Naw. Being a porn star is not a fundamental human right. It is a privilege bestowed into those with gifts from God like big weiners, little labia, whatever floats your boat. Health is a privilege. So is being a performer. We do not need HIV positive porn stars. Can we redirect all the energy dedicated towards this and…

This is one area, as a gen-x’er, where no amount of science will ever overcome my terror. I’ll never knowingly sleep with someone with HIV, not if they’re on the top-quality medication and I’m using a condom and on PrEP. It’s the realest boogieman of our generation. 

Weddings are a day for your parents’ friends to get completely shitcanned with your friends and badly dance to decades-old pop music.

Grant also reportedly told the audience that he still has some of the costumes he wore when he played Clifford in Spice World.

Why? As with black and brown juveniles around the country who are criminalized from pre-adolescence, 17 is plenty old to be treated like a “man,” in the U.S. court system, especially if the victims of such crimes are white (which, in this case, they were).

I’ve worked 3 month stretches of 7 12s and never once murdered anyone.

I had never heard of this “Yes Julz” BTA (Before This Article)

I think it’s a good thing these firefighters have too much time on their hands. The alternative would be fires having to be fought.

Yeah, what’s with the snark? It’s a minor thing, but surely we all understand that “minor things” are how patriarchy persists. Kind of shitty to make fun of a good-natured call-out like that one.

Yeah, I’m down with calling this stuff out when you catch it. Good on them.

The fire brigade is correct!! 

I’m gonna let this one go.

Not sure I get the mocking tone here. It seems like a reasonable tweet!

that has more to do with NZ police not being trigger happy like U.S. ones are, in NZ attacks like this are extremely rare so they are not trained for this sort of thing.

It sounds like the abuse happened before her mother died. 

Stephanie Flowers is a perfect example of why downballot races matter so much. City councils and statehouses are where we can shut down bad policy in the womb and put a real check on power. I wish everyone watching that video would find one local race to pay attention to and a local candidate to support. These are the…

We do have ways of rationalizing the most bizarre\self-destructive behavior.

This *has* to be true. They have a video of people who knew Smollett buying the implements used in the attack. There is no longer any possibility of Smollett’s version of events to be true. He’s definitively lying! You might as well be agnostic about gravity. 

Nahhh. There is NO good excuse for doing something like this, which re-victimizes real victims by making it just that much harder for them to be taken seriously. If he did this, he is a bad human. 

Glad I kept my mouth shut about this for weeks.
