I love them too! The photos warm my heart and I think that the fans are cute too. Like the ones who have a little too much time on their hands and speculate about romances between the doggies :)

Believe me when i say your sentiment is completely lost on the type of people who read this site.

I saw! Just completely lost on them as they keep perpetuating the cycle.

Aziz’s bit about G.W. Bush in his opening monologue cracked me up. “What the hell has happened? I’m sitting here wistfully watching old George W. Bush speeches? Just sitting there- ‘What a leader he was!’ 16 years ago I was certain this dude was a dildo, now I’m sitting there like ‘He guided us with his eloquence!’”

I’ve been through that messy thread. I believe someone referred to it as “bitchery.”

This is a black woman talking about her experience as a woman of color in this movement, and all you can see is democrats, liberals, and the left. It’s so simple for you isn’t it? This is about white privilege, not party affiliation.

The response to that piece was really shocking to me, but I guess the commenters just proved Kara’s point about women who identify as feminists but cannot see beyond the narrow scope of their white privilege, so unwilling to listen when a woman of color speaks about her experience. It’s so fucking depressing.

I was over on a sister site saying it

*sigh*

I did, i went to the pew research result, but was having a hard time understanding their breakdown. thanks for the link

I had an interesting experience at the LA march. Overall, the whole day was amazing and lovely. I felt invigorated by the crowd. Something did happen that stood out a little, though, and it relates to your thoughts:

It’s not good enough. You don’t get a cookie for this. It’s literally the least one can do (besides not showing up). I don’t need to be respectful of people who haven’t earned respect. I respect people who show up to BLM protests time after time. I respect people who phone bank for campaigns, and canvass. I respect…

Just because the protests were diverse does not change that they were largely white and largely organized by white women. Several black and queer voices in my life had serious trepidation about even coming out for the march. A lot of it was confirmed justified as they found themselves surrounded by police apologists…

You weren’t neutral. You said it devolved into nitpicking. And now you’re trying to tone police me while falsely positioning yourself as the voice of reason.

Because it wasn’t until white women’s lives were at stake did this sudden interest in organizing these women’s marches begin. Black/Brown/Native/LGBTQI+ people have been marching for YEARS. But it wasn’t until white women were directly offended by the shit show in office that they felt it necessary to organize and…

I hope you’re not suggesting that being self-critical and making sure that the feminism we’re practicing is truly intersectional counts as “in-fighting”? There’s a sometimes fine line between holding each other accountable and just sniping at each other so much that we’re prevented from getting anything done. (And…

Yeah, Nazi’s are on my “kick the shit out of” on sight list too. The only good Nazi is an unconscious Nazi. And if you’re spouting off white supremist BS, Fascist assholerly, Misogynistic craptology, or general xenophobic nationalistic bigotry, you’re a Nazi. I would recommend not letting me know about it, because I…

wow did you just tell someone who shared a personal story about their childhood experience with violent racism that they should try and talk things out with someone who calls for the killing of black people?

Perhaps you’ve never been called a nigger and told you were gonna get hung from a tree. When you were 10, and in Southern California, in the early 90s. So yes, punching a white Hate terrorist in the face is the right thing to do.

Yea those moral victories are going to feel extra hollow when they start using the full force of the federal military to round up dissenters. But feel free to cry those tears for sad fascists.
