What context could be added to supporting JK Rowling and proclaiming himself “team TERF” that would make it acceptable?

And yes, the paradox of tolerance requires that we be intolerant of intolerance to maximize tolerance. You’re not exactly breaking new ground by saying “so much for the tolerant Left!”

It’s a bummer how many writers on Twitter are specifically calling out the kidney donation as a way to knock Dorland.

If you’re over the age of 15 and would tell someone that you “value their friendship”, and then literally the next day talk mad shit about them in a group text or otherwise you might be a goddamn sociopath. 

Dorland inspired a different reaction, and I have never known why. Here was someone who was driven and passionate about many of the same things as me (writing, social justice, reproductive rights) but whose approach to those subjects made me feel insecure in ways I still find hard to pinpoint. We were friendly at…

Here are some more recent examples:

There is definitely merit to what Sarah Silverman is saying. And as a Jewish woman who runs in circles with other Jewish women, we’ve all been talking about it non-stop since the video went up yesterday.

Right, but it’s not like white Catholics are a historically marginalized group. It’s not apples to apples.

Then your guess would be wrong. I think there’s a melanin argument here.

Saying you’re not anti-vax while sowing dissent and misinformation about vaccines is like play #1 by anti-vaxxers. Jenny McCarthy says she’s not anti-vaxx too. I’ll judge her by her actions first, not her PR statements to save face.

Isn’t her stance that she’s “vaccine-hesitant” and a low-vaccine family? Essentially just anti-vaxx dogwhistles, the basic equivalent of “just asking questions” while continuing to promote the conspiracy theories.

I’m confused why Lavar Burton wasn’t the IMMEDIATE choice. Nothing made more sense than having him host.

It’s pretty obvious they saw the blowback from picking Richards, and desperately called Bialik to try to counter it.

Really? No mention that she’s using her neuroscience degree to push snake oil caffeine pills to unlock your brain power, or has had a bad history of anti-vaxx sentiments?

We all know exactly why there aren’t more cameras on cop cars, and it’s the exact same reason bodycams are conveniently off whenever cops shoot another unarmed black kid.

Cameras are cheap. Memory is cheap. WHY, exactly, aren’t police vehicles bristling with cameras?

I’m highly skeptical of the cop’s story. Why would a guy point a gun at a driver he hit in his reckless driving? Considering cops’ short tempers, wouldn’t it be the other way around?

Fun fact, in lots of states coroners are elected and dont have to you know be doctors or any kind of medical professional. Which leaves me split. Incompetence, or Racism? My guess is some of both but primarily a main dish of racism with a side of incompetence.

Coroner has probably also attributed a number of deaths to clumsy women falling down stairs. Sometimes falling down those stairs several times. 

Well, it was nice to read about the good stuff. Sorry to hear about the bad. Hope the fall didn’t injure you too seriously, though the EMT certainly did some harm.  I’m crossing my fingers for your home situation.

Exactly, they fucked her over and they should be held accountable for it. Doing contract law and it’s maddening the amount of companies/contractors trying to fuck over employees/property buyers due to covid. I hope her case sets some precedent of opinion that pre-covid contracts with lots of time to renegotiate need…
