You should tweet this at Wintour and Vogue. And maybe TMZ for funsies. Assuming you already have zero chance of ever being invited and have nothing to lose.

What I feel like I hear you saying is more women should carry babies they don’t want so that more families like yours can adopt children. Is that your intent?

I have mixed feelings about putting an independent group in charge of investigating service members. Unless the group consists of other servicemembers (but ideally ones completely outside the perpetrator and victim’s chain of command - really, ppl they don’t know at all), I worry that investigating and trials will…

I do not think that ppl with noxious points of view should be barred from public speaking, though I broadly believe that no one has to provide a venue or medium to them. I waffle a bit on whether public venues like public colleges have some obligation to permit such people to speak. On the one hand, free speech…

One can dream.

Same question. Shopping for clothes on Amazon makes me want to throw my laptop off a bridge. It’s impossible to filter out all the extra cheap nonsense, the color and style filters work poorly. It’s like someone took the contents of PacSun, Charlotte Russe, Forever 21, Macy’s, Goodwill, EBay, and your college…

Yeah, I was on their side until I saw that it was during the school day. Then even more outraged that there’s not even an alternative class for kids that opt out.

I hear you and I’m not disagreeing that this guy deserves all the jail time. If she were my kid, I’d be begging the persecutors to do everything they could to send him away.

In short, people who “pass” tend to know what their race actually is and not condescend to people who find them out by suggesting those people just aren’t smart enough to understand the passer’s true race. Passing as white isn’t the same as being white - because if you’re found out, you know and expect that there will…

Seats. Seats. Seats. Have several.

You have an opinion, to which you’re entitled. However, at least in theory, surveys are always optional. While individual teachers or schools may hold something over kids’ heads to get them to complete them, the surveyors have literally no leverage over the random children of Utah. Further, and again, there’s no…

I think the financial hit will happen, but won’t be massive. A large number of air travelers choose flights primarily by cost and schedule, with opportunities for miles/bonus points sometimes figured in. I suspect that if United can keep their prices competitive, many travelers will still book.

Missouri is rife with really unfortunate approaches to housing law. It’s the only place I’ve ever lived where renters have to get an occupancy permit separate from whatever the landlord gets, and can face fines and arrest if the police happen to stop by and find people not on the permit.

I’m not entirely sure you can easily sue for money in the situation you’ve described. Both the landlord and the police will likely be protected by “just following the law as written - it’s not our job to decide if the law is good or not.” While you can sometimes get money from governments for violations of laws, a…

Pretty sure that A. Kendall will work again, and B. half of America already saw her as a laughing stock.

A. As a researcher, I can tell you that in any well done survey study, the surveys are anonymous. Numbers on them don’t help us to figure out who completed them, they just help us keep track of the surveys themselves. How on earth would some random statistician or data entry clerk know that JRW had survey 100876?

I think that may be what she’s getting at with “dresses differently,” as in does not confirm to cis gender standards in their appearance. I agree that it’s not the most clear, and could have been better - and will likely result in this all being re-adjudicated because some idiot employer will claim (correctly, but…

You really answered your own question. They’re assholes, of the absolutely worst kind.

There are clinics in southern Illinois. Just fyi in case you or a friend need one. Shorter drive for many.

Not all jobs just allow you to take a couple days off. Many wage jobs expect you to work the schedule you’re given, not take sick days, and provide a doctor’s note if you must take sick days. Abortion clinics will certainly give you a note for your procedure day, but if you’re stuck in a random city for a couple days…
