Ugh tbh I’m super happy I’m single right now. I don’t have to make difficult choices like dumping some fucking asshole when I find out he doesn’t have my back on a fundamental level, or risking staying ignorant of that fact til it’s too late. :(

God I love Harlots, my plan is to binge Handmaids 1-3 this weekend then chase it with the new Harlots ep :D

OR if you have to be this person (within reason- say you just lost a job or are in a much lower-paying industry than the rest of the group), do it BEFORE ordering so everyone knows where they stand.

I mean in all fairness, what we typically refer to as the “concentration camps” of the Holocaust should more properly be referred to as “death camps” or “extermination camps”. We in the US put Japanese Americans into concentration camps during WWII, but we don’t use that term for it, even though that IS what they…

“It’s not teaching religion, but it teaches character and respect and how important it is to tell the truth,” teacher and parent Courtney Tolliver tells the Post. “The kids love it and the ones who don’t participate aren’t made to feel left out.”

#actually John Adams (2nd President) was from Massachusetts and owned no slaves. The majority of our first presidents did own slaves, though. In part because the electoral college and 3/5 compromise disproportionately favored slaveowning states in presidential elections.

Exactly. Keep them in museums, surrounded by CONTEXT. Not on public land.

That’s just it; statues aren’t about ‘preserving history’: they are tools of propaganda. Statues signal down the years who we are, what we value, who we aspire to be. They don’t still have statues of Adolph Hitler in Germany; and I’m pretty sure nobody cried about ‘preserving history’ when Saddam Hussein’s statues…

Early Monday morning, city workers were to begin to take down the statues while it was still dark to avoid clashing with those wanting to preserve the history.

During the election (shortly after RNC when I was fucking horrified and during DNC when a bunch of Bernie bros started crowing about how their tantrum meant more than people’s actual lives) a male friend condescendingly explained to me which issues were ‘progressive’ enough to appeal to voters like him. The misogyny…

I voted for him in a medium-early primary (March) and regretted it within weeks. Bernie can go pound on sand, and the DNC needs to stop humoring the courting of racists and misogynists by throwing women and people of color under the bus whenever it’s convenient. http://www.shakesville.com/2017/04/bernie-sanders-my-auto…

In a statement to The Huffington Post on Thursday, Mello seemed to be distancing himself from his past by telling them that were he elected he “would never do anything to restrict access to reproductive health care.”

Also he trolled and/or was a clueless dickhead to a kid- kid asked him to sign his MAGA hat, Trump did, then threw it behind the kid into the crowd. Like, that’s your fan, asshole- what are you doing? You don’t have that many of them to begin with.

Oh she WAS in Mad Men, wasn’t she? I forgot...

His French nephew recommended it tho.

I do love Noel Fielding though so...

Internalized misogyny, privilege, and the belief that it can’t happen to *you* because *you* are a good and responsible person, unlike those slutty sluts who are always slutting around being slutty.

I also can’t wait. In fairness to Bledel, very few child actors are great when they first start out. She may well have grown into her profession by now.

That’s my hope. Realize conservative bros don’t have your back, that structural sexism is real, and that if those feminists weren’t lying to you all these years, maybe people who say there is structural racism weren’t lying to you either.
