Totally. I live on the (Canadian) prairies with settler, Métis, and Cree ancestry, and I feel very conflicted about the author’s argument. I absolutely agree with her about Wilder’s books, but I feel that arguing that that style of dress automatically connotes a settler fantasy flattens out what is a really…

I'm not sure it's fair to hold a toddler tantrum against somebody. She was only about 3 when it happened, and even Laura herself seems to realize what a bizarre moment it was and that it was an absolutely bonkers thing to go to pieces over. 

He was recently on an NPR show “Ask Me Another”. He is an amazing guy in so many ways. He got into college on an art scholarship. Then he got on the football team as a walk on and got a free ride. He is a flautist. He made extra money in school doing portraits of his teammates. The played a game of “what cant Terry do”…

Yes - he would put a cast on his arm and walk through a college campus, drop books in front of a victim who was kind enough to carry them to his car and then commit unspeakable acts.  He was charming, handsome & no believed him capable of the crimes he committed.  He worked as a volunteer at a suicide prevention…

Disagree that we should all make the leap that she had a drinking problem, but agree that the answer to drinking too much is not always weed. 

He also did exactly as Jesus told him to do. Fuck the other Apostles, and fuck Paul.

No, they’re not Judas. They’re the hypocrites, the law teachers, the money lenders in the Temple, the Pharisees...

...was enough to make me shrug “fair enough,” and like a movie I probably would have criticized a couple of years ago.

Our closest relatives, the bonobo, don’t display the stereotypical idea of dominance oriented behaviour or heirarchy based sexual activity.

Thanks for this! I had the hardest time explaining to people how Elizabeth Warren’s test was more complex than a fight with Cheetolini. How hurtful to hear them deny her any claim to her ancestry. I think of all the stolen children from tribes, clans, bands etc. The ones who bought their whiteness or were forced into…

I actually didn’t become a member of my mom’s tribe until I was an adult. My dad is Seneca and his tribe is matrilineal. Since my mom is Menominee that meant my dad’s tribe was out. For years, my mom spent a lot of time trying to prove I had enough blood quantum to join her tribe. Eventually, she hired a woman who was…

Having been canceled 4 years ago, it definitely doesn’t count as new but I will never not recommend Drop Dead Diva on articles like this. It’s so underrated and Brooke Elliott is a goddess. 

Poor Pete. Social media can be a disaster. Even on this site I have commented and been slapped in the face y another poster. Something like “you should just kill yourself”. It stung for a second, I can’t imagine what it would be like if it was hundreds of people a day, every day.

There are not enough stars for this. Gift cards are the actual reason that I stopped doing Christmas at all. Handing me a piece of plastic to be used at a store I never shop at is not a gift,its lazy and unimaginative. 

Yes. Her general point distracts from the problem and frames it instead as some sort of competition among minority women instead of a fight against white patriarchy.
But I also want to call out one of those tweets embedded for its logical fallacy because there are enough legitimate points to bring up in this…

I thought maybe she is just trying to get out from under her sister’s shadow....

Meh, Jameela’s just doing this to try to one up Rebecca Hazlewood.

“‘Well, he’s got a good heart he’ll be fine. Just talk to him.’”

While I personally think it’s a bad idea to not have sex with someone before you marry them, I think it’s not our place to judge other people’s sexual practices/decisions, as long as there’s no cheating and all parties involved are consenting to it. I love bacon, but I wouldn’t tell a devout Muslim or Jewish person, “J…

I’m just so delighted that Walker lost in Wisconsin.  I loathe that motherfucker, and the relatives I have in Wisconsin who I’m sure voted for him.
