Thanks! I had a very busy summer with work and other life things. Plus, expressing anger and fury again and again at the same bullshit just kind of fell flat. I miss some of the more joyful snarky celebrity stuff.

I feel like I need to go to therapy. I’m weirdly reticent to go, though, probably some deep-seated masculine bullshit that’s screwing with my head. Fuck, the patriarchy screws us all.

We’re rewatching Parks and Rec on a binge, drinking wine, and desperately looking forward to sleep.

Hey! I hope Jezebel decides to pull you out of the greys. I’ve seen people suggest emailing the Kinja Help Desk to ask if you can be ungreyed, if you link your profile and show that you’ve been here for ages with no issues.

Good vibes to you too!

This week has been like a fucking century so I completely support that. I genuinely cannot believe it’s only been five days since Monday. Thank Christ it’s the weekend.

Abrazos for you too. If you’ve got a car you can step into to do some therapeutic screaming, go for it.

FiveThirtyEight pointed out on Twitter earlier today that Republicans have never appointed a woman to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Not one. Ever. Only Dems.

A cowardly bigot who hides behind “decency” when he wants to appear centrist but vomits bullshit at the slightest opportunity to hurt a woman.

I’m sorry, I’m really fucking angry today. Am I triggered lib? Well I guess the fuck I am. Die mad about it.

I’ve been saying for days now that Kavanaugh’s best way out of this would have been, very early in the accusations, for him to admit that he blacked out a lot in high school and that while he had no recollection of this incident ever happening, he admits that he also can’t say it didn’t happen, and that he is…

Right? The calendars cover a period of 19 Sundays, from May 2, 1982 to August 29, 1982. Little Flowers Church is mentioned zero times (which isn’t too much of a surprise even if he was going every day, considering church would have been something of a presumption for a Sunday). But the other things that are listed are:

Also, he just released his calendar which like... completely disproves that he was “going to church every Sunday at Little Flower.” I don’t see any reference to Little Flower Church on the calendars, and most Sundays are listed as “come home from X location” where he was gone for the weekend. Considering that church…

Oh, also, compare this section in the letter:

But I was not perfect in those days, just as I am not perfect today. I drank beer with my friends, usually on weekends. Sometimes I had too many. In retrospect, I said and did things in high school that make me cringe now.

Katie, thank you for reaching out to Safe Horizon and for highlighting the public charge rule. This fight is going to be a marathon, not a sprint. But also, Safe Horizon is a fantastic org and I encourage people looking for an org to donate to to consider them; they provide help for vulnerable victims of domestic…

proves he has $hitty handwriting..., like a five year old...

I don’t do settlements of that type, but as a general matter, yes, you can void a contract if one of the parties was coerced into signing. 

I’ve been reading this reg a lot over the past few days (came out on a fucking Saturday fuck you DHS), and while it’s definitely better than the versions that leaked earlier this year, it’s still a complete fucking disaster to immigrants and could lead to a major drop in legal immigration and make Americans less…
