I’ve been out of VA for 4 years now (thank god), and this is the first time I’m really hopeful for the state in a long time. It’s an uphill battle no doubt, but I would love to see my home state make some positive changes, because lord knows it desperately needs to.

The more I learn about Canada, the more it sounds like a magical land. I wish the US would do even a portion of that.

I felt 100% the same way about anime that you are describing, I always cited the over the top reactions etc as things that made it impossible for me to enjoy. The show that I started on was Attack on Titan, which is gritty and soul crushing in the best way if you’re into really intense, devastating drama. The…

I didn’t start watching anime until last year (I’m 28) because it always felt intimidating. Apparently I jumped in the deep end, I started on Attack on Titan, and then went immediately to Ouran Highschool Host Club, both of which I adore, and then jumped to Sword Art Online and Free. I’m a little all over the place.

I lost a very close friend in college, and it was such a blow, I didn’t know how to process it for a long time. The one thing I remember hearing from a lot of well meaning people that really hurt was “what a waste”. Her life wasn’t a waste, just because she didn’t get a chance to live it completely. I was too…

Speaking as a person who hates children pretty seriously, I don’t think it’s appropriate to allow your spawn to run free in any place of business unless it’s a daycare, and even then they are supposed to be monitored. Baby aside, if a 5 year old came over to my table to talk to me, whether he was yodeling or not, I…

With or without!?!? WTF OHIO, why would you do that???

I genuinely can’t decide if Pence would be better, equally as bad, or worse than 45. On one hand, he has some experience in politics, but on the other hand, he has some experience in politics. My hope for 45 at least is that he’s too petty and self involved to actually accomplish anything, which would not be the case…

I’m so excited to vote for her in a month! I’ve been eagerly waiting for the chance to for months now, ever since I first heard about her running. Fingers crossed Seattle can actually live up to it’s talk, there’s a whole hell of a lot of problems here that everyone likes to ignore. It’s time to actually do something…

We definitely deserve it at this point.

haha it kind of does! I’m pretty sure it was hella religious, their other 2 kids have very religiously inspired names, but that one struck me most

an old college acquaintance of mine named her daughter Fairlight. Like, really? ok then... 

I held off on reading this article for a few days because it’s such a pressure point for me, I have a hard time breathing while reading about what these fuckwits are doing.

Even if I knew Doctor Who was filming near where I lived, if I was out walking my dog and saw a TARDIS, I think I would lose my shit

Did he and Ivanka take the same memoir writing class together? Sounds like there’s just as much quoting and shallow messaging in both of their “profound” books

Remember when Romney was caught on tape talking about the 47% of people, and when he later said binders full of women, and that lost him the support of the Republican voter base? How did we get here? How can binders full of women lose an election, but grab them by the pussy wins one???

I’m sorry if they don’t have to pay taxes and contribute to women’s health care, I sure as shit don’t want my taxes to contribute to their religious, unnecessary bullshit.

I agree, the Dems are really bad about grassroots. They focus only on the biggest races and positions, but if we learned anything from the Tea Party uprising, it’s that grassroots is how you have to start. If you take over the less noticed positions, suddenly you’ve got an arsenal of people to throw at the bigger…

Thank you for helping me put a finger on exactly what’s been so frustrating with the Dems lately. Oh, that strategy isn’t working? Well, let’s double down and keep at it guys, it’ll probably work eventually! Fuck that, can we please change up the play book?? It. Isn’t. Working.
