I know this is dumb and petty of me, and is the LEAST of the problems with Ms. Bony Carrot, but does she wash her hair with Dawn or something?! Like, are conservative dudes so desperate to call any thin white conservative woman “beautiful” that this is considered elegant?

Same here!

I’m honestly not surprised by the Del Rey thing - she’s always come across as a bit of a self-centered jerk.

Right? I understand the impulse to assume 45 is lying, but people are giving him WAY too much credit when they construct these elaborate theories. He’s an idiot and a bully who defaults to bluster and just doubles down on whatever dipshit narrative he likes that day.

This is depressingly absolutely correct.

The sheer stress and misery of so many American lives is a HUGE reason for the obesity epidemic. The need for some comfort is a big factor in people’s food choices, and the systemic failures of our society seriously drive that.

The most heavily armed folx I know are leftist AF. We just don’t yell about it.

YUP. They’re exploiting the pain and fear of survivors to fuel their horseshit, and in doing so THEY ACTIVELY DETRACT FROM THE PEOPLE DOING REAL WORK TO COMBAT CSA AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING. I’m sorry that this poster suffered, if they did, but their take is honestly pretty bad.

Joan is legit the worst writer on this site. Occasionally she does good work, but it’s so rare that I usually only click on her stories by accident anymore.

Yep. Internalized misogyny is real.

Yeah, there’s a weird tendency to get really misogynistic about Jolie, even from people who decry it in other circumstances. I don’t know what it is, but it really bugs me.

Probably deliberate - the NYPD Police Union is absolute garbage.

Liver in general is a good source of vitamin A - I vaguely recall Polar Bear liver being super-high, but I’m not totally sure.  :)  I actually did a lot of reading about arctic diets as they relate to fertility and adaptation to low light levels, and wrote a pretty hefty paper for a class on it.

Oh, definitely, but you have to eat, well, like the Inuit. Lots of meat fat, organ meats, and everything has to be raw or super-rare. Lean meats will send you into “rabbit starvation” pretty quickly, even aside from plain old scurvy.

Fake Lizardo is on a tear right now, too. That guy has waaaaay too much time on his hands.

To Teyuna: I dismissed your reply because, frankly, you’re coming across as very tone-policing, and I believe you’re mischaracterizing what FeministOnFire is saying. I think there’s a LOT of rightful anger and suspicion from Black folks, and right now is the time to listen.

While WOM has had its uses, I imagine, I was much happier with the protests where Black and POC had made arrangements with white accomplices where they could call for a “white shield”, and ONLY then, white accomplices would rush in to put their bodies between protesters and cops. Our privilege should be weaponized FOR…

Yes, *one* (super-questionable) survey showed that Native folks weren’t offended by it. Plenty of others have shown that they very much are, and all the Native folks I know really hate it. It’s not the most important thing, no, but it’s an ethnic slur, and making it less normalized is still good. We just have to make…

This is so godsdamn perfect that I hope a tabloid editor somewhere is weeping because they didn’t think of it first.

Right?! By all accounts, he’s actually a pretty nice guy who enjoyed his time in the military. The tabloid press KILLED HIS MOTHER. Why would he be particularly motivated to stay?
