She's really something.

Yeah, but Naomi is no box of chocolates herself and has not been above the Paula Deen school of racism in the past. I love The Judds, but the more you learn about Naomi the more she seems like a ring-tailed bitch.

Beats me. A rapper maybe?

Re: Naomi’s mother, traditionally there’s nothing white Southerners fear more than looking poor, because that means they’re no better than Negroes.

I am a Hillary supporter. I believe that most Bernie supporters are just as kind, thoughtful, and enthusiastic about him as we are about Hillary. No one thinks ALL Sanders supporters are bad or violent. However, this violent and hateful behavior of some of his supporters is doing a LOT of damage:
First - it makes…

“Do you want a Hot Pocket? I’m going to have a Hot Pocket. Do you want one?”

Does not really have anything to do with tweet beat, but sending this to the internet void. I broke up with my boyfriend a few hours ago. Long story short over a month ago I dropped the L bomb and he didn't reciprocate and now im listening to I cant make you love me at 2am.

Colorado is way too pretty and the air quality is way too good. I don’t trust it. If my surroundings aren’t trying to destroy me I get paranoid.

I just have to wonder what “taking life seriously” looks like for young Mr. Lochte, because I honestly wouldn’t have seen that as being much of an issue for him, jeah?

Yes. It can be very frustrating when someone doesn’t get it.

But don’t deny everyone else in the world your insights.

I disagree, I think you should only care what other people think of you, and I say this as a professional Sociologist. Remember, C. Wright Mills says that your only value is in understanding how people perceive you. You have all taken a big step today, by voicing how you are perceived. The next step is to stop being…

I think you should give talks at middle schools

I’ve read many Barry Petchesky posts over the years. I even follow him on Twitter. I’ve never doubted for a moment that he would fuck a watermelon.

STOP! You can’t write the rules down! They must be vague, arbitrary, and specific to every different situation, location, and denomination so that when a girl or woman inevitably puts a foot wrong, the people in charge can say “It’s not our fault you didn’t know your outfit would outrage the old folks/distract the…

I am doing this thing now where I just say no to all of that stuff, unless I actually really do want to go (rarely). Easy as that. A wedding I don’t want to go be single at? No, thanks. A baby shower? Nope. Your kid’s birthday party? Nope, no thanks. And I’m actively keeping myself from making up a “valid” excuse,…

That’s how I reacted to the book. I can’t even look at bunnies any more without crying.

Pants are tyranny!

Rich people, amirite? They can’t just shit on paper plates like the rest of us.

I also feel like schools should be required to teach children about domestic violence and how to deal with it (the signs, the patterns, how to get help) as early as Junior High School.
