indulging in the trope that trans people are liars

an In-N-Out in Universal City, Los Angeles

Can’t think of a one?

Exactly. I have “major depression with a seasonal pattern,” what used to be called seasonal affective disorder, and without anti-depressants every winter I would be unemployable, isolated and miserable. That doesn’t make it any less true that one of my best friends was inappropriately prescribed Paxil by her GP after…

Also, Tan France is not an appropriate name for a grown-up human person. It’s a color and a country. Might as well call yourself Mauve Paraguay. Periwinkle Mongolia. Chartreuse Djibouti.

Exactly what I came here to say. Is Sinema horrible on several issues I care about? Yes. But she’s also a reliable pro-choice, pro-LGBT, pro-Schumer vote in a seat that has been held by Republican cellar-dwellers for DECADES. I mean, she won in the state that birthed Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, for fuck sake.

Barring a…

Honestly, other than this and the request that her humidifier be filled with a specific brand of bottled water, I didn’t see anything too “bonkers” in this rider. She’s a 60 year old woman doing a physically demanding stage show night after night. Ensuring that she’s able to get a massage and a good night’s sleep…

I finally gave up on NYC four years ago, but this is one of the last nails in the coffin for the downtown Manhattan I fell in love with as an 18 year old transplant from the Midwest in the mid-90's. Stingy Lulu’s, Dojo’s, Yaffa Cafe, Big Cup, Canal Jeans, Limelight, the Roxy, G Lounge and countless places whose names…

Counter-point: She is a white woman talking about the need for reparations for slavery, a long-time advocate (at least two decades) of diverting the military budget to pay for priorities at home, and put together a book outlining a comprehensive vision for what our country could be featuring essays from Dennis…

Re: 3, See also: The Smiths, The Cure, early R.E.M., early U2, Marianne Faithfull, some Eurythmics/Annie Lennox, some 10,000 Maniacs. Hell, even the Go-Go’s, arguably the peppiest pop band from my youth, sang “This Town.”

I look forward to their inevitable divorce.

But where are the clones? Send in the clones... don’t bother, they’re here.

I get that Brie Larson has been choosing her roles based on the paycheck lately, but how can you watch Room and then say she can’t act?

I mean, aspirin came from willow leaves, penicillin from mold, and psychedelic mushrooms are proving to be more effective for treating addiction and certain types of depression than anything Pfizer’s ever come up with, but sure... anything “natural” is sure to be snake oil just because Big Pharma can’t get rich off of…

LOL, no one “dies” from a safe abortion, you dumb fuck. But thousands of women WILL die from unsafe, illegal ones.

It’s plain text - not interpretation.

It could be worse than 2016. It could be 2008 where twice as many PUMAs who supported Clinton in the primary voted for McCain in the general. That some unusually huge number of Sanders supporters failed to vote for Clinton is just inaccurate. They did better than most.

As someone who worked for the ACLU’s LGBT Rights Project, I think it’s important to point out that Kara Dansky DID NOT. She worked for the ACLU on cases involving criminal justice issues and was not involved in the ACLU’s strategy or position on either women’s rights or LGBT issues.

Holy run-on sentence, Batman!

Not an analogy. She was literally an L.A. Lakers cheerleader.
