For my most used news source, I chose the BBC. He can’t really go after them beyond insults, whereas I’m paranoid enough to think he’ll figure out what US media all the “libs” are watching and go after them hard(er).

I became Svetlana Nabakov from a wealthy suburb of Atlanta for this survey. Maybe they’ll pay more attention to my answers?

There has to be a way to simulate enough of the experiences, if you could find a man willing to commit for 40 weeks (none would, which you’d think would be enough to make them realize abortion should remain legal). Tell them they can tap out (abortion) at any time before 20 weeks, but once they hit 20 weeks they have…

I’m an administrator at a private school that offers about a million in tuition assistance every year so that we can all learn from a culturally rich and diverse community. We put a lot of time and effort into fundraising every year for that fund, and wouldn’t have it any other way. Our school thinks vouchers are…

I find myself pining for his intelligence and eloquence.

In my Catholic high school, my 11th grade religion teacher gave me an in-school suspension for refusing to take off my Planned Parenthood pro-choice Livestrong-style bracelet. I refused to speak to him, even when directly spoken to in class, for the rest of the semester and into the next. Finally my parents told me to…

Kids are so impressionable, and it’s important to be straightforward with them when they ask tough questions.

I need to know what district this is. I don’t even have children yet and am very happy in my current location and job, but I’m moving there when my future kids are in 5th grade just so I can raise hell.

I was a healthy white girl baby adoptee and struck the lottery with my family- as close to ideal as could be in my opinion. They love me unconditionally, gave me far far more than the necessities of life (including helping me graduate a private liberal arts school debt-free), and I wouldn’t change a thing about my…

Gah, same. I wouldn’t have been able to make DC, but I’m bummed I can’t go to the local march. I am one of two organizers for a pretty big event, so I can’t really get out of it either.

I haven’t seen Marley and Me, and I won’t see this movie, but I do appreciate that every time they’re mentioned I’m reminded to hug my dogs and not take their presence for granted.

Very technically, I believe that is hand-lettering and not calligraphy. Because I guess I’m being that person today.

My boyfriend and I (back in the early days of the primary) convinced his epitome-of-white-southernness family to change their opinions on a couple things with Bernie videos that we would email with correlating Bible verses. Too many years of Fox News against her made it too much for them to even consider Hillary.

You realize that this is how echo chambers are made? Covering your ears, closing your eyes, and screaming “LALALALALALALA” has never made and will never make a problem go away. You are just willfully making yourself ignorant of reality.

Then when elections don’t go your way, it’s “How could Trump win? Who even voted…

This is the real crux of it. Our entire country needs a healthy dose of social-emotional learning. All sides need to remember how to empathize.

And Pegida is a figment of the imagination, I suppose?

Well, historically, “asking” large groups of Native Americans to relocate to smaller, less useful pieces of land has worked out quite well for rich white people.

I did chicken and dumplings (turkey and stuffing’s close relative) and a baked apple. Much easier for one and I got the whole apartment really clean and am enjoying my 4 day weekend.

Han Solo (aka young Harrison Ford) looking pleased to be frozen in carbonite.

Sending you both my love. There are still a whole lot of us who will stand up for you through all this.
