You know what else is important? Understanding language, rhetoric, reasoning, argument, logic, etc.

I am so sick of this bullshit prioritizing science and math over the humanities. People who can’t evaluate argument, recognize propaganda or understand history and sociology are much easier to manipulate, even if they…

Dude, I have a Lochlan, born in 2014, and this article is pissing me off. It’s a perfectly good name, and kind of sounds like Kyle McLachlan. Ain’t nothing wrong with that.

Dude. Oliver doesn’t end in -aden. You’re winning the name game automatically.

Those are both traditional names that come from people’s heritage tho.

so your problem is with the now obsolete sexual mores of the time, not the song. I don’t have an issue with that, as such. but its important to aim righteous indignation at the right target. the song isn’t about supporting it, its about bucking it.

so since that oppressive system is mostly defeated now, why not…

Someone on Twitter recently (I wish I could remember who) pointed out that, the way it was originally written and performed, what this song is really about is a woman who wants to buck social norms of propriety and stay with him but feels pressured to leave so she doesn’t suffer social consequences and stigma. And…

Go cheap or go home. If you’ve ever spent time on forums where couples are TTC (Trying to Conceive), they effectively stock up on the $1 kits from Dollar Tree/Dollar General/Family Dollar. They’re a bit more involved because you’re supposed to pee in a little cup then use an included dropped to put it on the test…

Ah, a return to life before pink and purple vommitted all over the toy aisles...

I loved it so much I had my imaginary friends phone number written in ink (who gave a four year old an ink pen?) on the side of it. His name was Max and his phone number was approximately eleventyhundred numbers long.

...This is not a game.

ITS LINDSAY

This was a baby, from all reports, that was born not breathing, and showing no signs of life.

Was the baby born without a heartbeat? or just not breathing? Oh, that’s right, WE DON’T KNOW BECAUSE THE ARTICLE DOESN’T SAY. You’re not clinically dead until your heart stops beating. You’re not biologically dead until your brain activity stops. The article says they “saved” the baby. It does not say he was…

Okay, I do want to point this out- the disabled life is still worth living. Please don’t promote the idea that disabled people are better off dead. You can support a woman’s right to reproduction freedom without implying that.

I think you probably just don’t understand as much as you think you do. Faced with a 24 week pregnant mother who has a history of attempting to self abort with a coat hanger the doctors are concerned about both the mother and the child. Any number of things could be going on that put them both at risk. The mother…

I pretty much didn’t change my name after my marriage out of laziness, but I lied to my husband and said I Felt Strongly About The Patriarchy And My Name is My Name.

Jesus fucking christ, “finish the abortion”? He’s a BABY. He was born ALIVE. And I am 1,000% pro-choice. But once you are born and viable, you are your own person with the right to a shot at life. My best friend has a 5 year old who was born at 26 weeks and weighed 1.5 pounds. He’s a fucking miracle. Shame on you.

Why would they resuscitate it? Are you fucking kidding?

I’ve never understood people who want their elected leaders to be as dumb as they are.

I can’t help it — I’m going to be that person. The 10-year anniversary of my mother’s death was last month, and I’d give just about anything to be able to talk to her even one more time, despite how rocky our relationship was during my high school and college years.
