Mind over anus.

i know it’s against the law to run from the police but if he was pleading with the police officer to just let him shit first and then he’ll go ahead with speeding ticket, shouldn’t the cop just be like, “okay, i’ll follow you and i’ll be waiting.”

A few weeks ago I was walking my dog home from a friend’s house and felt the urgent call of nature. My dog, on the other hand, felt the need to stop every six inches and smell every plant and befriend every other dog we encountered. IT WAS SWEATY, TENSE AGONY.

“The fraudulent sales and the fraudulent cover-up are really two sides of the same coin.”

If you’re a grown man, and you concern yourself with buying garments that have been worn by grown men who are not you, then you are a huge fucking nerd and you deserve whatever garbage you get tricked into buying.

There are great statistics on the education of women and better well-being outcomes. All of those scenarios assume a little bit of culturally granted agency. I can’t imagine how education would have helped the these women.

I believe Malala Yusafsai was entirely correct when she told Obama that investing in education for girls would have been far more of an efficient method of combating terrorism than the drone program, or the support of rival fighter groups.

Spurgeon Seewald. I mean.

I will never understand the decision to name a child Spurgeon. These people make a shitload of poor choices, but this might take the cake.

Frankly, that shows more cognitive ability than the license plate above.

I would seriously have to rear end any car in front of me with that plate.

Fantasy writer writing an entirely fictional reality to explain real world events in a fictional, alternate manner is criticized when her representation of a culture is fictional.

That’s straight up colonialism/appropriation.

The idea that authors should not take inspiration from other cultures and beliefs seems so limited to me. For centuries authors have been inspired by cultures that aren’t ‘theirs’. If a brilliant and wildly popular non-Native American author wants to write a fictionalised or semi-fictionalised or ‘inspired by’ story…

The Mormons literally did the exact same thing....Ms. Rowling, thankfully, admits her work is fiction.

no win situation for her here. If she completely ignores or marginalizes native americans in her story, she’s wiping them out of history. if she tries to incorporate them in a meaningful way, well this happens.
