Wait, what? Teachers generally have the summer off from teaching (unless they’re teaching summer school), which would be a minimum of two months (8 weeks) for most teachers, unless I’m mistaken. I don’t know any other profession that gets that much time off. Police officers only get 6 weeks of furlough, and most…

I don’t understand how this is relevant.

I would like to start out by saying that I know and love many nurses (my mom was one for 30+ years), I admire and respect the job they do, and Joy Behar is an idiot. Nurses are awesome!

Seriously. Could people maybe not shit on one nice thing that someone is doing? Is that possible? Can we not enjoy a moment of someone doing the right thing for once, given the current climate of fuckery in this world? Jesus.

If you click this link, you will see pictures of Jaden Smith making out with his girlfriend. Some of those pictures are of Jaden Smith’s tongue. Beware.

I often think of this about the web and the balkanization of public debate. I read a really good metaphor for this once : in Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy novels, there’s a device called the Total Perspective Vortex. The idea is that a criminal gets put into the vortex and is confronted with a sense of the scale of…

Because the purpose of college is to be exposed to different viewpoints. Not live in an echo chamber where only people who already agree with you are allowed to speak, and anyone who disagrees is silenced for promoting “microagressions”.

So basically Obama just came out against trigger warnings.

idk if its really about wanting to hear them speak, more like its important to not live in an ideological vacuum

Totally! I have not been Team Caitlyn since things whole fiasco began. Being transgender doesn’t make you a good person. The whole thing is SO self-serving, she’s as vapid as the rest of them and now has an added helping of self-righteousness to add the to the mix. Uggghh.

*weird compliment alert* Whoever this is has really nice nail beds.

You really think she’s the one making financial/business decisions? I know this is jezebel, but here’s a hint: no smart person (female or male) is making their own business decisions. They have managers, consultants, and advisers.

It’s like the ultimate shade, essentially saying “there isn’t a spit of difference between any of you popsters, regardless of your pretensions.”

The lyric “boom boom boom, brighter than the moon moon moon” really speaks to me on an emotional level.

Also, is no one else concerned that this rally looked like something out of Deliverance?

Birth control isn’t a basic right or federal law either tho, and pharmacists are still able to come between a patient and their doctor.

Entirely possible. It’s also possible that the accommodation was a huge pain in the ass for everyone, and they just got sick of it (and Kim Davis thing made it top-of-mind for everybody). I mean, think of the layout of a plane, and how those flight attendants are positioned in relation to the beverage cart, the seats,…

I mean, if a compromise or negotiation satisfies all parties then fine, but ultimately if you can’t fulfil your entire contract then... bye.

Fuck these religious assholes who think they’re entitled to a job, fuck them. Go find “work” in your religious institutions, not in jobs serving the public.

You showed mercy. You could also have gone with, “Gosh thanks! Seeing women like you do it really inspired me be to be brave. It’s how we look to ourselves that counts, right?”
