Lucky and smart.

Oh man, I’m so sorry for you, your sibling(s?), and your mom. I briefly worked in a residential treatment facility and the therapists told us that people are often drawn toward therapeutic or social work careers when they feel helpless in that aspect of their life. For me, helping other people was a comfort since I…

I love you so much and I’m glad to be able to call you a friend...but you know you’re more than that!

Is it too late to ask to be adopted into your family? Or at least to borrow those women once a year?

When I was a little girl, I was red-faced, embarrassed by them (my mother included), because it appeared as if they couldn’t let shit slide. But now... I understand.

Yes. I was going to pull this out too.

“That’s what I see in Minnesota — too many people who are afraid of being called ‘racist,’ ‘bigots,’ ‘Islamophobe,’ ” Bachmann said. “I’m not afraid of it.”

She “became deceased?” Yeah, no. She was shot and killed by the cop.

Besides, I didn’t fit any of the clichés of an “abused woman.”

It took me far too long to realize that the man I loved was eventually going to kill me, and I’m lucky to have left him behind me.

I mean we all know the real reason he’s doing all this shit is to distract us...maybe from health care, maybe from some incoming new scandal. But this distraction is fucking working and I’m terrified for this country.

Um, see my above post to Ms. Kai. You also need/deserve/should always be rolling in some puppy kisses, sugary carbs, a good drink, and some soothing, soothing Idris Elba.

I witnessed a man who said he loved me and my mother, beat her on a regular basis.

Yes it is exaggeration in that speech was that the specific actions of a couple applies to the many. The rest referring to those 15/16 year old girls is rather spot on.

Trump: “So I heard this one story, and it now applies to all 11 million immigrants!”

In retrospect, I am forever-grateful for being raised around Black women, who can be best described as “hard-assed with piss and vinegar running through their veins”. The type of women that you’ve only seen glimpses of in comic books and Alice Walker novels. The type that you would think that would be found standing…

He’s referring to this:

Damn I am sorry Maiysha. If I ever have kids (girls or boys) I will make damn sure they understand their equal value. This has got to stop.

“They don’t want to use guns, because it’s too fast and it’s not painful enough. So they’ll take a young, beautiful girl—16, 15 and others—and they slice them and dice them with a knife because they want them to go through excruciating pain before they die.

I was listening to a podcast a few weeks ago where they were analyzing novels by white supremacists and this fantasy of a white woman being violated by a brown or black person is a feature of almost all those novels. This imagery is straight out of the white supremacist handbook.
