Sometimes when I see ridiculous commercials, I try to imagine what that pitch meeting must have been like, and I feel like the phrase “protest is the new brunch” was uttered in this one.

If it doesn’t include Laura Linney’s character setting healthy boundaries and having some hot sex, I’m not into it.

I’m sorry that tweet is hilarious.

I know (from other comments) what this was supposed to be about, but it reads waaaay too much like a smarmy poke at the various groups (such as LGBT people, people of color, etc.) that have had to fight for a long time for inclusion. For queer people especially, there’s still a lot of folks out there who view our…

The shade. It’s just kneecapping me.

OH THANK GOD they brought Chiwetel Ejiofor back. If Keira ditches him for that schmuck I will kick things.

I believe the trope actually comes from the fact that traditionally people (men) wanted to hold up mothers as the be-all of womanhood (it distracts women from doing other important things, like reading or making choices!), and the only time people listened to what women had to say was when they were speaking about…

I mean why don’t they ask the moms of families who are in danger of watching loved ones get deported, or brutalized by police, or die from lack of access to healthcare since they’re asking moms. I mean, they only have four moms there and that is hardly a sufficient sample size to represent all the families right?

“To me, their opinion is valuable precisely because they don’t have any credentials attached.”

I doubt this post would have been made if the people in question were anti-vaxx. No, I don’t give a flying fuck about the opinion of people that are willfully un- or mis-informed - the moms on my social media feeds that are most like these women seem proud to have honed a bubble of ignorance around themselves. I know…

Briefly, I don’t think I was suggesting that these women should be silenced or that they should never be allowed to talk publicly.

Nah, from TJ Maxx. They’re all there for like $5 now.

I have a cat who looks like a Russian Blue but is actually a gray tabby. He is concerned that he will be stereotyped for his appearance.

White Nationalism. (Basic Bitch edition.)

My cat is a Russian Blue and cares about the Russia issue because I think that he might be a Russian spy.

Obviously with an uninformed opinion like that you must not be a mother. ;p

This is yet another reminder that having a child does not suddenly make you an expert on literally anything, and that the act of birth is something that literally billions upon billions of people around the world, both very smart and incredibly fucking dumb, have done throughout millenia.
