It’s never too late to realize you’re bisexual, and you don’t need to have experience with people of multiple genders, or anyone at all, to know that you’re bi. You don’t have to prove your sexuality to anyone, you knowing that you’re bi is enough.
Pro-lifers and terfs aren’t feminists pass it on
why do trans women need abortions though
Did I say they did?
Anyway pro-lifers and terfs aren’t feminists pass it on
Oh, this was something else. He damn near destroyed the man.
All that was missing was the mic drop.
No, really. It’s like a scene out of a popular, critically-acclaimed HBO drama series that ends up winning all the emmys in the end.
He fucking gutted the bastard.
That dude should run for President based solely on this video alone.
The rhetorical precision.
oh that build
I would love to use this in class to demonstrate the effect of passive voice (it has been reported) and the blend of rhetorical strategies in the final statement. Too bad my County would see it as a skewed lesson.
Anybody else get a definite Socratic feel from this?
Obliterated
The horrified stare the wife gives when she clutches her pears and realizes how utterly fucked Jeff is.
watching this was a great start to my day
It’s a very uplifting video. Someone is finally being held accountable for their blatant lies and corruption. You don’t see that too often in politics.
And it’s not like the dude is even getting angry with Sessions. He is perfectly calm, cold and rational. He came incredibly well-prepared.
I think the “You understand sir, that I get to ask the questions, you provide the answers in this capacity. You are no longer in the US senate” line was a little dramatic, but, you know, it was cool.
So I like it.
“Pearl clutching!” I’m screaming.
Every TV screenwriter and actor should study this.
It is better than anything you will see on House of Cards.
Holy green guacamole…
Decimated
I sat here vibrating with joy and it just kept getting better.
He’s POLITE. And Sessions is PANICKED and stuttering. A RACIST is being demolished by as black man who is being POLITE.
It literally doesn’t get more poetic than this. Shakespeare couldn’t have written this level of divine justice. The fucking classics wish they were this classic. The old gods are smirking down on this fucker right now, enjoying the human sacrifice that’s going down.
From now on, I will end every cool thing I ever say with: “I yield back.”
The most articulate version of “talk shit, get hit” I have ever heard
Provided that guy avoids any Al Franken-like scandals, he could be going places.
The charisma, sharpness and intelligence he displays here is truly something else.
The questioner is Congressman Hakeem Jeffries from the 8th district of New York.
(Begin transcript) Jeffries: Uh, Mr. Sessions, I have a copy of the transcript of your testimony before the Senate judiciary committee in October. You stated under oath “I don’t recall” in some form or fashion some 29 times. Is that correct? Sessions: I have no idea. Jeffries: I have a copy of the transcript of your testimony before the Senate intelligence committee in June. You stated under oath “I don’t recall” in some form or fashion approximately 36 times. Is that correct? Sessions: I don’t know. Jeffries: In your testimony today, you have said “I don’t recall” at least 20 times. Is that fair to say? Sessions: I have no idea. Jeffries: Now, on October 4 2016, during a TV interview with Lou Dobbs, you criticized Hillary Clinton for telling FBI investigators “I can’t remember” approximately 35 times. You also stated during that Lou Dobbs interview that the intentional failure to remember can constitute perjury. Mr. Attorney General, do you still believe that the intentional failure to remember can constitute a criminal act? Sessions: If it’s, uh, a, uh, act to deceive, yes. Jeffries: K. Now you testified in January that you had no contact with Russian operatives during the Trump campaign. Earlier today, you testified that your story has, quote, “never changed.” Is that correct? Sessions: (no response) Jeffries: That was your testimony earlier today? That your story has never changed. Correct? Sessions: I believe that’s, um, fair to say. We might- Jeffries: (talking over) Okay- Sessions: (talking over) -get, ehh, uh, we’ve added things that I did not recall at the time. Jeffries: Right, but I’m not- Sessions: (talking over) But my statement at the time was my best recollection of the circumstances, and, uh, I, as things are brought up, uh- Jeffries: Reclaiming my time. I understand. Sessions: All right. Jeffries: Sir, you now acknowledge, uh, meeting with Ambassador Kislyak during the Republican National Convention. Correct? Sessions: I remember I made a speech, he came up to me afterwards I was standing in front of the speaker (unintelligble) and, uh, did chat with him- Jeffries: (talking over) Okay, thank you, and you also- Sessions: (talking over) (unintelligible) not a meeting, it was just, uh, an, uh, encounter at that time. Jeffries: Okay, and you also, uh, met with the ambassador in September of 2016 in your office as you’ve acknowledged. Correct? Sessions: (talking over) Yes, for an appointment. I had two senior staffers, both full Colonels in United States Army, retired, in, in the meeting- Jeffries: (talking over) Now you testified- I’m sorry. You testified in June before the Senate intelligence committee that you had not heard even a whisper about possible Russian involvement in the Trump campaign. Yet we understand you attended this March 31, uh, meeting with George Papadopoulos, talked about potential communications with Russian operatives, uh, but also, according to your third quarter 2016 FTC filing, you hosted a Trump campaign dinner meeting on June 30 2016 at the Capitol Hill Club, is that right? Sessions: That’s correct. I was- Jeffries: (talking over) And your Senate reelection campaign paid for that meeting, is that right? Sessions: Uh, I, I think that may be so. Jeffries: Okay, and Carter Page and George Papadopoulos both attended that June 30 meeting, correct? Sessions: (hesitates) That has been reported. Jeffries: And at that meeting, Carter Page told you that the- that he was going to Moscow in a few days, is that right? Sessions: (hesitates) Yes. Jeffries: Okay. At- Sessions: (talking over) Uh, um, and he, um- Jeffries: (talking over) Thank you, thank you- Sessions: (talking over) He said it was a brief meeting as he was walking out the door, I don’t recall that conversation, but, uh, I’m not able to dispute it, and- Jeffries: Understood. Reclaiming my time, I’ve got limited, uh, time available- Sessions: (talking over) That is not, uh, did that establish a, uh, some sort of improper contact with Russians? Jeffries: (talking over) I think you understand, I think you understand that- Sessions: (talking over) He’s not Russian either, you know. Jeffries: (talking over) You understand, sir, I get to ask the questions, you provide the answers. In this capacity you’re no longer in the United States Senate. Uh, you voted in 1999 to remove Bill Clinton from office on charges of perjury, correct? Sessions: That is correct. Jeffries: And connected- Sessions: (talking over) Uh, there were other charges, I’m, I voted for impeachment, yes. Jeffries: (talking over) Simple- Simple question. Yes, I understand. To remove him, actually; impeachment’s in the House. In connection with that vote to remove President Clinton from office, you gave this speech on the Senate floor on February 29, 1999, and in it, you acknowledge, uh, that while serving as U.S. Attorney, you once prosecuted a young police officer who lied in a deposition. And in that speech, you decided to prosecute that young police officer even though he corrected his testimony. Now you’ve testified under oath before the Senate judiciary committee in January. You subsequently corrected that testimony in a March 6 written submission, and have been forced repeatedly to come back to the Senate and now the House to clarify. When explaining your vote on the Senate floor to remove Bill Clinton from office, you stated that you refuse to hold a President accountable to a different standard than the young police officer who you prosecuted. Let me be clear: The Attorney General of the United States of America should not be held to a different standard than the young police officer whose life you ruined by prosecuting him for perjury. I yield back.

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Butcher Billy got the idea of turning famous love hits into book covers of horror master Stephen King.
Joy Division’s “Love Will Tear Us Apart,” The Smiths, “Head Over Heels” by Tears For Fears and many others were portrayed in a very unusual way.
“This series imagines an alternate universe where some of the most desperate and tragic romantic songs in the ‘70s and’ 80s are actually books written by Stephen King. The concept is to look at the dark side of love by the vision of pop culture, bringing aspects of its classic stories to play the true meaning of the songs - this can be completely subverted or stressed strangeness, while paying tribute to the vintage design of the original covers,” Butcher writes on his Behance.

TAKE A LOOK AT THIS CREAM. TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK.
MEMORIZE THE PACKAGING SO YOU MAKE SURE YOU NEVER BUY THIS CREAM FOR YOURSELF OR ANYONE YOU LOVE.
This post is about vaginas. My vagina in particular. I get yeast infections pretty regularly, and until recently I was able to afford to see a doctor who could prescribe me fluconazole.
Fluconazole, a drug also known by the brand name Diflucan, is a small pink pill. You take two pills a few days apart from each other to restore balance and harmony to your bountiful folds. I’ve never ever had a bad side effect from taking this pill.
Cut to November 2016. I’m a recent college grad without reliable health care coverage in the process of finding a job. And I’m dealing with a yeast infection. Before I moved out of state, my previous doctor told me about Miconazole. She said it was as effective as the pill and hallelujah, it’s over the counter! I decided to purchase the cream pictured above. This treatment only lasted 3 days, a convenient time frame for my schedule.
The application process was a little messy, and some of the cream came in contact with my vulva and labia. Within 5 minutes every piece of skin that had come in contact with the cream, excluding my hands, was on fire. I wanted to scream it was so painful. I began frantically searching for what I should do online.
I found a whole forum of people on drugs.com who had experienced something similar. These comments saved me, and these were just on the first page. There were 33 pages total, the earliest dated July 2009.
I was writhing in pain at 2AM when I found this forum (which I found by searching “my vagina burn itch hurts after miconazole” on Google). As soon as I read these comments I threw the devil cream directly into the trash and jumped in the shower. I didn’t feel any actual relief until I reached in and scraped the cream out of me. I paid $17 plus tax on this bullshit, but I could have just as easily ripped up my money or paid someone to not hurt me.
The moral of the story is that vaginal health care is is completely fucked up because we don’t have access to an over the counter cure for yeast infections that is safe for our bodies and also YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY THIS CREAM EVER.
Reblog to save a vagina.
Okay so I used to get yeast infections every month after my period ‘cause my pH levels were fucked up or something (idk that’s what my doctor said) and I actually used to take this stuff and it was fine. Then a couple years down the road I had a yeast infection for the first time in ages and I used this again and it burned so bad I had to sit in the bath and like physically dig it out of my vagina
AND THEN I LEARNED THAT IT’S BECAUSE I DIDN’T HAVE A YEAST INFECTION. I had a bacterial infection, which is honestly pretty much identical to a yeast infection depending on the severity. The only difference is that IF YOU HAVE A BACTERIAL INFECTION AND TRY TO USE YEAST INFECTION MEDICATION IT WILL HURT
But it’s not actually the medication’s fault. The medication DOES do what it’s supposed to do, provided you’re actually suffering from a yeast infection. Chances are though that you and every one who commented on this did, in fact, have bacterial infections instead.
FORTUNATELY they also make over the counter tests so you can know if you need to call your doctor or just grab some yeast medicine off the shelf. Next time if you aren’t sure, pee on a stick and save yourself a world of fucking pain
AMEN.
It’s unfortunate that I’m 27 and never knew that last bit of information. The world of vaginal health is so obscure and inaccessible.
Reblogging because I too once found out the hard way that I had a bacterial & not yeast infection. 😑
I, too, once set my vagina aflame with miconazole. I didn’t know it was because of a bacterial infection. Reblogging to save a vag.

It’s almost like the shame and stigma thar surrounds vaginas is a danger to the health and well being of people who have vaginas.
remember how malia obama never tweeted incriminating emails of herself colluding with foreign powers. i miss that.
No she just smoked weed while being guarded by federal agents. But please. Keep acting like either side has a right to the moral high ground.
You’re really fucking stupid if you think a teenager smoking weed is comparable to a grown adult colluding with foreign powers to shift the election.
I mean, okay. But... It's a reality show. So you're going to want people to tune in. I don't buy this whole point Ru is trying to sell any more than I buy Phi Phi saying she was completely thrown under the bus. You can't edit what you aren't given, and you can't get ratings off boring shows. So I'm certain it's a mix of these truths.
miss fame speaks out about the gigi hadid & zayn malik vogue cover
but they complain when people from mexico try the whole moving somewhere else plan
Do you know how much goddamn money you have to save up to move you stupid fuckwagons
found it!
for those who don’t want to give it the clicks, there are 10 points.
move to an affordable city. because moving is free, and if you’re working a minimum wage job, you can totally just find another full-time job out of nowhere in the place you move to.
find a place to live that costs 600 dollars a month, utilities included. because, like, fuck you if you’ve got kids, you have any sort of accessibility needs, or you can’t have roommates for whatever reason.
eliminate your commute! did i mention that the 600 dollar a month apartment also has to be within biking distance of work? because you’re selling your car and biking everywhere, since bikes are apparently free now, so you can budget for no money being spent on transport per year! because, like, fuck you if your cheap city is also one where it rains or snows, or if you ever need to move things around or anyone in the house who needs to get around, or if you can’t physically bike, or anything like that.
cancel your cable! instead, get internet and netflix! this should add up to just 400 bucks a year somehow.
don’t eat out, unless you have dinner with the boss. boy, this article sure has its finger on the pulse of how minimum-wage jobs work! buy food in bulk! on your bike! that’s how anything works! if you don’t eat meat and only eat vegetables while they’re in season, your food costs should go down to 75 dollars a month. because, you know, fuck you if you have any sort of dietary needs that aren’t fulfilled by ramen.
you don’t need to eat every day, but don’t skip health insurance
shop at the thrift store! that’s right, it’s time for those poors to stop buying all those hermes bags and chanel dresses! thrift stores in small towns are usually very well-stocked, and you can reasonably expect to buy all the clothes you need for 100 dollars a year! because it’s not like people living on minimum wage tend to have jobs that will ruin their clothes or anything
for fun, do free shit! take your ramen out and eat it in the park! watch DIY videos on youtube! (but, like, don’t practice the skills or anything, since that costs money.) take a hike! call an old friend, using the phone that this guide hasn’t budgeted for! play old board games, because those are totally what you’re paying to move to your new cheap city!
invest all that sweet, sweet money you have left over, which you will, because you chose to have money, since that’s how anything works ever
invest in yourself! go to community college, for free! or make money on the side, by driving for uber on your bike, or selling the furniture we haven’t budgeted for you buying!
man i sure am sad that i chose to be broke and not follow these totally possible steps
im convinced these articles arent for poor people and never intended to be. Im pretty sure these articles are written for middleclass and rich people so they can assuage any guilt they might have “cant feel guilty for poor people if its their fault ya know.”
I really love [media property with a non-white lead], but, you know, I still have trouble connecting with [non-white lead] as a character. I’m not sure why. But [white character], [secondary white character], and especially [white character with three lines] are just so great! I love them!
ancient fandom proverb (via stardust-rain)
what y'all are not about to do is slander beyoncè for posting pictures of her babies when she suffered multiple miscarriages and stillbirths in the past
white women this post is for you
Are you seriously predicting that specifically white women are going to bitch about beyonces baby pics? Who the fuck cares about that Stay in your lane @weavemama you freak, no ones lives revolve around everything bey does and you don’t police the internet
white women have been tormenting beyonce about her pregnancy and babies ever since she announced it back in February, and now they continue to ridicule her for posting ONE PIC:
and this isn’t even all of it if we include all of the thinkpiece articles white women wrote about how terrible beyonce was for simply announcing her pregnancy, like this:
so yes, white women, this post is for you.
White women are the only ones who delude themselves to relate and twerk to “Formation” one second, and shit on Beyoncés existence the next.
Now how you like THAT @crystalgemwarriorem ❓
i know most of you know this, but for those who don’t, y'all need to realize that police aren’t out here to keep protestors safe, they’re out here to keep protestors contained
so date #2 with this girl. we had dinner. and laughed a lot. and I still like her. and we’re going to try to see roller derby at some point. and idk it’s nice to have someone to hang out with
