- #janetmock Not sure what happens from here. #glaad keeping up the pressure is great. But I'm so mad.
- @JeffProbst One of the best seasons ever!! But also: if Colton comes back I won't watch. Important difference between "villain" and racist.
- #janetmock I'm trying to get a response from the Times editors I know. Thanks for taking point. I am doing what I can too. #girlslikeus
- So one candidate wants to recognize my marriage? The other wants to hold me down, cut my hair, and humiliate me? Wow, what a tough choice.
