Just in case you’d like to toggle through it, here’s the publishing industry’s brand-new Diversity Baseline Survey. Since I work for one of publishing’s most diverse companies (no, I’m not telling) I’m happy to stand back and let you pick apart the results!

They were thinking with their dicks.

Thank you. We are not human shields for the less stigmatised members of the community.

Dear Muggles: Please stop thinking of us as a human shield to use as a buffer for socially acceptable women against creeps and monsters. Because that is a super fucked up way to think about other people, which is what we are. 

Incels need to be as far away from women as humanly possible.

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

Quebec is also where Karla Homolka currently lives with her husband and children. Yes, the serial killer who raped and killed her own sister. Yes, the same woman who got the Deal with the Devil, 12 years incarceration, in exchange for flipping on her serial rapist husband. No, I can’t let it go.

Something similar happened to my neighbor last week - she was by a 7-11 employee needed to input her phone number for 7-11 rewards with her purchase. The employee then took her number and, while slightly less horror movie than being trapped on a plane with a psycho, pulled the “hey, guess who this is?” and hit her up…

A pizza delivery man did something like this to me once. :(

I had a mechanic do something similar once. It’s super disconcerting!

wait wait wait THIS WASN’T THE FIRST TIME HE’S DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THEN WHY IS HE STILL WORKING THERE???

He told Barno he’d like to “chat the whole flight”

Excellent comment. Sums it up perfectly.

I love bike lanes. As a driver they let me know where cyclists are going to be. As a cyclist they let me know where cars arent. Particularly where they are separated by some sort of barrier / curb. We have dedicated bike stop lights and turning lights here too. I love them. I can make a right hand turn knowing that a…

There’s a lot of people who think that because I’m overtly car-maniacal, I’ll go along with whatever anti-bike nonsense they’re going to parrot. Second to cars, my favorite transport method is cycling.

We aren’t even to the holiday yet and yesterday my FIL complained that white bread isn’t as white as it used to be, probably because the minorities hate it being white. He wasn’t trying to make some awful racist dad joke. He literally believes this stuff.

Things to know before I start this story:

And then your grandmother promptly threw him out of the house, right?

My family is pretty rife with alcoholics, druggies, and various inappropriate behaviors, but even I have to admit that the Christmas that Uncle Pothead told us about his recent medically-necessary circumcision because he hadn’t kept himself clean enough was really just not the best conversation to go with the mashed…
