We had a similar lesson in junior high for either the holocaust or the civil rights era where students with “01" in their birth date were singled out and were supposed to be ignored by their peers, stuck at the back of the room and not called on, etc. Looking back, at least it wasn’t racist, but that’s still a shitty…

IT ME.

Perfect reaction gif. <3

I haven’t seen her show, but I’ve seen Going Clear (HBO Doc) and a one-woman play called Squeeze My Cans (written and performed by a former Scientologist). It’s a fucking cult, and I hope other people sucked into its influence are able to get away and rebuild their lives. :(

That chart is fantastic.

It’s my understanding (again, from my mother, while reproaching me that “THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU!”) that he is married with a couple of kids now. That neither proves nor disproves anything though.

Cotton’s people NEVER pick up the phone, ever. Not in the state offices, not in D.C. It always goes to voice mail, which is always full. At least the other Arkansas senator’s staffers pick up the phone and hear you out.

I LOVE their new slogan. Gave me chills too- in a good way, for once. :D

The more shit like this I hear, the more reminded I am of my mom’s pastor’s advice to her first husband: “Never let her win an argument, EVER. Because she is smarter than the both of us and you will never catch up again.”

Internalized misogyny is a hell of a drug. :(

O SHIT

Pretty sure the reverse is gonna happen- the rest of the country ages the way a president normally does and 45 stays the same. :(

The majority of the country did not. We have, however, the shitty electoral college system, which had ONE DAMN JOB (that is, preventing an unstable demagogue under the influence of a foreign power from assuming the highest office in the land) and didn’t do it. We are also likely stuck with it, since I can’t see the…

OOOOOR we’re just now FINALLY starting to break down the stigma of having been raped by an acquaintance, so we’re seeing more reporting of rapes of people who met their rapist ‘on social media’, vs days past when rapists just got away with it because their victims knew they wouldn’t be believed. :(

O man that’s a new Bayeux Tapestry one (for me at least)! :D

Wagner is a bit on the nose, isn’t it? What with the anti-semitism and the appropriation by the nazis during WWII?

Well I mean some of his best friends are Ben Carson, apparently.

Are you kidding? The right has been making ‘demonstrator’ a dirty word (to them, anyway) since the 60s.

Jesus wtf who does that?!

Nope. A ‘mistake’ is bumping into someone on a packed subway car. You say ‘excuse me’ to the person and go on with your day. A ‘mistake’ is buying 2% milk when you meant to buy skim. Voting for Trump when he made it painfully clear at every opportunity for 16+ months of campaigning (and long before he was even a…
