Celebrity culture was a mistake.

Yes. Yes, it does.

I know of two people who were surrogates for others. The people who they carried for were middle class. I know people take out loans and there are other ways to finance a surrogate.  I’ve never explored it with regard to insurance, but there may be companies that include surrogacy as part of fertility coverage.

I’m fascinated by the concept of surrogacy in general, which seems pretty out of reach for couples who aren’t mega-wealthy

However at my job an acquaintance has a kid who is brilliant. 36 ACT, top of the class, chess champion, and they’re Asian decent. He was worried that his kid wouldn’t get into Harvard because so many Asian kids have the exact same scores and they limit based on race. Kid ended up getting in but the fear is not

Most of them don't even have particularly impressive GPAs. You get to hear someone complain about the conspiracy to keep them out of MIT with their stellar 3.2.

Welp, now “grooming” is now another word that has completely lost its meaning

5 bucks say Thomas comes back on this. Dude is notorious for holding grudges for decades about shit. His former pages told that Thomas was directly quoted as wanting to shoot down anything and everything Democratic after the Anita Hill hearings purely out of spite.

I’m feeling the same way. Yes, the oversharing, and reaching out to young fans is inappropriate, and kind of gross. But is it grooming if there isn’t an intent of action?

Every overentitled white idiot who thinks their GPA should automatically get them into the college they like is still going to scream about how it’s totally affirmative action, but now it’s SECRET affirmative action. Delightful.

It’s amazing how bad the court has become since the majority flipped. I still remember screaming (not literally) at my friends a family how important 2016 was and that the court be fucked for a generation if Trump won. 

I am an old, so I am not familiar with her work, or this controversy.

Fuck Uncle Thomas. Talk about permanent victimhood. He benefited from affirmative action, and has spent his entire career trying to destroy it because some racist white people insulted him over it. His response to white supremacy isn’t to try to root it out (which affirmative action does) it’s to embrace it to further

This Court has been nothing short of a horror show of ethically flawed behavior and a dystopian interpretation of the Constitution and its application to everyday life.

That is simply not true, cis women with mastectomies have been the subject of negative attention since well before most people outside of LGBT spaces had an understanding of trans men or gender affirming surgeries. I know a woman in her 70s who got her breasts removed at 40 and has been harassed this whole time.

They likely pull a Newt Gingrich and have the divorce papers delivered to the hospital while they’ve already moved on to another woman.

Liv is an amazing performer and I’m glad they are doing what brings them happiness and a better piece of mind.

Transphobes are getting more open and bold about their hate and not pretending it’s about women and children’s safety and fairness in sports.

Or dick enlargement surgery, or pec and ab implants, or any of the innumerable ways people surgically enhance themselves to conform to traditional gender conventions. None of that is “mutilation.”

It’s funny how the world doesn’t express such disgust when women choose breast implants to feel more feminine.
