Frustrating, because she is so very clearly biracial-but her African ethnicity somehow overrides her other ethnicities as “different” from the norm. A relic from slavery days that we need to address and get over as a society.

What has changed since the mental hospitals of yore?? It’s absolutely sick, beyond shameful, and embarassing how little we have progressed in how we “handle” mental health. Anyone can and would go “insane” in such an environment, no matter how stable you think you are. I speak for myself on this, as someone who went…

Over 1000 years and we still haven’t progressed past this bullsh*t! In Anglo-Saxon England, women who aborted pregnancies were penalized harshly, because the higher class needed as many workers as they could get to tend the fields, build the castles and roads, raise the livestock, craft items, etc. And the population…

So disturbing. Do you think there’s an alternative to this weird American military system? Having never lived in another country I can’t really even imagine not having it. I mean, I feel like the way that they turn the soldiers into fighting machines is almost like a factory that produces more war, if that makes…

I debated not answering your reply because it’s late and I don’t know you so who really cares? But hey I can’t sleep so why not? Well firstly may I assume that you are quite young? Correct me if not. Anyways, I see that you are angry because of what you perceived in my comment as disrespect and elitism towards…

You guys know what’s crazy big-scheme-wise? Over the entire lifetime of Earth, the amount of carbon dioxide has steadily decreased and is currently at an all time low. In around 5 billion years, the age of animals and plants will be over, and there won’t be enough carbon dioxide to support plant life and therefore…

I’ll bet he think it’s super progressive and amazing to profusely compliment an African American girl’s hair. If he was someone I had to hang out with I would constantly be pretending I wasn’t with him to avoid extra embarassment.

This reminds me of the interesting art book I skimmed through today in a museum giftshop. I learned about a Catholic school, probably in the south somewhere, that makes the graduating girls wear wedding gowns instead of robes. The photo was pretty sad-all those young, young women shoved in puffy white dresses…

Eh, I did those things minus the killing and for me it zapped all sense of power and autonomy. But it wasn’t my choice, these men sign up for this, they put themselves in line for those situations. I think many of the men attracted to the military are the chauvenistic, hyper-masculinity-worshipping cavemen who would…

I heard just a bit on the radio from the conference and commented that at first I thought it was an old woman speaking. We realized that it was true, his voice pitch sounded higher...the way people’s voices go up when they’re nervous. So that’s simultaniously amusing, reassuring, and anxiety-inducing. He’s a fumbling…

Those put in positions of power become like that. I saw it in the mental hospital- “New rule! No using bowls!” “Can’t sit on the couch with wet hair anymore!” “Asthma attack? Please. Go to solitary until you’ll be compliant.”

What a beautiful cat. I hope he had a happy and love filled life and is resting peacefully in the earth now.

First woman president? the country pondered. Most qualified person to run for president in our country’s history? HA. No, of course not! We love white supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia, fundamental religion and homophobia, anti-semitism, mocking disabled people, a lack of very basic decency and the ability to string…

Republicans won the House. Republicans won the Senate. Trump won the presidency. America is dead to me.

A little unrelated but everyone should go out and buy Chobani yogurt. http://nyti.ms/2e5ZnzZ

I long for the days when all I knew about DT was his ugly hair. Can I have him wiped from my memory please??

My step-dad does this ALL THE TIME. He acts like it’s his god-given right to hug me whenever he likes, stroke my head or back, just uncomfortably touch me out of nowhere. I’ve told him I’m uncomfortable with it and he gets offended and tells me I’m rude and hateful. He’s a lot like Trump in some ways. I’m sick of…
