Clothes and Buttons

Biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written

Did you know Hallmark sells “Troubled Relationship” cards??

I’d be so damn good at writing those cards. 

  • “Sorry I refused to acknowledge the way the way that patriarchal bullshit made it so that you will always be less secure financially than I am and how even if we are married and stuff, I could still leave you and ultimately fuck you over because LOL thanks for supporting me in my career while you put yours on the backburner LOL”
  • “We should be proud of how we handled that stupid situation I created by not managing my friendships with members of the opposite sex better” 
  • “The way you touch me is not really thrilling but it’s better than being touched by some stranger and I’m too lazy to start over with someone new, ergo, I love you” 
  • “I’m pretty sorry about how all the hard grunt work/endpoint responsibility/financial fallback of raising children falls to you, but, like, that’s the way it is, so love me anyway!”

Ahaha you really are the best at that!

Some Native Americans Not 'Indian Enough' For Health Care

apihtawikosisan:

SAN FRANCISCO — When Liz DeRouen needs any kind of health care services, from diabetes counseling to a dental cleaning, she checks into a government-funded clinic in Northern California’s wine country that covers all her medical needs. Her care and the medical services for her children and grandchildren are paid for as part of the government’s treaty obligations to American Indian tribes dating back nearly a century.

Holy shit, this is HUGE, and the first time I’ve heard about this!

Whoa
