The Rapture...
So… it’s rapture day folks. And, I’m still here. :( I’m guessing it’s because of the drinking, smoking, swearing, cavorting and rock’n’roll music of my unrepentant (and somewhat hazy) youth.
There has been no apocalyptic cataclysm around my house. Nothing. Nada. *sigh* I guess this means I have to mow the lawn after all.
In retrospect… I probably...

fsufeminist:
Despite recent speculation that all of Trump’s birther talk might be alienating people of color, he confidently declared in an interview this morning: “I have a great relationship with the blacks, I’ve always had a great relationship with the blacks.”

Gay woman seeking asylum needs help
Fundamental human rights apply to us all, not just those who are similar to us or who share our beliefs. I have little doubt this young woman would face severe persecution if she were to return to her homeland.
I don’t know how effective signing a petition will be to help her in her struggle, but it is the least I can do to help a fellow human being in their time of need. I hope you will...

equalitymyth:

“There are three types of women in the Army,” says Rebecca Havrilla, a former sergeant and explosive-ordnance-disposal technician. “Bitch, dyke, and…
