And this is exactly why I love GoT— as in life, nothing is easy, nothing is clear cut, and the decisions made echo down for years and years and years. Absolutely fascinating.

Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

Along those lines are the people praising her ‘pragmatism’, the same pragmatism that led her to support the Iraq War and to be against marriage equality. I’d much rather have a Democrat as President that just vetoes the shit out of everything the Republican House and Senate send their way* (and accomplishes nothing…

It’s a really weird narrative considering that Bernie has a longer and better record of effective and bipartisan action in congress. Clinton’s probably better at making the executive branch dance, which is also really important, but this is kinda Bernie’s jam.

The kid Madge has onstage looks terrified. “Stop pawing me, weird veiny lady!” He thinks

I Third. (if that exists)

Is there anything better than Hari Kondabolu!? Maybe like... Cats in top hats but other than that? NOPE. He is a goddamn international treasure.

I look at this and think this is reason 5585412584 that white people should be grateful for POC, because we saved y’all from all this nasty food. Now you get empanadas, jerk chicken, mofongo, patties, curry,pad see ew, and countless other dishes.

i had racist white female teachers too. in fact,there was an article about how white women teachers perpetuate white supremacy by mistreating children of color. to be racist ,let alone against children, is truly repugnant to me.

You and this article inspired me to google my 6th grade teacher and write the following:

Something really similar happened to me (Indian - only brown kid in my school). I was in the gifted reading program from first until third grade, when I got kicked out for fidgeting- one time (now I believe that most 8 year olds- brown or white- fidget). I was never allowed back into gifted reading until testing into…
