He was a piece of shit who didn’t deserve to go out that way but won’t be missed except by twentysomethings with too much time on their hands.

XXXTentacion’s stans will never -ever- be convinced that he was a dirt bag, no matter how much is released. To them he’s their Tupac.

All I have to say is that of course this asshole was anti-Hillary. Talk about a poison cherry on top of a shit sundae. If it wasn’t already, it’s become all too clear in the past year or two that abusers/rapists/etc can’t help but stick up for one another.

So incredible.  Happy birthday, Joni.  You are the greatest.

Aside from being one of GOAT songwriters/lyricists, Joni was also an incredible singer, with a huge range that she maneuvered around with ease. In the album recording of the aforementioned “Big Yellow Taxi”, in the final verse, she goes from the very highest note of the song almost immediately to the lowest, and then…

Yes. And this is a little off topic, but I keep seeing previews for that new Jennifer Lopez movie where she thinks her experience working in retail is equal to like a masters degree. Every time I see it and I’m like ‘argh anti-intellectualism make it stop!’.

“She pushed the Life Protect 24/7 button she wears around her neck,”

Ahh I got a little teary reading that. They are literally tiny furnaces!

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

I get wanting natural experiences but I do not believe one’s “body knows what to do”. I also understand that hospitals are a scary place for women and there is a valid fear that medical professionals impose too much on a laboring mother. However, I would far rather have intervention that I might not want if it means…

Six days. Six. I’m a gay dude and even I know that’s not a good sign.

this radical work of healing the deepest wounds on this earth

I wish that my three children didn’t require surgical intervention to enter the world. The havoc those C sections have wreaked on my back and abs can’t be overstated.

WTF is the point of living in modern times if a person doesn’t avail herself of some of its luxuries, like a freaking pre-natal appointment to a midwife or something? Yet she will chatter on FB about the “primal instinct” that takes over. Guess what? Birthing can be pretty deadly, just look at history. But no, the…

And although he wasn’t in an election yesterday, he was sentenced today, so can we say a special Bye, Bitch to Steve Stockton too?

IKR! I very much doubt that this is the last we’ll hear from Beto. He’s now got a couple of years to burnish his progressive bona fides (I don’t think he quit the House to run for Senate, but my memory may be wrong; I hope I’m right there) before being selected VP running mate for Kamala Harris or Tammy Duckworth.

The 2 judges that were responsible for incarcerating 1/5th of the Texas juvenile prison system (95% of whom were minorities) both lost their seats yesterday.

Let’s pour one out for State Rep. Dr. Betty Price (R-Georgia Suburbs), the wife of former US Rep and former Sec. of HHS Dr. Tom Price*, who asked last year “about the legality of quarantining HIV patients to stop the spread of the virus that causes AIDS.” She lost her seat to a Democratic woman. BYE, BITCH.

The Kobach and Walker losses are brilliant.

I’m just so delighted that Walker lost in Wisconsin.  I loathe that motherfucker, and the relatives I have in Wisconsin who I’m sure voted for him.
