You should be a decent human being.

YAS. I LOVE THIS. CELEBRATORY SLUMBER PARTY GIF.

I really hope people don’t stop talking about this over time. People have died and people’s lives have been irrevocably changed by this man-made disaster, and there is beyond reasonable doubt that Rick Snyder and the government is to blame. They should be charged, dragged through the mud, put on a stand, and forced to…

I think there’s already a pretty strong case proving their responsibility. Snyder’s Emergency-Manager Law is not only unconstitutional, but clearly ineffective. The EPA knew about the water months before informing the public. They continued to dismiss concerns about the water from experts and citizens. Flint’s water…

Shit, I just said basically the same thing in my comment right before I scrolled down to see yours. Take my star as my apology for unintentionally stealing your idea.

To me Chipotle is like the best friend you’ve had since high school who had her shit perfectly together, and then lost her way a little in college. I’m not going to abandon her in her time of need; I’m going to hold her hair back and make sure to take away her phone so she doesn’t text that fuckboy from her psych…

Probably a stupid question, but when are these officials going to have to at least pretend to face criminal charges and take responsibility for this shit show?

Thank you! You’re awesome. *proceeds to stalk your discussions*

I believe advocation is an aspect of appreciation.

I do! She clearly isn’t afraid to talk about it, seeing as she’s written a book on it. I haven’t read the thing of course, but the way she’s describing it indicates that the content will be positive. And she frequently talks about how she loves getting older. She seems genuinely invested in starting a larger…

I really love this. I love her attitude about health and body image and ageing. I love how she openly talks about her age and how much she appreciates getting older and how awesome it is. lovelovelove

I agree. And frankly, I have no qualms with the idea of this woman facing potential sentencing akin to what a murderer would.

I respect her determination and fearlessness in the face of so much hatred towards her. Being rejected by a group you strongly identify with and want to belong to is painful and difficult.

I’m so sorry that you had to endure that kind of turmoil at the hands of someone who is supposed to love and respect you, and the ignorance of people who are supposed to be aware and intervene when your wellbeing was compromised. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Okay, first: Kudos to the teacher who didn’t attribute the child’s exhaustion to laziness or disrespect. I know that should be a given, but many signs of abuse and neglect are blamed on the child.

I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU.

Exactly. I don’t reject Clinton because she is a woman; I reject her because I completely disagree with her foreign policy and co-optation of feminist rhetoric in order to gain mainstream feminist support.

I am so here for this. My Women’s Studies professor was rad and let me go hog wild on the subject! My boyfriend is currently borrowing the hard drive I stored my essay on, but when I get it back I would LOVE for you to read it!
