Fair point. But like you said, if someone can make the cognitive leap that a service dog is well-trained enough not to be dangerous, they should also understand that its training was for a more serious purpose.

I once had a guy tail me for three blocks, during which he did nothing but stare at my ass, and when he finally caught up to me (despite me darting across an intersection to try to avoid him), went with "Yo wassup can I get your name and number?", a question he managed to direct at my ass despite the fact that he was…

We are so behind so many countries in math and science. They are not even getting the basic education because they are getting taught that evolution doesn't exist, that the earth is 6,000 years old, that vaccines cause autism, that climate change is a liberal wet dream, that women's bodies can reject pregnancies from…

YOU ARE AN AMAZING PARENT. I'm shutting off the Internet now; can't possibly read anything better than this before bed. <3

"It's not like he was going to hurt the dog or anything!"

"If these young, hot little girls on campus—"

Maybe she counted it as her "something blue."

A guy friend once asked me out & I rejected him. We later went out to eat - as friends! - and he started talking about his parents...and how his dad had pursued his mother, with her saying no something like half a dozen times before she finally caved in. All this with a knowing look on his face; it was pretty clear…

While this isn't true for every queer author, there are plenty who have written books that a publisher liked enough to publish — with the caveat that the author had to tone down the queer elements of the storyline to pander to a cis audience. For a lot of these authors, the only thing stopping their…

Oh my god that's awful. Glad you made it home.

Women can't breastfeed on command. It's possible to stimulate a woman to lactate if she hasn't recently been pregnant, but generally women's breasts start to change towards the end of their pregnancy as a result of pregnancy hormones; it's not a switch we just turn off & on with willpower, nor will a baby sucking on a…

My friends and I went to a super-duper-orthodox Christian wedding once. We were all high school friends of the bride and very much heathens, single, and not giving a fuck about it; ALL of her other guests were people from her church and therefore married. She wouldn't let us sit it out because there wouldn't have been…

No, because I like to swim, play sports, and generally be able to walk on the beach in a swimsuit, and anything worn by a SI swimsuit model is going to expose me to the world.

In the US at least, "office administrator" is often the fancy title for a secretary, receptionist, etc. - the person who preps the conference room for meetings, sorts the mail, takes catering orders, gives out parking vouchers and security badges, and all of the other tasks needed to keep the office running smoothly.…

Samesies, except mine was flute, and somehow I ended up being first chair.

To tune out all the way-less-sexy noises in the background, e.g. neighbors, garbage trucks, lawnmowers. TBH I usually just turn on my bathroom fan.

Then this guy probably isn't attracted to you and doesn't care about legislating your appearance. This is just about him being able to get into heaven without having to endure any actual tests of his faith; why moderate his own actions when he can moderate the actions of women who might tempt him to sin?

I read "polite society" as "police society" and barely batted an eye. Republic of Gilead gets closer every day.

This. Slaves may have been bought & sold by wealthy white landowners, but the virulent hatred of POC in this country most often seems to reside in the hearts of poor and working class whites. It wasn't rich people marching up 5th Ave. in NYC during the race riots of the Civil War, it was working-class whites who…
