Spent most of this morning alternating between numb shock and crying so hard I started dry heaving. Many in my office were openly weeping as well. I feel like the country I love so much has rejected me and everything I stand for. Contemplated moving away. Threw myself into my work, and avoided all news media the same…

I already had an unavoidable call with my MIL today. She immediately went for the erasure of LGBT rights. She told me she was happy to get them ‘out of her face’. She said she admires Pence and thinks Trump is pretty Democratic. She hates Muslims, and can’t even identify Sikhs. She thinks BLM is a joke.

Thank you for the open thread and the amazing coverage.

It took me a second to realize you were referencing your username, not your boss just being racist since Trump won.

If this election, along with the Brexit vote and the 2015 British election, has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t do shit (politically speaking) without the support of middle-of-the-road white people. You can’t advance feminist causes without wining over men and women who aren’t self-identified feminists. You…

I’m glad she took a stand against Trump, the lone racist/sexist of the Republican party. Have to let them know that this will not be tolerated .

I’ll talk to my subjects and get them back in line. Did you cry?

Oh no, they picked up that he was a sex offender - it’s just that sex crimes equate with youthful indirection so often in people’s conscious that they didn’t even question it when he dismissed it as such.

That cameltoe, omg

A *European* warned me that the staff working at the Riga airport in Latvia were kinda grumpy. When I got there ... well, it was no different than anywhere else I’d been in Europe. They just ain’t got time for social pleasantries. It was kind of a nice change, honestly, but I’ve been in retail so long that it’s been…

My immediate response as a Black woman was fuck you, Dave Chappelle.

His supporters believe he is the living embodiment of the American dream. They think he’s earned the right to “trade up” whenever a wife no longer lives up to the trophy status in his mind. They also think he’s going to share the wealth by bringing back jobs that are no longer sustainable in the US. They’re so blinded…

As if his hands could wrap all the way around a baby’s neck.

I’m objectively the most handsome man my wife’s ever had a relationship with, and I still get jealous. She’s still friend’s with one of her ex’s. And he’s gay. And he’s one of the people who said I’m the most handsome.

“My husband and I still talk to her, sometimes it’s fine!”

My husbands ex kind of introduced me to him. My friend was dating her and they collectively suggested my now husband and I would get along. My husband and I still talk to her, sometimes it’s fine!

So, there’s a group of girls that have either dated or been intimate with my boyfriend (they all knew each other in HS/College) and they keep asking me to hang out with them and I just don’t want to. I find it weird that this is the reason they want to be my friend. He’s told me they’ve done this to other girlfriend…

another thing she said on the interview is that her sourpuss/uninterested resting face is actually a genetic condition she has.

so are mine /sharpens claws, gives you knowing glance
