That IS hard. I cut my mom out cold turkey for over a year, and at least 2 of her 7 siblings tried to guilt me into talking to her again. I went to therapy a LOT and we worked our way slowly back to a relationship when I was goddamn good and ready, but MAN that pressure was intense. I am so sorry for my friends who…

I usually just take a moment to reflect and acknowledge that estrangement is the right and healthy thing to do for the both of us. I will always love and respect my mother, but that relationship is toxic at best. And instead of being pressured into reconnecting because society tells us it’s the right thing to do, I…

Oh god this kind of statement bothers me sooo much. They always say shit like that while doing absolutely nothing to change things, even in their own lives.

Oprah is beloved in the gay community (ok, let’s face it—Oprah is beloved in every community)

Joel Osteen and that whole “Jesus Made me Rich! Let Him do it for YOU!” thing makes me want the second coming to happen. It would be entertaining to see all these people come face to face with a middle eastern looking Jewish guy shouting “How did you all get this so wrong?! All I said was be nice to each other!”

Good grief that photo basically represents the Trump family. Gilded and absolutely clueless at doing their jobs.

The second part of that lemonade stand story In The New Yorker is kind of revealing, too, but in a different way:

I do too! For me it’s because my dad, who is a raging and proud misogynist, calls all women gals. 87 year old woman? Gal. 16 year old child in short shorts he’s ogling? Pretty ‘lil gal. Accomplished grown ass women? Mouthy gal.

A self-hating one at that. He advocates for “gays to go back in the closet” and that he’d be straight if he could help it, and he has said that “gay rights are detrimental to humanity”.

Nah, they don’t even care about boning. (milo’s gay) They just hate women because their misogyny and racism makes them feel powerful.

I didn’t see it. But the premise seemed boring. I also refuse to see any movies with Casey Affleck. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/22/casey-affleck-s-dark-secret-the-disturbing-allegations-against-the-oscar-hopeful.html

Just as absurd as a virgin birth, walking on water, multiplying fish and loaves of bread, transubstantiation, and rising from the dead in my opinion. Religions are absurd.

Look he can’t hel...
