SEEKING. ASYLUM. IS. NOT. ILLEGAL.

Sadly I think we are nearly at the point of no return when we need celebrity endorsements to get people off their lazy asses to go vote. If the current state of things in this country doesn’t have you wanting to get out there and cast your vote, but a social media post from Taylor Swift or Amy Schumer does...then that…
Guys with small dicks just need to get really good at giving head. Everyone loves a guy who really knows how to chow down.
More good news out of MI (I grew up there, family still lives there, we’re planning to move back there next summer)- my mom has thrown herself full force into the anti-gerrymandering effort (Proposal 2 I think?) and after months of gathering signatures, she’s spend the last several days canvassing all over the place.…
It wasn’t for nothing to me. It was inspiring. I hate that she felt like she had to do this, and I hate that she received so much shit for it, and I hate that her life has been upended. But it wasn’t for nothing to me, and to my fellow assault survivors.
Manipulating others through cherished misery is a shitty thing to do. Empathy goes both ways. It’s time to apply it to yourself and remove yourself from this guy’s toxicity. He is bad for your well-being, he’s a drain, he makes sure to keep himself in your thoughts. Write to him that you have shit of your own to work…
I relapsed after 10 years of sobriety the day the elections results came back. I shit you not, I was recovering from a back surgery, realized Donald Fucking Trump was going to be the POTUS. My mind began to fragment and the only thing I could think of was to take a few pain pills to blot out this new reality. I was…
Oh, I was always the “mom” of the group, even in middle schol. That doesn’t look safe. How would you feel if someone did that to you?
What are the countries with the highest standards of living and lowest levels of crime and recidivism? Northern European countries with sentences that are shorter than a lot of other countries, no death penalty, and ‘cushy’ prisons that are more focused on rehabilitation than punishment. Look at the justice system in…
The bigger concern is not what Mr. Trump has done to the presidency but rather what we as a nation have allowed him to do to us. We have sunk low with him and allowed our discourse to be stripped of civility.
It’s time for all of them to march up to Congress and have Trump removed. Anonymously speaking to Woodward and the NY Times is an act of cowardice. A true patriot would have put their name on this op-ed.
I’m pretty sure that criticism was directed at the corrupt government, not the people. But yes, in the U.S., at least, there are plenty of voters who think any kind of civilian cultural institution is a waste of government money. I wonder if those beliefs are common in Brazil as well, or if the government is simply…
You know, I’m a lib, and I feel pretty owned right now, but it has nothing to do with the owners at all. Rosanne, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson and all their deplorable children can take the weekend off.
I’d rather eat tasty sodium-rich fake Mexican food and spend the rest of the day on the toilet than inadvertently donate a penny to a Republican.
Went thru the driveway drunk and loved it. Went thru sober and hated it. I preferred Jack In the Box for those late night cravings, along with everyone else leaving the bars at 2am. Ah SoCal. A time in my life when getting up by ten to enjoy the beach before work was adulthood goals. I miss that adulthood.
“While the specific anecdotes—that he allegedly uses a tanning bed in the White House daily, that he guzzles around eight Diet Cokes a day, or that he has never read a single piece of legislation he’s signed”
You kids can keep Ariana and Pete.
I haven’t gotten around to writing to the NYT about this yet, but my personal grievance with them is the almost complete omission of any women from their recent big climate change article. The women are there exclusively to provide character background for the men - there’s not a single female voice of relevance…
~EXCA-UUUUSE ME,~ but I’ll have you know that the Hayley Mills (child goddess) original is the ONE and ONLY good (great) (amazing) (fabulous) (exceptional) (extraordinary) “version” of The Parent Trap, and anyone who even REMOTELY enjoys that Lindsay Lohan oreos-and-peanut-butter bullShit is a tasteless heathen, I…
