Ugh - can we not do this, at all, please? It's just a way for people to denigrate non-standard regional accents and dialects. I'll give you that there are some words we might pick up from reading & not realize the correct pronunciation for, but as soon as we start disparaging people who say "aks" instead of "ask," it…

Well, we can all agree thetans are real, right?

Censorship would be banning it. Criticizing it is just as protected as publishing it. And a lot of the strongest critics of the way women are portrayed in comics are avid comic book fans. So yes, we can talk about the way female superheroes are drawn.

I try to avoid the whole 'as a woman of color...' thing, but damn it, shit like this really bums me out sometimes, really fucking bums me out in a 'I want to curl up behind the couch and not move' kind of way, and I don't know how to deal with it. Most of the time you can ignore stuff like Vanity Fair and treat it as…

That's what makes this type of legislation complicated, I think. While I agree with you that GMOs present economic and ethical problems, rather than health problems, I don't think the average consumer thinks about those issues at all. Labeling GMOs is undoubtedly going to fuel scaremongering about GMOs being…

If anything that's a patent reform issue, not an FDA/food regulation issue.

I've never understood the anti-GM crowd. It has always just seemed like a more modern version of the previous selective breeding we've done with all the crops and domestic animals we already eat. Until someone can come up with a convincing study as to why GM crops are harmful, I think that we should push the…

Provided that "Non-GMO!" Isn't made to be a selling point to the gullible public (much like "all natural")

When you go into space, watch out for that damned sun. It's always moving around and getting in the way!

Do your part by calling out your friends male or female who shame victims, blame victims, think they were asking for it, make rape jokes, etc. Don't be silently judging a "friend" or acquaintance who does these things, say something, make them think, make them know it is NOT ok. Most rapists seem "normal" and are…
