Yeah. The Root doesn’t seem to have that many commenters (I often see articles with less than 20 comments which never happens on the other main blogs) so whenever one blows up like this you know you’re in for a lot of trolls.

I’ve listened to some trans women speak on this topic. A lot of them said if they don’t present as totally feminine a lot of people won’t treat their being trans as legitimate. Some of them who aren’t as feminine feel if they don’t perform femininity to a certain degree, their transition is endangered because there…

Can we get McMullin to move there?

As a Floridian, aka a state that fought for the South, I’d like to give him the Confederate flag that matters.

Yep. Hell one gas station in my hometown used to sell out because it didn’t do that and price about 15 cents under everyone else who were always within a nickel of each other.

Ryan’s already panicked and trying to shove it through by declaring this is the best chance they’ll ever have to get rid of Obamacare. He KNOWS if they fuck it up they’re screwed.

A chunk of GOP refuse to repeal without replacing for fear of losing their seats.

The main portrayal I knew of outside The Apprentice was from my dad’s old Bloom County collections. In which Donnie’s brain was put in Bill the Cat’s body after an accident.

I remember at the zoo in my hometown spring was the time to catch all the ducklings and mamas and move them to the aviary. Cause if they stayed on the lake the giant catfish would eat them. So you’d see zookeepers hearding the ducklings and mama or even taking a canoe out on the lake because some little fluffball…

There was a great book I read as a kid that treated ancient civs like tourist destinations. Had tons of stuff on culture, geography, economy, housing, and travel hazards. I remember ancient Greece was pretty much the worst of the lot if you were a woman since it was a time of Athenian dominance and in Athens it was a…

Marijuana seems to also be an issue getting some to wake the fuck up.

Or anything he did that upset these people. TrumPet tears are lovely.

Reminds me of when I went to England for my first semester of collage. I was in a suite with 4 English students and 1 other American we about never saw. Well one night I’m cooking dinner at the same time as the two male roommates and we’re chatting about my homework on Paradise Lost and in comes our usually-unseen…

I’ve been making some jewellery lately and have mostly been buying piece by piece, as sales allow. I only get more when I’m making more. I’ve since made six bracelets and three necklaces over three weeks and four shopping trips, only buying beads when I’m out.

I have my own version of the $100 rule. I wait for it to go on sale. A really good sale too, not like 20% off or something. Either it’s been a while and it’s on a good sale and I can feel secure because I still want it and got a deal, and if I miss it oh well I got on this long without it and maybe it wasn’t so great.

I saw a report once about a whistleblower cop and all the shit he took for it. It was very depressing.

Well as to the first question, a lot of homophobic group seem to insist that no man was ever boinking another man in the history of their people until The Bad People came and they somehow seduced some of Our Men into boinking Their Men and then Our Culture Was Thus Ruined By The Homos. Or something along those lines.…

True. I’ve had multiple existential crises int he last few years becuase, yeah, the thought that death is random and can happen any time is fucking scary. The idea that all these tragedies we see are all premeditated by some higher power is the way some people keep themselves sane by telling themselves that same…
