“Michelle – for the past twenty-five years, you’ve been not only my wife and mother of my children, but my best friend. You took on a role you didn’t ask for and made it your own with grace and grit and style and good humor. You made the White House a place that belongs to everybody. And a new generation sets its sights higher because it has you as a role model. You’ve made me proud. You’ve made the country proud.”
OK, but WE have all SORTS of compromising information about Donald Trump, and it hasn't had any damned effect yet, so...
On Tuesday, CNN released a report alleging that top U.S. intelligence officials believe Russia has a dossier of information about Donald Trump, including unverified allegations, BuzzFeed reports, that his campaign staffers were actively communicating with the Kremlin during the presidential election and descriptions…
You know that feeling when you get settled into your car, set your GPS to this new location, push play on your favorite song, and then your GPS interrupts it every 2 seconds to tell you how to get out of the neighborhood you’ve lived in for the last 15 years? That’s what mansplaining feels like.
I am so tired of these, LOOK AT ME I SPENT NO EXTRA MONEY type articles and books to come from privileged white people. Usually folks who will lose literally nothing from a year taken off from what she calls “luxuries”.
That’s the damned irritating part for me. That people like her see going to the movies once in a while, a take out dinner instead of cooking once in a while as luxuries. It’s not. Sometimes it’s self care, sometimes it’s a treat after holding out for a couple of months.
Stop the idea that every day activities are now luxuries. Me wanting to see a film now and then isn’t a luxury dammit. I hate, so fucking hate these articles and people who do this shit, then folks who don’t have much get these kinds of stories shoved in our faces with LOOK, THEY did without, why can’t you?
Oh you bought a coffee at Starbucks? I guess you’re not THAT bad off then?! Is what you’ll hear. But if we do the opposite and try to abstain from going out because its costly, the same damn people will turn around and go but it’s one night out,come on!
Black girls deserve to learn free from bias and stereotypes.
Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever.
National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.
It occurs to me that as much as “humans are the scary ones” fits sometimes, if you look at it another way, humans might seem like the absurdly friendly or curious ones.
I mean, who looked at an elephant, gigantic creature thoroughly capable of killing someone if it has to, and thought “I’m gonna ride on that thing!”?
And put a human near any canine predator and there’s a strong chance of said human yelling “PUPPY!” and initiating playful interaction with it.
And what about the people who look at whales, bigger than basically everything else, and decide “I’m gonna swim with our splashy danger friends!”
Heck, for all we know, humans might run into the scariest, toughest aliens out there and say “Heck with it. I’m gonna hug ‘em.”
“Why?!”
“I dunno. I gotta hug ‘em.”
And it’s like the first friendly interaction the species has had in forever so suddenly humanity has a bunch of big scary friends.
So i just came out to my dad abt being nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that.
How much a racist do you have to be, to be so willing to kill so many people to violate the first black president's legacy?
That whole repeal immediately, replace later thing—not going so well for Republicans. Paul Ryan admitted as much Tuesday morning, writes The Hill:
“It is our goal to bring it all together concurrently,” Ryan told reporters after meeting with House Republicans behind closed doors.
“We’re going to use every tool at our disposal through legislation, through regulation, to bring replace concurrent along with repeal, so that we can save people from this mess.”
In the GOP conference meeting, Ryan told his colleagues he expects the House will press forward and vote Friday on a Senate-passed budget that will start the process to repeal the Affordable Care Act. That’s despite calls from Freedom Caucus members for more details about how the repeal and replacement process would unfold.
Right, so Obamacare is such a “mess” that Republicans now can’t repeal it without a replacement? Naturally, he offered no details about replacement and called it a “Senate question.”
Ryan's Tuesday morning pronouncement comes after a chorus of Senate Republicans have voiced concerns that repealing the healthcare law without a replacement for the 20 million Americans insured by it would be reckless.

why are there so many posts about asexuals being immune to sirens. people. sirens don’t lure you in with sex (necessarily). they sing about whatever it is that you want most. they could sing about mothman or cinnamon toast crunch and guess what then your asexual pirate is fucking dead
this is the only kind of ace discourse i ever want to see on my dash. the only kind. ever again. good job
Do you think the sirens would be grateful that they finally get some variety?
“Oh my god we can finally just sing about pasta thank the fucking gods.”
I’m not asexual but I’m fairly certain sirens would do a far better job luring me into the depths with a song about pasta rather than sex…
I mean.
“WHAT THE FUCK STAY AWAY FROM THE ROCKS.”
“FUCKER THEY SAID THEY HAVE FETTUCCINE CARBONARA AND HOT GARLIC BREAD OVER THERE HANG ON BITCH.”
