I think having an environment closer to yours, and teaching kids respectful ways of speaking up and questioning adults in a healthy manner is SO beneficial to learning about and preparing for the real world. Training kids to simply follow orders and never question authority or see authority as their equals can be…

Like how people thought Obama’s existence would end racial inequality?

I thought you used coffee makers to make crack. (Cocaine Cowboys 2)

We have five animals in our house. One dog, two elderly cats (19 and 20) and two younger cats (2 and 6 months). The elderly cats like their space, but get along well with the rest. The two younger cats are more aggressive but get along okay and all of the animals get along with my dog, often curl up with her or lay…

My mom is an RN and my first exposure to STEM, which I now work in, was playing with her stethoscope.

This woman is a disgrace.

Googling now. If I get it, I’ll send you a picture! XD

YESSSSSSS! Like, did you know that you have to go through your compliance officer sir? Yes I know your compliance officer needs to go through all of your text, NO they don’t need to go through my code and start changing things.

The worst I had was an advisor with OCD that was convinced our CMS was too weighty. To be…

Don’t insult the process that goes into the product you consume.

Try something like this.

Religions around the world constantly promote men as heads of household and women must submit under all circumstances. Even in atheist communities, women still take a lot of shit, usually from ideologies that stem from cultural influences that were also based on religions.

It’s not a conspiracy in the slightest.

You…

Seriously! I do my grocery shopping after working out and like to pick up fresh ingredients for dinner when I can.

I’m a business woman that goes straight from work, to pilates, to the store, then I go home and cook my healthy meals (okay they’re not always that healthy), but I’m not going to apologize for being on the…

God forbid any of the people outraged visit Europe.

Oh my fucking god, I get this shit all the time. I’m an engineer, web dev, interface and software, and while I have had an excellent time meeting people through the site and getting great leads for future endeavors, I regularly get guys that break the ice with something along the lines of “Hi, we work in the same…

This is all I see every time he opens his mouth.

I can’t wait until everyone with this mindset dies out and gets forgotten about.

Rape survivor here, it does NOT make a mockery of anyone. This woman is just as entitled to give consent as anyone else. Legalize sex work and give these women the protection they need with regulation and the ability to seek help without being subjected to bullshit like this!

You’re not alone. Online threats, being attacked myself multiple times going about my every day life in person, nearly being kidnapped off of the street, and I live in Southern California, just losing hope in humanity. Then you talk about these things only to have people threaten you for talking about them and…

This is my new favorite series of posts on any Kinja blogs. I really hope these become a weekly feature!

You know what else is unnatural? The fact that we have electricity to light up our homes at night and can take pictures and capture moments in time forever. In fact, the Roman Catholic Church even opposed gaslamps along the streets because it tampered with God’s will to separate day and night.

Let’s stop pretending we…

I had to include my most favorite gif of all time.
