This is exactly what drove me into skepticism. I was 16 when it came out, and loved a lot of these mysteries and such. And I remember telling people how amazing this movie was because it was real. And then I found out that all the “documentaries” were fake and it pissed me off.  I felt like an idiot.  Because they…

He’s an old white dude. That’s why he didn’t know or care how it affected young POC.

Seriously, dude, just direct porn.  That seems to be what you want to do.  Just be honest about it instead of trying to direct porn on the sly.

I have HSV-2 and am on Valtrex. I’m also a woman, which makes transmission chances incredibly low. I have had casual condomed sex without disclosure, but then you have to disclose if it goes somewhere. That ended a potential relationship for me (which I completely understood.) However, I did that with another guy, and…

I’m confused.  If this is a sequel to a movie that restores her to a person defending herself and taking control of her fate against the really evil people, why is the movie called “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil?”  Does she turn evil in this movie?  Because the first movie clearly made her not evil.

Unless you’ve been the victim of murder, you have no place to compare your experience with being murdered.

I got a call the other day that began “Dear Citizen” and then started to inform me that they were calling from some government agency.  Sure.  “Dear Citizen.”  Sound legit.

Using the basis of “bringing me joy” as a reason to get rid of stuff would not work for me.  I have a ton of clothes that I have gotten rid of that I don’t wear but I liked and brought me joy.  I’d never get rid of anything because literally everything I own brings me joy.  That pair of jeans that I haven’t fit into…

Ah yes, another entry in the eternal story of “when women do it, it’s frivolous and stupid, when men do it, they’re changing the world.”  Also, another entry into “tech-bros pretend they invented something that people have been doing for thousands of years.”  These people exhaust me.

My parents were out at a dinner party/fundraising type thing and when they talked to the host a few days later, found out that it went well except that one table left without paying.  They were horrified to find out that it had been their table!  They had left cash, and someone had walked off with it.  They went back…

This would read way more sincere if she hadn’t insisted originally that she was right and that the child was being trafficked and they were waiting for the dude who bought the kid to get off the plane.  That’s a huge narrative to build around this.  

Eh, my GSA troop did all the camping and survival and outdoorsy stuff. It really depends on where you are and what your troop leader decides to do and your region, since I get the sense that each region has a different number of camping excursions and such.

But the organization still excludes atheists and can exclude LGBTQ+ people, so I wouldn’t exactly call their move “inclusive.”  Just a way to get more money.

Hey.  Are they still excluding atheists?  Because until they stop that, I’m still not donating a cent to their stupid organization.  (They still seem homophobic, too, which is also awful.)  

Hot take - I hate the song Shallow.  It’s the fact that in the chorus, the repeated “sha sha sha shallow” parts sound so muddled and when the two voices are singing together they never seem to be doing the “sh” sound at the same time.  Drives me crazy.

Weirdly, this makes me feel a lot better about my missing cat.  If a cow can survive 6 months in Alaska, my cat is probably fine after 2.5 weeks.  He has a way longer coat and is definitely smarter than a cow.

Ah, so it’s highbrow porn. Like people have been making for decades. And is just in the pornier shade of gray from a lot of high-end fashion modeling. Got it.

I was traveling over New Year’s, came back the day before my birthday, and my cat is missing.  Don’t know how long for since he goes outside and the cat sitter thought he was coming in.  But no sign of him.  So, yeah, 2019 is not shaping up so well.

People from Connecticut are correctly called Nutmeggers.  Or Connecticut Yankees if you’re feeling old-fashioned.  Connecticuter is not a thing to anyone here.

This becomes particular interesting in your context. If you and your partner have a child, will the non-heteronormative nature of your relationship affect the status of that child? If two women have a child, would it matter whether the woman who carried the child is the non-tribal or tribal partner? If two men use a…
