Why wouldn’t you watch a show because there’s no POC in it? Do you watch shows without physically disabled people featured? Or sexual minorities? Or religious minorities? If so, how do you justify watching those shows but not shows without POC?

you know, you can still enjoy a show even if you have an issue with the representation in it....

You joke, to me though, this is why we need more safe spaces.

I feel like I’m from Portland. Like, emotionally.
But, no, I’ve never actually been there.

I was such a weird little germaphobic kid I once shouted, “is this Christmas or a herpes convention?”

That is the worst part of this whole thing.

I saw this last night, and it blew me away-

I guarantee that you have heard men use vocal fry. It’s not unique to women. We just learn, in our culture, to come up with reasons to dismiss women’s speech. And it’s hardly the case that saying “like” a lot and using uptalk are inherently bad habits. That would be making the same mistake as chastising women for not…

Exactly this. The seat stays down because you close it before flushing.

As a bonus, keeping the lid down prevents animals from getting water everywhere or jumping in dirty water before you get to flush it.

No. The lid always goes down. There is a lid for a reason, and that reason is to contain microscopic bacteria that spew all over the place when you flush the toilet. That is the only correct answer.

I dunno, I think I’d advise against most decisions (including switching to monogamy) that required an “ocean of red wine” to reconcile oneself too.

I cringed so hard my face has permanently collapsed onto itself.

Did you not see Edge of Tomorrow? Tom Cruise is out of the doghouse.

  I wish people would stop comparing being transgender to this. Gender is a socially constructed arbitrary concept. Race is not! I don’t think the woman is bad. But I think she posed as a black person to obtain the job. And just kept it going. But why? You don’t have to be black to work at the NAACP.Lik…
