Yea. I agree it’s a thing on an individual basis. In the same way ANYONE can be a racist. I can hate a white person for being white, based on gross preconceived notions about him, as much as he hates me for being brown. I’m not sure it’s a systemic or more broadly impactful thing, though. I can’t imagine white people…

Well said. We’re having a moment (granted a very long, arduous, painful moment that has been shoved to the forefront by an anthropomorphic Cheeto) and lots of people are becoming more aware than they used to be. It’s so bizarre to me how we (my brown culture included) want so badly the allyship of white people - we…

That is how change happens, for better or worse. The less privileged, the under represented, the marginalized groups and can scream and yell and protest and it’s all wonderful and great. It’s not until money and power enter the picture that real systemic cultural change happens. Fundamentally, it’s the only reason any…

But I’m so fucking sick of men that I’ve stopped liking drag queens because there’s an element of it that is men performing a man’s idea of what a woman is. And I’m just over men’s opinions of women.

My dad is a Vietnam war vet and as such has an insane and delusional perception of just how much respect and reverence military folk deserve. It’s always been a huge point of contention for us, because while I respect service people for doing a physically and mentally challenging, often violent, often PTSD-causing job…

Exactly.

I can never find the right words to articulate how special dogs are because they are just there for you and with you, all the time. They are present in your happiness, sadness, depression, anxiety, distractedness, anger, illness and on and on and on. They see every turn of mood, every emotion, every success and every…

Shelters and rescues do have adoption fees. These fees are a fraction of what one would pay to a private breeder. For example, my idiot colleague (he’s an idiot independent of this anecdote) paid $2200 for a purebred golden retriever last year; meanwhile, my friend adopted a primarily golden but probably mixed with…

It’s so hard for me not to shit on people who buy dogs. I know it’s not the dog’s fault. But god damn, the shelters and the rescues are packed with the goodest boys and girls.

Grief, and unfathomable amounts of money. I do believe that the 1% gets to a place where they just can’t think of enough things to spend their money on, so they do shit like this.

So accurate and so sweet. I have a 6 year old pitbull - he’s my third dog - and I know that he’s that special one... my Riley. Our relationship is so pure, and he is such a wonderful, loving, interesting little dude. I dread nothing more than the day he leaves this world, but I can’t imagine ever wanting to clone him.…

What IS that brand of thinking, psychologically speaking? The allegiance to a particular group of people who are actively opposed to your equality and most basic civil rights? I know the casual “self-hating fill-in-the-blank” is thrown around a lot, but there’s got to be some kind of name for this.

Maxine Shaw, Attorney at Law. Guilty, innocent!

this rendition is outrageous

The last person I side-eyed in the gym was the girl listening to her music through her phone’s speakers.

I went back to 2009 and bought an iPod to use exclusively at the gym. I download the podcast I want to listen to and don’t have any apps other than Podcasts and Spotify. That way I can’t fuck around on instagram or any other time wasting shit. I don’t derail my workout and I don’t piss off other people by taking too…
