That documentary seems to be about two tangentially related things: animal abuse by the tourism sledding industry and whether or not dogs trained for sledding in the iditarod is inherently abusive.

It’s also very possible they’re both abusive, manipulative, lying assholes. Or I guess in this case that they’re both being more or less honest about the other. My mom would get physically abusive with my dad when he was on a bender. He would gaslight her for weeks, hiding his booze, making excuses for his long hours…
In witchcraft, having possession someone else’s hair (generally through the means of taking it from their scalp) allows one to practice dark, often harmful magick (curses, hexes, etc) against said person. Touching someone’s hair without consent is a violent form of aggression.
Yes. I used to have long hair that I wore in a single braid, and white men (and a couple of latino and black men) felt very free about pawing at it. My theory is that when you feel superior to another person, you feel free to touch them without permission.
Those goats look a hell of a lot like sheep.
Full disclosure- about 8-9 years ago, I did some design work as a contractor for a design firm working with a large rail company out of Japan for this very project. The proposal was on the ballot, and the client was trying to get a jump on it if it was to pass. It was fun work, plus I’ve ridden the JR Shinkansen lines…
“There are so many rules about recycling” it all comes down to this.
In early January, she attempted to address the issue, and I thought that was the last of it, but I guess it’s going to stick to her.
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…
