Would Citizens Advice give actual legal advice, though? That is a big deal and major distinction. Here in the US, if you’re lucky enough to stumble onto a non-profit organization working against workplace harassment that’s interested in helping individuals in specific circumstances (as opposed to lobbying/organizing…

I don’t understand the tone of this article. This is fabulous. Being a free hotline service, I fail to see how the way it’s structured would favor white/wealthy women over others. If anything, marginalized women and femmes are MORE likely to take advantage of it, because they are less likely to have access to this…

Yep. A tired old riff on the tired old “I can’t be racist because I have a Black friend. See? Here’s a picture of us together [at a college party 15 years ago] as proof!!!”

ugh, i’ve done SO LITTLE reading this summer, and i have SO MANY amazing books piled up.

omg this looks so good

totally right. i didn’t realize this was basically her whole thing, and i made a stupid knee-jerk comment.

yeah, you’re right. that was a knee-jerk comment and it was dumb.

Yep yep yep.

Yeah, I get that. I think this just bumped on me as sort of overblowing something that was really tangential to her campaign, but I’m probably wrong about that.

Alright, totally fair points. I rescind my original outrage. :) I’m just irritated with all the airtime these dipshits get for their dumbass ideas. 

Williamson’s take is dumb, but the bigger question is WHAT THE FUCK DOES A PERSON’S CHOICE OF TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION HAVE TO DO WITH RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT??? I understand that opposition research will bring up dumb shit like this, and other candidates might want to bring it up for purposes of landing a zinger/making…

Yeah, I know. It’s just shocking to discover that someone who is supposed to understand basic science is such a fucking idiot. 

Jesus, how did he get through med school??

Jesus Christ, sending your kid to daycare doesn’t make a parent valueless, or that their role as a parent has been replaced. And that is obviously not what I was arguing. To insist that a parent is a bad parent, or a less loving parent or shouldn’t have become a parent (!!!) because they put their kid in daycare is…

You said you didn’t understand, which is usually code for “I disagree with people who do this thing,” but I gave you the benefit of the doubt and explained. Then you doubled-down on your original point, demonstrating that it wasn’t a matter of lack of understanding, it was, in fact, a matter of passing judgment on…

It truly boggles the mind.

You must be fun at parties.

oh. my. god. lolololololol

Well, as you say, many parents have no choice because they must have multiple incomes to sustain the household. So, we’ll leave them out of the equation.

Ha! John Mulaney has a great joke about that. That Donald Trump got his life plan while walking down a dark alley at night and accidentally overhearing a cartoon hobo talking to himself: “One day my number’s gonna come in! And I’ll have tall buildin’s with my name on ‘em! And I’ll have fiiiiine golden hair.”
