And here comes the tired old “berniebro” canard. Seriously? I’m a 40+ year old grown ass woman who’s been active in and worked in politics for decades and I’m on team Bernie. Oh, and I also enjoy calm discussions based on facts and not ad hominem attacks and poking dead things with a stick.

Word. I had to leave Portland when it became overrun by all the techbros and betties who fled SF. Majorly grody.

I did once trade my window seat for a middle seat to someone who wanted to sit with family - but their middle seat was in the exit row back when those goddamn things were as wide as Roman canals. I’m nearly 6 ft and I could stretch my legs out all the way without touching the seat in front of me with my feet!

I have been sent my share of unsolicited dick pics and videos and shit over the years and I share all that nasty shit with my female friends. Sure, if we’re sending each other hot pixx I’d never share them with anyone else, but you send me a snap of your junk without being asked - it’s practically on the nightly news!

I guess I’m very lucky as a Bernie supporter to have not encountered any of these “berniebros” yet. While I haven’t looked at the cesspool of humanity that is reddit, I really don’t see much on social media, which is a feed I control entirely by who I follow. Maybe the problem stems from some of the people you’re…

AMEN.

Sorry about the mongoloid - I got caught up in the general passion shown for this issue!

Nobody is actually reaching into the toilet to wipe, you mongoloid! You lift up on one cheek, which spreads those cheeks and places the area of interest well above the bowl!

Robin Williams on baby poop: “What, does this shit go through Cleveland before it gets to his asshole?!”

Here are some other don’ts, all from personal experience:

“It’s not my fault! Don’t ask me to be a responsible consumer! I recycle n’ shit!”

Noteworthy sludge I have received from corporate jobs:

It just gets better every year! War Paint, The War on Drugs, The Barr Brothers. Naps in hammocks, late night strolls through the forest, impromptu jams. Did you go this year?

You can buy a Kleen Kanteen steel mug there (or bring your own vessel) and you use those at all of the bars. Water is provided free, as long as you have something to put it in. None of the vendors provide food in single use items - you can either use your own or, for $8, you can get a nice big bowl-ish plate and a…

This year will be my third year! I thought I was getting too old and too misanthropic for festivals, but Pickathon is fucking magical.

Strongly suggest you read this article, which breaks down the narrative of women in sports, women in "feminine" sports, and how the whole Tonya/Nancy story played out. I'm not a Tonya apologist - I think she was in on it. But I also think that she was in an abusive relationship that led to her letting her training…

I lived on an *island* in Alaska. Dudes would go hang out at the ferry dock when the ferry came in every week just to see what walked off.

My version of "the talk":

Abso-fucking-lutely!

This, more than anything else this week, has jump started my job search. I need to get another GD job so I can use this in the workplace pronto. THANK YOU!
