No no no no no. No fucking eugenics as part of the criminal justice system, for any reason, ever.
1) we don’t fight for bodily autonomy with assaults on bodily autonomy
2) you have to know a policy like this would be applied to marginalized people unevenly.

if students are in a situation where they can’t pay for lunch, they’re given one slice of american cheese on a hamburger bun along with a small milk.

I feel so strongly about how little rights parents should have over their children’s sexual lives (the answer is None, zero - they have responsibilities to their children, no rights) that I would actually support exploring extreme options, like making comprehensive sex ed opt-out, but it’s not parents who make that…

There are things I love and do not love about Tucson, but the natural world that’s never very far away is definitely one of the great things. If you’re in town again, definitely take a drive up into the Catalina Mountains. Seeing a new biome pass you periodically as you go up is really amazing, and the view is crazy.

Came here to suggest exactly that. If there are literally no rules for male students except obviously not breaking the law, they should push the dress code to the fucking breaking point. Short shorts if necessary.

I’ll allow it.

I just realized I have a sad life

I kinda feel like we should have a professional class of people with Chris Kluwe-esque linguistic takedown skills, who you can hire to create a virulent, burning response to a shitty situation like this. Someone who can figuratively lay waste to their enemies, salt the earth, etc - without degenerating into language…

Bet she’s glad the nickname “Bridezilla” isn’t literal. At least her shop walls are still standing.

So fucking relieved I am not the only one.

I’m sure the professor read the syllabus with the students on the first day - but since that reading was done in a dark room lit only by candles, it’s likely they missed some pertinent info.

Technically memes die all the time. Humans minds are constantly generating new ones and mutating old ones, and there’s only so much bandwidth for memes to occupy. Memes that fail to compete can and do indeed die, and there’s a graveyard of billions of memes out there.

Women with cheap (or expensive) perfume, along with men with cologne (whom he failed to mention) would definitely be the worst for me to deal with if it wasn’t for the constant barrage of smokers who put out their cigarette as they see the bus pull up, so they’re drenched in that smell. Then, they sit next to me,…

Were you going for the pun of man who brought a spread, therefore, manspreading - or is that jut me?

I don’t know what you’re talking about, and Google doesn’t seem to know what you’re talking about either.

Like...it’s pretty much written in the bible that abortion=bad times.

I remember when I first saw the “It’s Pat!” sketches (on repeat, not when they aired), I was just beginning to get a handle on feminist & queer theory, as well as my own gender identity. At the time, I thought the sketches were transphobic and sexist.

I liked that the litany of missing abuses was comprehensive enough to include a shout-out to sickle-cell anemia. I had to rewind, thought I’d misheard/imagined that bit.

The thing is, I don’t give a shit if a fetus is a person, or a person with rights. I’m not “willing to concede” - I think the discussion is a completely irrelevant distraction.

I guess what I am asking is, at what point should abortion no longer be allowed
