Are you ready for that dose of righteous anger? Cool. Here we go. First, today's videos. Yay! Orphan Black is back!
Literary/Entertainment: Nancy Reagan Turned Down Rock Hudson’s Plea For Help Nine Weeks Before He Died. I was a teen when all of that shit went down. I remember it well. It was an awful time in American History. And if there is any doubt that business thought and medicine are not compatible watch And the Band Played On. 14 older women rocking awesome hair (and proving that 'cool' has no age limit) Thanks for that, Serret!

With Global Warming looming--I would say ahead, but it's already here--we need all the best and brightest minds working toward solutions. Humanity can no longer afford this shit. DEAR WHITE PEOPLE: HERE’S 10 WAYS TO TELL IF A BLACK PERSON ACTUALLY LIKES YOU​. When Your Spouse Feels Like Your Mom and Doesn't Want to Bang You. And on speaking at a Catholic University and Censorship: Acts of Faith. Okay. This next link is awesome and yet at exactly the same time a perfect example of the "if women (or any minority) are 30% of a group, they are perceived as a majority. The Women Take Over. And Something Just Got In The Way Of Abortion Opponents’ Favorite Talking Point. The Facts. My Gen X Hillary problem: I know why we don’t “like” Clinton.
