:hugs: SAME. I “ran away” from home at 14 (to a boarding school) ostensibly because I was an academic high achiever, but actually because I knew if I spent another year in that house with my parents I would kill myself.

I think the fact that churches and other places of worship are tax exempt to begin with is the biggest fucking scam in the United States. They generate income or profits or whatever it’s called, and they should be taxed at the same rate as any other business. I mean, for Catholic churches, they supposedly collect a…
😉 I love reading your commentary, Jez should pay you for your quality content!
Lol. These assholes have never, ever, had to compete in a TRUE meritocracy and it fucking shows. They got ahead historically by making sure the talents, voices, and work of everyone who was not a cis, straight, white man was suppressed, while claiming they only achieved their success through hard work and merit.
Yeah but dressing conservatively doesn’t help, really. I get catcalled and harassed just as frequently in winter when I’m wearing a snow parka and hat as i do in summer wearing shorts and a tshirt. Im not the only one who experiences this. What gives??? Am I still dressed slutty in my slutty, full length, down filled…
Get fucked. Seriously. In what fucked up world do you hold a 14 year old child and a 16 year old child as MORE responsible for the actions of a 21 year old man than the 21 year old man? Do you not even see the rank hypocrisy of what you are proposing?
I went there, too, and there was only one autistic person in my class, and he never harassed anyone. I think blaming discrimination and sexual harassment on autistic geeks is a bit off.
She’s a reprehensible person, but I give zero fucks that she’s violating the rich people protocol. Fuck them all. Let’s start building the guillotines.
It’s been a trend for a long time. Cable and print news is an agency for laundering the careers of Bush administration dead enders... Bill Kristol, David Frum, Nicole Wallace, Michael Gerson, etc. Not to mention the fact that Newt Gingrich keeps being invited on these shows despite the fact that he’s a monster. There…
Nah, it happens all the time. My abusive father killed my mother’s cat and my brothers cat (two different cats, years apart) by taking them to the vet and having the vet euthanize them. Both cats were perfectly healthy, just annoying to my father, and the veterinarian was A Ok with this because it’s a small town and…
I think the biggest problem with Red Tillerson’s firing is that it was ordered by Putin. He was obviously unfit for the job, but should Putin be making personnel decisions for the U.S. cabinet?
I’m childfree by choice, and after having spent my entire 20s in and out of relationships I can really say I’m totally bored. I’m happier being left to my own devices, because no matter how kind or generous a man is, there will always come a day when he tries to tell me what to do.
Tom Cruise?
Totally agree. Also it seems like the entire article was just a summary of “reporting” already published at the Intercept.
I guess you aren’t old enough to remember how Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich swept the republicans to a majority in the house in 1994 using incendiary, polarising rhetoric. The 90s absolutely were completely polarised, the tea party tactics were directly descended from Newt’s efforts.
Do you read Driftglass? If not, you’d like him:
For sci-fi and fantasy women authors, you must check out N.K. Jemisin (everything she’s written is excellent, but The Broken Earth trilogy is just mindblowingly good), Nnedi Okorafor, Kameron Hurley (the Stars are Legion), Naomi Novik, Robin Hobb, Ursula LeGuin (of course), and Octavia Butler (everything by her is…
This may not make much sense but here is my thought. I was assigned female at birth, so I have “female” anatomy, but I’m not female, I’m nonbinary. I get a feeling of unease when I see uterus or breasts gendered as “female”, because men, women, and gender nonconforming people can have a uterus and/or breasts.…
I mean. Just look at those smug, disgusting, child rapist perverts. I feel incandescent rage, disgust, revulsion, helplessness, hopelessness. Look at their fucking faces. Those are the faces of men who know they have a never ending buffet of children and young women to prey upon. And we and society have tolerated it…
