Oh, but that’s the worst part: Leonard Cohen’s final days were these last few days. How depressing is that?

Thanks, that’s a great tip. Amazingly (I guess because I usually don’t comment much on fb; I like to be anonymous, especially given what I do for a living) I actually haven’t encountered this type of thing before. I’ve been thinking about it off and on all day and I know it’s super mild compared to what other women

I’m guessing the kind that inhabits 4chan and sleeps with an anime body pillow. Slenderman was born from the Creepypasta section of the internet and though he’s gotten a wider audience, the 4chan set is pretty keenly into him.

I give them suggestions (Godzilla, King Kong, dragons, the kraken, etc. ) or they can choose their own (there are limits on how violent a monster they can pick, I said no to Jason last year). The kids who play a lot of mature video games and doodle knives in their notebooks tend to gravitate to Slenderman because it

I love when the Post publishes absolute gibberish. If the voters reject him, he is not a “hugely popular candidate.”

That’s great and all Bernie, but your one-note Millennial issue concerns are why you tanked the 35+ black and Latino vote, and therefore didn’t win the nomination.

In your effort to protect white people on “our side”, youre actively attacking PoC and everyone else.

Ok, I’m going to say this, and I don’t want you to get mad. Just take it as a series of suggestions

But that’s not why they’re getting “screamed at,” that’s not why we’re being snide. They’re getting screamed at because every time they offer support the have to add that “but it’s not really my fault” disclaimer to the end. If it isn’t you’re fault, if you’re really an ally, then there’s no need to say that.

If allies can’t listen to our conversations without interrupting with a BUT I’M A GOOD WHITE PERSON, RITE?? every fucking second

I think you missed the point of this clip? Samantha Bee is firmly placing the blame on white people, especially white women.

What they really want is that feeling of saying they’ve fought their oppressor without actually confrontiing a real oppressor, thus going for the safer route of attacking allies who share some trait or other with the oppressor.

People who want to call out their oppressors but instead decide to go with the safer option of calling out allies who try to help are always annoying. We get it, if you go after someone who actually hates you it could end badly, but WE are trying to help and when you turn on us too, even if we stick with you anyway

53% is not overwhelming.

Yes, I’m exposing myself as someone who wants to fight Trump’s agenda and you’re exposing yourself as a spiteful, petty asshole who would prefer to play ideological purity police than actually push back in any meaningful way. Fuck off back to your hole and let the adults start trying to fix the damage your shitty

Wait a minute, you are arguing with a whole lot of shit that absolutely no one has said.

You’re not going to who fault people didn’t even vote but white women on Jezebel are somehow to blame?

my sister voted to take my health insurance away, knowing I have a pre-existing condition and knowing I will die without treatment. She doesn’t love me, because love is something you do.

Yeah that’s a frightening turn in rhetoric. Alienating ourselves from everyone else further won’t help.

We’re in interesting times. It’s now not good enough to vote for the right person, now you have to distance yourself from anyone who is “awful”, including, apparently, your own parents. It’s not enough to tell them you think their candidate and their support is hideous, you have to sanitize your environment to show
