Key West elected Teri Johnston, Florida’s first openly lesbian mayor

New York elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress

Colorado elected Jared Polis, the first openly gay governor in the US

Minnesota elected Ilhan Omar, the first Muslim woman (alongside Rashida Tlaib) and the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress

Massachusetts elected Ayanna Pressley, the first black woman elected to Congress in Massachusetts

Kansas elected Sharice Davids, an openly gay ex-MMA fighter and one of the first Native American women (alongside Deb Haaland) elected to Congress

Michigan elected Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian-American (and first Muslim woman, alongside Ilhan Omar) elected to Congress

Kentucky elected Nima Kulkarni, the first Indian-American elected to Kentucky House of Representatives

New Mexico elected Deb Haaland, one of the first Native American women (alongside Sharice Davids) elected to Congress

New Hampshire elected Chris Pappas, the first openly gay member of Congress from New Hampshire

Florida elected Anna Eskamani, the first Iranian-American state lawmaker in Florida

And for the first time ever, over 100 women have been elected to the House of Representatives.

Representation matters. Diversity matters. This is progress.

honestly man i just want someone to want me. to text me. to use a simple situation as an excuse to touch me. i want someone to think about me when they go to sleep and to tell me exactly that. i want someone to flirt with me, to ask me out. to hold my hand. i want someone to call me in the middle of the day, if for no other reason, because they felt like it. i just want someone i want to want me back.

Ok so imagine your fantasy setting with your typical giant spiders.

Ok, now imagine that these spiders have largely been domesticated for their incredibly valuable silk. They help make clothes, rope, textiles, even ARMOR. They’re almost treated like carnivorous cows in the regions that can support them. They might even name these girls the classic names like “Bessie”. They’re great mothers and produce many young; useful for trade and… even food if you like The Crunch.

People in this world are hardly afraid of big spiders the same as we’re hardly afraid of big dogs. Wary of wild ones, but not scream and cry terrified. Smaller spiders…it depends. Would you be scared if you suddenly saw a tiny cow crawling on your wall? The only type of spider people collectively fear are the hunting types: the ones that don’t spin webs, and instead attack their prey with brute force and a much stronger venom.

These large domestic spiders are incredibly lazy. They’ll sit in their webs and wait for their handlers to put their food on the web. Unless you get tangled, they don’t see you as food. This makes them great guards as well. They build traps for you. The venom isn’t deadly to humans…but can still be used as a weapon or in medicine. They’re just so damn useful that millennia ago, people put aside their instinctual fear just to get those sweet benefits.

Thank you for attending my TedTalk.

That whole “glass him” meme has gotten me wondering: exactly which objects can you describe striking someone with simply by verbing the object?

You can club someone with a club or knife them with a knife, but confusingly, spearing is often reserved for implements other than spears, and if you propose swording someone with a sword you’ll just sound like a buffoon.

On the projectile side, you can certainly gun a person down with a gun, but you can’t just plain gun them, and arrowing is right out.

If you’re unarmed, you can boot a person but not foot them, and it’s only fisting if they enjoy it.

Are there rules in play here? Is it based on euphony? Or is it totally arbitrary?

A few collected observations from the notes and responses:

You can egg someone with an egg, but you can’t potato them with a potato (anonymous)

Braining someone means striking them in the head, not with a head (@trappedinavelociraptor)

On a related note, you can butt a person with your head, but not head a person with your butt (@alwaysaprice)

You can clock someone with a clock, though the two senses of the word are unrelated; to clock means to strike the face, not to strike with a clock (@just-nopi)

You can stone a person with stones, but only if you have more than one (@headspace-hotel)

hot take: jake peralta is bi and john mulaney plays his ex boyfriend from high school in season six of brooklyn nine-nine

john mulaney plays a rockin’ twink

John Mulaney: *to himself* What would Leonard Bernstein do?

Captain Holt: *to Jake, quietly* I support your and Amy’s relationship with my whole heart but why on earth would you give up a man like that

I don’t even go here (just like… my toes) and I want this, specifically with all these tages from @bosstoaster

#The episode would be Amy getting jealous not of John and Jake but that he has so many interests in common with Holt#So she spends the whole time trying to win back the Captain#Meanwhile Rosa is on a warpath at Jake#Because she told HIM about her sexuality and stuff and had EMOTIONS#And he didn’t tell HER#How DARE he

“look, it’s not like i hid anything, it just never came up!” 

“You called yourself out for ‘straighsplaining’“ 

the whole bi thing goes completely over charles’ head and he keeps getting really aggro like “oh you and jake were real close huh?? too bad, sucker jake is MY best friend!” 

everybody else is like “charles no” 

at the end john mulaney turns out to be the embezzler they’ve been looking for

👊🏼progress doesn’t happen overnight, and you guys showed up massively, even if not everything went ideally! besides electing a whole crop of diverse candidates, there were many, many important gains in criminal justice reform and other ballot measures. many high-profile candidates may not have won, but it’s very clear they got several down-ballot candidates elected through their coattails. 

over the past two years, i have admittedly also become tired of the endless negativity by some folks whom i may share similar political views with, but whom do nothing except criticise, demand ideological purity and sometimes even completely refuse to vote on that basis (despite not themselves facing any problems with voter suppression). progress is very often frustratingly incremental but starting one step at a time no matter how hard it looks is exactly how it’s done. having been in the trenches myself, it is essential to face these issues with a realistic assessment of the difficulties—but balanced with cautious optimism that what you do can make a difference. apathy and disengagement only protects the status quo. voting matters, you did your part and even if not everything is fixed overnight, you guys have taken that important step forward. fight on!

Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.

pisses me off that this is considered a radical statement.

So I should be able to move into one of the midst densely populated cities, say LA or New York, flip burgers for a living and all of a sudden i should just be allowed to have a $2000/ month apartment to boot?

Do cities have restaurants that employ food service workers? 

Is there a McDonalds in LA or New York? 

@vanderlyle-crybaby-geek

Maybe the cost of living shouldn’t be as high

@fandomsandfeminism

What does that question even mean?

The cost of living isn’t high. Move to Kansas.

What does the question mean? Does McDonalds have a resteraunt in LA?

If yes (which, yes, duh) then those employees should be paid enough to live in LA. If McDonalds doesnt want to pay employees enough to survive in LA, then McDonalds cant REALLY afford to operate in LA ethically.

idk why this is such a hard concept to understand.

I’m sorry I am sick of people acting like minimum wage jobs like McDonalds are for lazy people and are easy and that means the people who work them are lazy and don’t deserve a full living wage or respect. 

Can you remember off the top of your head everything on a constantly changing menu and how to prepare it in under 3 minutes, accounting for changes in that recipe for people who ask for it differently? Can you do it with 100s of orders coming in every minute and balance your time properly so all of them come out on time and hot? Can you stand for 9-10 hours a day with only a short unpaid break dealing with hoards of people who are likely to be rude to you for no reason? Can you get screamed at for no reason after a 10 hour shift and not cry or yell back or even stand up for yourself because if you do it’s bad service? Can you lift upwards of 40lbs of stock over and over all day without hurting yourself? Can you get a horrible hot oil burn, slap a bandage on it and keep working? Can you work odd or constantly changing hours, on weekends and holidays, that mean you don’t have a lot of free time and cannot get a regular sleep schedual? Can you do it while going to school full time? Or caring for a family? 

Can you do it all for $7.25 an hour? For no benefits? No paid time off? No sick pay? The people working at McDonalds and Burger King and the restaurants and movie theaters and coffee shops are not lazy teenagers trying to make some extra spending money. They are hard working people who are trying to make a better life for themselves and their families and that deserves a full, living wage and benefits and RESPECT. And if you don’t think that then you should stop going to those places. 

And what about small businesses? Ones who can’t afford to pay that much? 

“If McDonalds doesn’t want to pay employees enough to survive in LA, then McDonalds cant REALLY afford to operate in LA ethically.”

If you cannot afford to pay your employees a living wage, then you CANNOT AFFORD TO OWN A BUSINESS. Simple as that. 

And there is no reason for the CEO of McDonalds to make upwards of 7 million dollars in a year(x), while his employees can barely afford to eat. 

THIS!!! I’ve had a lot of jobs in my time on this earth and by FAR the hardest were the ones that paid the least. “Flipping burgers”, waitressing, factory work and retail etc are fucking hardcore.

Resting Space

You know those times when you hear a certain song, or a specific smell wafts by, or something familiar you see suddenly throws you into nostalgia? To one of those rarer times where things were just right. So that suddenly you find yourself in a state of contentedness. Not necessarily happy or sad, but a sort of peace with yourself. A space for your mind to rest. That’s one of those feelings that brought this little lady to life. More specifically: a song called “Elisabeth” by E I S U
