I can’t believe everyone defending the people who recline ! If you recline, you are taking up space into someone else’s space. Therefore, you are an inconsiderate monster! Most people who recline are doing it from a place of selfishness and not thoughtfulness. I’ve been stuck behind people who keep their chair…

Yeah, this is a major pain. I now wear a vest with a bunch of pockets and fill it with everything i could POSSIBLY need during the flight (meds, chargers, snacks) and put other things (books, ipad, water) in the seat back pocket before settling in because if someone reclines, i can’t get to my bag. this has happened…

People who recline are monsters and don’t care what kind of misery they bring on others, so they are not likely to listen.

I’m with ya. Reclining really only works if the majority of the plane is reclined to sleep.

Me too, but  worth a minor correction: This is occurring in Northern Ireland, not the Republic. Savita Halappanavar died in Galway, which is in the Republic. Theoretically, the Republic has already legalised, though reports on the ground suggest it’s not as accessible yet as it should be. Meanwhile back to NI, this is…

…….the Quest to Vilify Hillary is what’s unreal here......my Mom is 76 and when I lived in the French Quarter in the ‘90s, she retired early and came to live with me for 6 mos...…...it was a WHOLE NEW WORLD for her and she LOVED IT...…….when a couple of my friends told her how their families (invariably in the South)…

In short, yes, and as a lesbian, it’s a view that I’ve seen expressed (almost invariably by non-lesbians) more often than you’d think. That being said, the general consensus amongst people, trans and cis, who are not either predatory or going out of their way to be lesbophobic and/or play weird “gotcha” games with…

I’ve seen some people make that arrangement in comment sections and on Tumblr before.

...Are there actually people who think it's transphobic if a lesbian doesn't want to sleep with someone who has a penis?

My great-grandfather and his brothers became wards of the state and lived in an orphanage on Staten Island in the 1890s/1900s after their father died. Their mother (who was deaf, like their father had been) lived in a workhouse/almshouse in Manhattan until she was run over by a train on her way to see her sons.

Before I start this story is going to be weird. I was incarcerated for a brief period of time in my youth. My mother is a lapsed Catholic and never took us to church so I know nothing about Catholicism. I was waiting to meet with my public defender on a Wednesday and a fellow inmate sat next to me. She had a black X…

Yup. My dad and his siblings went to Catholic school all their lives. When I was about ready to go to kindergarten, my grandmother offered to pay for Catholic school for me because we lived in a not-great school district in Cleveland.

WHAT TELL US MORE

Man, I hate such inaccuracies in cosplay.

Thanks!! That's my daughter and I. We're so glad you like our cosplay!

She said on today’s twitter thread that she wished she worded that differently but stands by her point. It’s tough to write complicated opinions on policy in a tweet; the FBI has been credibly accused of entrapping people and pushing mentally ill people into making a statement supporting ISIS just so they could arrest…

I’m going to leverage your thought leadership when we ideate our next ecosystem disruption. I think a deep dive initiative will help unpack the core competencies needed to move the needle on our deliverables. Hopefully, it will incentivize engagement among key players. I’m out of pocket right now, so I can’t drill…

I had a conversation last night with a dear friend wherein I told her I feel somehow deficient because I don’t have marriage and kids and a house like almost everyone else in my life. It was almost a breakdown moment, because I want those things but somehow don’t see myself getting them, and I wondered why I couldn’t…
