Different republicans are voting no for different reasons it turns out. It's fine to just tell them what you actually think. Jamie Herrera Beutler of SW washington state for example, is mad about the loss of coverage for kids on medicaid. (or so …

meta: That FuckTheory person blocked me on twitter for AGREEING with them! They tweeted something and I was like: "yeah! that resonates with my experience" and then they tweeted something nasty at me and blocked me! And then I saw in their bio…

I agree with Mike that there was communication failure. For example, I can only speak for myself, but my comments were not in any way "taking issue" with your statement that the conversation needs to include racism. Perhaps you intuited that I was…

I agree with that, with the addition that I'm really just not into white people talking about how much better at anti-racism they are than their peers. I want to hold my friends accountable, but I don't want to lapse into ego exercises or presume t…

I definitely did not say "don't demonize racists", but I am ashamed that I didn't call out the "bitch" language, because I didn't see it. Tbh, i was skimming Thor's posts because I was bored with his perspective.

good data-based case that white people have actually gotten more racist https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2016/11/16/the-education-gap-among-whites-this-year-wasnt-about-education-it-was-about-race/?utm_term=.1458d3328409 https://ww…

oh my mother in law is great, she just is losing her mind.

And I also want to name & recognize the pitfall of performative white anti racism, a corny theatrical thing which is self-congratulatory and again way too individual focused, like bad monologues about individual feelings and journeys where we ne…

Well I sorta thought I was "doing that" right there in a low key way. but sure yeah I will make it explicit. I have a lot of work I need to do to purge implicit bias from my brain and to confront racist power structures and reckon with my complic…

I liked Patton Oswalt in Ratatouille but that's about it. Hey one thing that I think is really helpful, in addition to saying "that's racist" or "you're racist" is saying "I'm racist". If white people don't build the figure of the mythological Rac…

Not recommended: nog flavored Kefir. Tastes like the time my mother in law let the nog go bad but then served it anyway.

Yeah, saying people can't be racist because they voted for Obama, is like when the awful director of the video for Blurred Lines told me she can't be racist because she dated a black guy once.

This is very persuasively argued http://www.newsweek.com/myths-cost-democrats-presidential-election-521044

Oh my god, Bernie would have been crushed.

When I say it's important to look at the full range of factors, I don't think it diminishes the importance of any of them, and white supremacy in particular undergirds so many of the various responses from the voter side as well as the tactics on th…

I miss Joey a whole lot. I've been listening to her music this week for the first time since she got sick. It helps. I think it's a mistake to blame the loss on any one factor. Misogyny, white supremacy, tactical missteps, decades of republica…

"No one knows for certain how we deal with this new race with and against machines, but I can assure you it’s not Trump’s way — build walls, restrict trade, give huge tax cuts to the rich. The best jobs in the future are going to be what I call “STE…

I just listen to Landing. I got the full discography for $40 on bandcamp. 70s-80s minimalism is a good call too.

I'm at the beach and I miss my cat terribly. Like I want to go home a day early.

Agreed about Superiority Burger. If I feel like some out-there improv music, I checkout what's happening at The Stone. Like right now Mary Halverson has a residency! Woah! Shows are usually $10.

Also, delivering a mattress by bike is adorable.

If that's true, it probably means I'm Gary.

What if I go to the Casper showroom when next I am in NYC? Is that weird?

Our current thing is an Ikea, but we're 5 years in and it's not what it used to be. I guess that's normal though because the lifespan is supposed to be like 7-10 years. There's all these internet mattress companies, some of which Consumer Reports …

Definitely the right one for us. Hilariously we just found out it has Radon! but not our problem. The seller is required to remediate at their expense. Thanks EPA or whatever!
