Guys, Halloween is over. Time for me to break out my extremely depressing Christmas music and start planning some truly Leslie Knope levels of gift giving.

The double standard perfectly illustrated in three tweets. Amazing. And he clearly sees no contradiction whatsoever.

Bette from Hocus Pocus never gets old.

why does lena dunham hate goths?

Yes, I’ve done something exactly like that! I met my girlfriend over at Groupthink about a year and a half ago. We started an e-mail friendship, and after a few months things became pretty romantic and she planned a sexcation to come visit me in Texas from Canada. Turns out, we fell in love and we’re going to get…

I spent my entire Saturday burning my favorite candle, sipping on tea, and sitting in front of the TV. It has been glorious.

People understood him?

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

I cannot stand to watch fictional chefs pretending to cook (or people who cook well at home call themselves chefs) but it isn’t appropriation. It is annoying and not enjoyable for me to watch as entertainment, but it isn’t really offensive. Everything that I don’t like is not an affront on me.

All men have kill lists. Women need to realize this & stop fussing.

No shit. If Hills doesn’t win in a landslide I will no longer believe people are “mostly good.”

I love those Lane Bryant posters with Gabby Sidibe. She just looks so joyful and beautiful.

His STIs.

My great grandmother died the same way. This would have been around 1913. My grandmother was three and grew up without a mother. It didn’t occur to me until now how that must have affected her...and her relationship to my mother...and my mother’s relationship to me (which was not great). Women’s reproductive rights…

That question is so asinine and thoughtless. I was a third child, my mother hadn’t had prior abortions, but she was deeply unhappy and stuck in a terrible marriage. There’s no question for - if you’re asking me to choose between my life and a possible reality where my mother could have been happy and not stuck married…

It’s worse for women of colour, but I think all women get this, especially when they’re younger. A friend of mine is head of policy for the charity where she works, but people will always try to talk to her male colleagues (to their credit, they direct the questions back to my friend). It’s really frustrating to watch…

Everyone should have guns to protect themselves, but will face a life sentence for using a gun to protect themselves. Did I get that right?

This is a classic case of what is often known as battered wife syndrome (although the shooter is in this case the daughter). An abuser is killed while vulnerable because his victims feel there is no other escape - they can’t run because he’ll find them, they can’t go to the authorities because they won’t keep him in…

My daughter slept on the floor for 3 months. She was not even 2 and had transitioned fairly easily to a toddler bed 3 or 4 months prior... and one night wouldn’t get in bed and fell asleep on the floor. We shrugged and figured it was a 1 night thing. 3 months later after setting up multiple beds every night (maybe…

My parents apparently had similar trouble with me. So they bought me a beautiful canopy bed with beautiful pink bedding (5 year old cisgender, gender conforming girls love that shit) and when they caught me sleeping on the floor in front of their bedroom door, threatened to send it back to the store if I didn’t start…
