Agreed. Discrimination against unhoused people on the basis of unhousedness is not okay. But just as we don’t pretend that all housed people are angels, let's not pretend that all unhoused people are. There are both housed and unhoused people who abuse their animals, in horrific ways. And this seems to be one of those…

Honestly y’all this is a really bad take. It seems like she definitely could have done more due diligence about the appropriate chain of command that should be followed before accepting an animal into her rescue. But that dog *couldn’t walk*. She was severely malnourished, covered in excrement, and had a badly…

Also? It’s perfectly fucking fine if you want to have a talk without someone’s continued support for the Catholic Church, but at least the people who get married there are likely doing so because they honestly believe that their marriage has to be officiated by a priest in order to be valid in the eyes of their God.…

I don’t think trying to refute your argument will convince you of anything since you are conflating your version of logic with actual human emotions, but I think you should have a deep think about whether you need to be the person who makes this point OUT LOUD. Is it more important that everyone agree with you or more…

Can you bring back hoop skirts, big hats and rocking chairs without it being racist? Sure, probably. But can you divorce the “glamour” of an era from the sins that helped build it? No, you can’t. Because when you try to, you’re going to find yourself going down the sort of path where old slave quarters seem cute and…

You can start with three, off the top of my head:  you can read the original The Color Purple, by Alice Walker, you can read For Colored Girls Who’ve Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf by Ntozake Shange, and - despite the disdain that has rained down on Julie Swetnick because her claims aren’t what men…

Your mom was WRONG. My mom taught me early that my body was mine, and no one else had any right to do anything to it that I didn’t want. It helped me stand up to the males that would flash me or try to grope me when I was young. I was so thankful for that lesson.

It just dawned on me how I was able to handle the situation so well... my mom. She had been raped at a fairly young age (16, if I recall correctly - she’s passed on, so I can’t ask), so as soon as I started developing, she gave me “the talk,” but mainly how some men were pigs, and would take advantage of you if you…

Today is my 47th birthday, and my mom died a month ago tomorrow.

This too shall pass.

DB rarely disappoints me. Perdy man.

Your husband needs to grow up fast so he can be a father and a help when the baby comes. That is ridiculous.

No one talks about it but I think the low point for many couples’ relationship is the last 2 weeks before the wedding. No one in my entire circle of friends was happy that last month. We were all miserable, stressed out, overwhelmed, and frustrated. We all went on to have wonderful, supportive, loving marriages…

Don’t fuck around. See a doc asap.

I’m getting married in two weeks, and I’m pretty worried about my fiance. He has social anxiety (+ some body dysmorphia, PTSD, and very complicated family relationships). He has said that this is the most stressed he has ever been in his life. He’s irritable and distant and terrified of people looking at him on the…

I think this has been my favorite royal wedding meme.

Look, this is pissing me off and I need to say something. This photo was not from today’s wedding.

There’s times when women were driven out of their head by untreated postpartum depression and abusive environments like Andrea Yates. But the trying the obvious child abduction and then doing this screams much more of “she was the abuser or the bigger danger of a mutually problematic couple”.

This week I got to help screen bones from a mastodon fossil pit and tonight I’m seeing the band mastodon. I was told this is a Dad joke, but I think it’s pretty damn cool.

If she’s so mentally ill that she was a danger to herself and others, she shouldn’t have had any access to that innocent baby she killed.
