This is the verified Go Fund Me for the family of Sgt. Johnson, to the best of my ability to verify it:

I really appreciate it & I thank you. I was just lucky. What I’m feeling is nothing compared to what these families are going through. To know that the Commander in Chief doesn’t grasp their pain is incomprehensible.

I’ve been a military spouse my entire adult life. I am so appalled, so angry, so absolutely beyond fury at this lack of respect that I can hardly form coherent thoughts. I’ve been to too damn many funerals, comforted too many spouses, seen too many families ripped apart, watched too many coffins lowered into the…

I found it personally cathartic but I hate the sentiment that all victims/survivors must behave in a certain way or feel the same or act the same way. It’s unfair that we demand that of each other. I get flack for saying I’m a victim. “No, you’re not a victim! You’re a survivor! Only you can make yourself a victim.”

I loved ALL of it but #14 was my favorite part. I cannot wait for this movie; normally I don’t like to go opening weekend because I’m picky and I hate crowded theaters but I’ll be there that first night!

He’s an amazing role model, a terrific artist, a fantastic ambassador for Chicago & absolutely adorable. (I’m old enough to be his momma, one of my kiddos is his age tbh so I can’t comfortably refer to him as attractive in any way without feeling creepy!)

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!! I’m sorry, I know that’s inflammatory and yet I cannot find any other words to express my utter contempt & outrage. What in the ever loving hell made these dumb ass white people think this was remotely akin to a good idea?!? Civil War Day my fat, white Irish ass! Call it what it is: Racist As…

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been there and it just sucks. One of my kid’s preschool teachers once told me that you have to put on your own oxygen mask first, in order to be capable of helping anyone else. Meaning- take care of yourself first & foremost. It’s not selfish, it’s self-preservation.

Yes! This is delicious!! Bacon doesn’t need to be the star of the show. Bacon is not the lead singer of the band; bacon does it’s best work as a roadie.

Now THAT is an idea whose time has come!!!! 👏🏽

Agreed. Also fuck peas in general.

“This moment was so perfect that I want to laminate it, shrink it down into a charm and wear it on a chain around my neck. I want to sleep and shower with that moment!”

I’ve been avoiding The Deuce bc I have issues with James Franco (he’s okay I just find him irritating in a way I can’t articulate) but upon learning Method Man is involved, NOW I’m intrigued!

Friend bologna is amazing!

This is beautifully written; thank you for sharing it.

Cosigned all of this! Mine are grown now & I made sure they knew they should always trust their gut & that I would always be there to swoop in and get them.

I saw this headline elsewhere and thought “Surely there’s some fuckery involved somehow in this”, knowing how the BSA has been rabidly homophobic & transphobic since loooong ago and knowing their deep ties to misogynistic organizations.

He’s already got his lawyer money, unfortunately.

Cicely Tyson is one of the people who, whe I hear someone say “I’ve never heard of her”, makes me wanna slap that person down immediately. How dare you not be aware of the majesty of Cicely Tyson?!?

If there is a God, She will see it that this rumor is not only true, but is made real and manifest.
