I know I have shared this before, but I miss my mom, so deal with it. My Mom, sister, neighbors and I were at Belle Isle. They have a single bear in a makeshift enclosure at the time (a drained aquatic exhibit to be exact). Mom says "Hi Jo-jo! Jo-jo, sit." And the bear sits down. She tells him to wave to the people.…

I realized I would never ever be a paramedic when my instructor mentioned a "degloving" and how ugly it was.

This is still my favorite Wikipedia edit.

It's quickly becoming clear to me, judging by the responses, that the line is drawn juuust before it infringes in your collective convenience.

The people active on this issue don't like Chiefs, Braves, or Indians, but Redskins is the worst and it's in DC, the hub of a lot of media, so they're focusing on them right now.

Ain't that the truth.

Your argument is "since we already did the systematic genocide, what's a football team name on top"? Strong take.

And.... "To paraphrase the great John Oliver, listen up, fellow self-pitying nerd boys—we are not the victims here. We are not the underdogs.

Dear Exene Cervenka,

Thank you for linking this post. What an articulate, vulnerable and important essay. I was a recognized nerd in my youth and have been a self-proclaimed one for 10 years now.

Dox them. Every last one. Hand it over to the FBI. Get IP addresses, names. Tell the world who these people are - every woman in the vicinity of these animals need to know who they are and what they think of women. Name and shame. No more hiding.

Kinda-update: I went to check the room again this morning, and it's now password-protected.

I don't use the word huckster nearly enough.

And liberal men, it seems, apply a double standard to conservative women, unloading the same sort of vitriol against them that they'd decry if it were aimed at women with whom they agreed.

"We can all fight sexism together no matter who we vote for"?

Well, not if the people you vote for systemically shut down women's bodily autonomy, deny us access to basic healthcare and prevent us from marrying the women we love. I mean, excuse me if I don't want those people on my sexism-fighting team.

Now if the countries of the EU and the United States would just stop the millenia-long exploitation, genocide, and stripmining of Africa's people and natural resources and allowed them control over their own land and to charge a fair price for goods and labor, AND united as a group, then not only would they rival the…
