It has always been my priority to protect the LGBTQ community I am a part of.

I have so much trouble wrapping my head around why TERFs exist in the first place, like it does not compute in my head. Like she makes the point that to feel opression as a "woman" you need a vagina but like...not all people with vaginas have the same experience of opression, right? It's not a monolith 

If the only places you’re finding a receptive audience for your ideology are where cancerous, racist, vile and evil violent sociopaths like white nationalists and other fascists congregate, then you have a cancerous, racist, vile and evil, violently sociopathic ideology.

And what did Parker Posie ever do to deserve having this troll co-opt her good name?

I was an undergrad in 1983 (not at Yale, at Illinois). I would definitely not have known what to do if a faculty member harassed me. I might have known where to ask what to do, but would I have had the guts to do it. They didn’t include “what to do in case of sexual harassment” at freshman orientation. 

Poo Pourri is indeed a fabulous product..with the most disgusting and tasteless advertising ever. And I’ve been in the voiceover aspect in advertising for 30 years, so I know all about tasteless and disgusting. 

Just because your landlord let you be late 10 times doesn’t mean they can’t decide “no more” on the 11th time. I don’t understand what leg she thinks she has to stand on at all?

On a warm summer evening

Okay, hear me out. A TLC return tour but with Holly, Left Ear, and 775.

“I read that as Kenny Rogers style chaos.”

How about men with power and money - stop going after women half your age and then complain when people point out a power imbalance or call you a fucking creep. 

“medical emergency” (read: one of the obese passengers had a heart attack)

So sick of this toxic positivity BS. “Optimism” has as much to do with raising mental health awareness as “Purple” has with battling racism.

Also, it increases the harm of mental illness and depression.

Rebecca Traister had an impactful reaction to all of this - that many of these men may be losing their jobs, their families, their esteem - but we’re all still left in the world they created. I think about that all the time with who the gatekeepers are, who controls the news, who controls which stories are told.

I’m not burning up at all. Nothing has eaten away at me. I didn’t forgive my ex 20 years ago, and he certainly never apologized or asked me to. He’s dead now, and I still don’t forgive him. The only time I think about him is when his name comes into conversation, and I say, “yep he was an asshole” and I go on with my…

Oh god, one of those “You just don’t understand!” responses. Okay, you’re right, I don’t understand, can you help me understand? “No! If you don’t understand, I can’t help you understand! You’ll never understand!” FFS, just admit you were trying to get attention, and it backfired because it got you the wrong kind of…

People in your office are yelling to each other from room to room?

Uh, conservative states are the ones that protect employers rights to fire someone, not blue states. Either way, “not wanting a flu shot” isn’t a protected class anywhere.

Nothing could be more American than refusing to do something that benefits other people.

This is an excellent headline.
