I think they have now established that the lawyer voicemail was from John Dowd, since Giuliani and Sekulow have both denied it (fwiw, anyway).

I shamefully wish for an emboldened (psychotic) environmentalist who, instead of trying to sink a boat to save a singular whale, goes after horrid people like Pruitt, as it will likely save more whales down the line than just one.

Wow, the shitty final season of GoT seems to parallel our current, darkest timeline quite well......

Can’t believe they asked you to raise two fingers and you didn’t go with Ol’ Faithful

Can’t tell you how many text messages I exchanged with friends seriously worrying about the health of a person I have never met and will likely never meet.

Oh my fucking god, Drew! I’m so sorry that you went through that and I’m so fucking happy you’re alive! To share I went through something milder than that last year. I had 3-4 episodes where I was shaking badly. One time when I was going to work and it was so bad I couldn’t put the lid on my coffee; a stranger had to…

Jesus, man. This is harrowing. Like everyone else in the comments, I’m glad things didn’t go differently.

When I think about the long game the GOP played against Americans and their rights, I turn into the brown Incredible Hulk. 

Umm, they can’t bring up “God”. I don’t believe in “God”, so their argument is garbage.  It must be science based.  Try again you assholes. 

Here’s some fun anti-Nazi news to cheer everyone up. One of the UKIP candidates for the South West region in the European Elections is some “trigger teh libs” “anti-feminazi/SJWs” YouTuber and even being someone who’s tuned in on to politics I had no idea he’s actually been out campaigning in these parts this week.

How many people regret their marriage? Let's ban marriages!!! 

Babylon 5 has kind of diminished somewhat in my eyes over the last decade. It’s kind of like one of those Golden Age sci-fi books that your dad keeps insisting that you have to read because he read it, and then when you do, you can certainly see that it has some great scenes, but it’s also clearly not aged that well.

Really stupid.

Buffy and Angel pulled off decent finales based without feeling like they sold out their characters any more than later season writing had already, while definitively destroying the underlying evil that their shows were premised on and suffering meaningful consequences for doing so.

Wait a minute...

TLDR; You know it’s Reagan’s fault. He’s the one who let the godhumpers into the halls of power back in the early 80s. They’ve been running roughshod over women’s rights ever since.

Hugs from a fellow survivor.

Today is 20 years since my rape. I did not need this shit today. I was mostly fine. Then I got this notification from WaPo and collapsed into tears in my front yard. I’m just done with this planet.
