My roommate works at starbucks (one of thousands in the city of Seattle) and apparently none of them are allowed to talk about Schultz running, even though he’s not in charge of the company anymore.

That last paragraph is the part that makes me go no fuck off you can’t be in our rainbow club. You don’t get to torture people for years only to come out and then say you don’t regret it.

Similar experience, in 8th grade (rural VA) my world history class covered a few different religious texts and compared them (rare, progressive teacher, she was excellent) and it was soooo amusing to watch the seriously religious students have a crisis when they realized that their bible stories were taken from a lot…

My thoughts too! go ahead, teach the bible, then all of us who know that it’s a made up fantasy story can now use it against the idiots trying to beat everyone into submission with it.

Good fucking point. If I had to spend my high school years proving my shorts/skirts went past my fingertips and that my tank top straps were at least 3 fingers wide, I think it’s fair to turn that shit around on everyone else. 

There’s an ice cream shop in Seattle that sells red “Make America Gay Again” hats and I want one but also at a glance without reading I know it would look like a maga hat and I just can’t risk that

I’m half way through Banner Saga 2 and I love it so much! Such an interesting story and a beautiful game

Do not let Northern VA defect to join DC, they are the only thing keeping VA purple. Otherwise yes DC statehood all the way

As a former Virginian I shudder at this thought, but as a current West Coaster it also gives me great joy to think of how miserable it would make everyone in that general area.

There is still the problem of people claiming to be allergic to things they just don’t like, for instance going to a restaurant and telling servers they’re allergic to something just to make sure it isn’t included in their meal because they don’t want to eat it. I think this is a two fold problem of people being…

That is all I’ve been playing for the last two weeks. It’s so relaxing and so easy to lose hours to.

Episode Ignis is my canon. I don’t even care. The end of the original game broke me.

Good riddance to Badlatte

this is true. I grew up in VA, and it’s really appalling how much time they spend teaching the civil war (years, I am not joking) without delving into the actual reasons it happened. Visit battlefields, learn about all the dead white guys who ran the war, and the “ending” of it, but reasons the fighting started?…

True! BC is definitely good for more than just keeping babies out of your womb. I’m lucky that my period isn’t so awful that I need additional help, and considering that I’ve been told BC side effects line up with anti-depression med side effects in some ways, I’m glad I can avoid them. Been there done that. But they…

My personal form of birth control is being a lesbian. works every time!

He’s a particularly vile Republican

Because Bob Goodlatte is a gigantic waste of space who literally takes joy out of ruining other peoples’ days? He’s the living worst, I’ve posted a lot about him in the past, but he once told my college group when we lobbied him that green energy wasn’t worth pursuing because China wasn’t pursuing it (back in 2008).…

Not an intern experience but I had two rather horrendous experiences with Bob Goodlatte (we used to jokingly refer to him as Badlatte). As one of his actual constituents he was amazingly rude to my group when we met with him. And the next year when we tried to meet him again, he stood us up.
