I lost my grandfather to dementia, and I’ll probably have it myself when I’m old, and I still think Donald deserves it.

All dogs are good dogs.  Unfortunately there are shitty owners.  This is a good owner with a pack of good dogs. 

I’m no where near as clever as Michael. but for me the process is usually this:

Once in a psychology class (not an English class, mind you — a course called “The Psychology of Women”), a professor asked me to explain to the class what James Baldwin meant when he said: “To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.”

You’re getting my old crap!

I work at a not for profit that relies on a resale shop to fund most of our programs. We are absolutely fucking THRILLED about this.

Her career trajectory might be one explanation.

It’s basically a fear spell they’re casting to prove that they’re one of the good ones and don’t “deserve” such treatment. Or trying to rewrite bad, bad memories.

For that sweet pat on the head from godbag men.
