If sex workers want respect, then:

If fetuses get full personhood rights, then child support had better fucking be paid retroactively.

I, for one, love this clever end run around the 19th Amendment.

Exactly. I’ve been saying it for years: progressives and far-leftists need to get their heads out of their ideologically pure asses and start obsessing over the courts the way Republicans have for decades, and also stop being so fucking narcissistic as to assume they are the majority of the Democratic party…

And what’s the sentence for getting someone pregnant who doesn’t want to be pregnant?

They will outlaw abortions, but leave newborns to die if their parents can’t pay hospital bills.

“It will be over soon.” (Applied to any unpleasant or negative event or task, like getting shots or going to the dentist.)

I know a person who will probably be nominated for an Oscar next year because of this advice. A nobody assistant made her way up to a big job and was instrumental in getting it produced after years of sitting on the black list. She called him to tell him they were making it and said she wanted to be the one to tell…

From my academic mentor: by the time you are interviewing for a job, you are more than capable of doing it. They are interviewing because they are trying to find the person who isn’t an asshole.

Maya, so good! And I totally still owe you a response from last week. I’m working on it!

First of all jinni!! Yea so happy to see a post from you :) and secondly one of the best pieces of advice I’ve received over the past few years was from my support worker when I was in the homeless hostel

Then every one of those babies should either be named Elizabeth or Warren so future generations can see how this policy worked out. 

People that think like that drive me nuts. I’m 39 and have paid off my student loans. It sucked, and of course I would have preferred to spend that money on other things. But I don’t want the next generation to have to go into debt simply because I did. If everyone thought that way, society would never progress even…

But if I didn’t get it, then I don’t want anyone else to get it.  [paraphrasing selfish assholes]

A massive wipe of student debt in the U.S. would trigger a huge spending boom in housing and autos, and probably bump up birth rates as young Americans who were looking down the barrel of decades of debt would decide they could have the 2.5 kids their parents had. And all the critics are going to worry about is that…

watching her finally get the recognition she deserves since her album drop on friday has been one of the sweetest things i’ve ever watched happen in the music industry

Boss mode: engaged

Is there a physical version of her new album that I can put into my car’s CD player and drive around all day with? I have a road trip this weekend and I really want the drive to be a nice one.

Wow. RESPECT. That takes a whole world of presence and poise to not only push through a snafu like that but then to OWN it too. 

I just turned 45, never married, several long term relationships. I just realized I prefer being single. Single does not mean alone, I am surrounded by friends and family.
