reasons why Halloween is the best holiday:

  • you are not obligated to visit your relatives
  • you are not obligated to get gifts for anybody
  • people will give you candy for absolutely no reason other than it’s Halloween
  • it’s the only day of the year when it’s socially acceptable to go out in public dressed as a penguin

I finally understand about Americans and Halloween

The second girl at least read the book to confirm that it was shit, she even had Capote on deck as backup. Chick 1 is just lazy

Nope. Girl 2 saw that Girl 1′s absolutely accurate analysis was being shut down just because it wasn’t stated in an intellectual way (in spite of its validity). So Girl 2 reinforced Girl 1′s opinions in solidarity and made sure that it was absolutely clear that Girl 1 was factually correct. WITHOUT taking credit for her observations (”kim is right” instead of “Actually, kim”)  

Girls supporting Girls. 

Girls not letting other girls be treated poorly.

If you read thirty pages of a book and hate it, that’s a good analysis. Girl 1 literally said, “It sucked for these reasons, and I only got through 30 pages.” She was absolutely paying attention and trying to get it. But if all you get is a headache, fuck that book.

I love this exchange

hot take: immigrants don’t need to love this country or swear loyalty to it to “deserve” to live here. they don’t need to work harder than anyone else, they can sit at home if they want, and they’re allowed to take full advantage of whatever healthcare or education any citizen has access to. they pay the same taxes, they own the same property, they created support systems and histories and entire lives here. that’s all that should matter.

there is no more anti-american a thug than a red-hatted anglo anchor great-great-grandbaby. their ancestors formed huge organized gangs to harass and rob the lawful residents of this country into near-extinction. they made a virtue of slavery and genocide, and passed the stolen wealth of their conquest down to each new generation of lazy, godless parasites. egregious tax-evading welfare leeches sucking the country dry and giving nothing back but material for late night monologues on television.

the latest generation of said parasites are still calling refugees and immigrants dangerous, lawless, lazy and subhuman, but historically, they have zero problem with any of these qualities.  it’s just that they have already called dibs on all of them.

if these fuckers can be Americans, so can anyone who has less blood on their hands and less loathing for their fellow human beings. the bar for being a deserving American is so low they had to bring in special drills to dig the hole to put it in.

a golden retriever wearing a suit jacket could pass that bar. a pet rock that has never been thrown in anger. a pet rock that HAS been thrown in anger. a weird leaf. air from my lungs. fucking anything. just show up. and if you’re not a leaf, please also vote if you are able.
