This.

I have a former roommate that seems to have fallen into conservatism in the last couple years. I don’t think he’s a true believer but he does seem like he spends too much time on reddit. He makes occasional snarky comments about SJWs and Political Correctness. The last time I asked him he said something along…

When I hear people are who are “anti-PC”, basically all they’re saying is that “I should be able to say the most vile and grosses things possible, and I should not be called out on it!” News flash people, you absolutely have a right to say nasty things, just like others are allowed to call you a PoS for saying it!…

In my house growing up, swearing was seen as a healthy way to vent feelings of frustration. Swearing at someone (unless clearly joking) was a no-no. Swearing about the state of things in general was (is) fair game. I can’t think of any more appropriate reason to be swearing right now.

And you just know that Republicans will get the vapors over the fact that he said ‘fuck’rather than respond to the actual substance of the answer. 

I was at my FB’s house one random Sunday afternoon and he was gathering all his laundry to drop off at the laundromat and I helped him take off his fitted sheet. I remember taking off one corner to reveal that his mattress had a giant blood stain on it. But the stain seemed SUPER old, and the rest of the mattress…

My former fuck buddy, now husband has a lamp that looks like an anatomical model of a heart, and when you plug it in, it “pulses”. I shit you not.

If you’re a young woman, this is a downside to pretty much any job.

There is a channel on Twitch and Youtube called “Marmeladenoma” where a grandmother, aided on the technical aspects by her grandson, is reading classic fairy tales to the viewers, in the hope that they will not be forgotten.
She has become an internet phenomenon in Germany, appearing on TV shows and generally getting…

Not gonna lie, I lost it at “becoming a rapper”. Live the dream Granny Q.

I think that WaPo article should be required reading for everyone.

Solidarity! I’m trying to do the same thing with literature courses. By our communist lesbian powers combined, we can do it! It does feel like a never-ending process because you’re starting over every 15 weeks with a whole new crop, but never doubt that it’s worth it. You don’t get through to all of them, but some…

I wish you could come talk to the university students I teach. Each year I do so much work to introduce new ideas to young adults who arrive with super indoctrinated stances on the world... we make some progress throughout the year and then I have to do it all over again with the next batch. Year after year, more than…

I grew up an evangelical, “speaking in tongues”, born-again Christian. I was anti-abortion, anti pre-marital sex, and had no idea what LGBTQ+ was (it didn’t even have the letters back then).

It’s INSANE that a book about relationships written by a 21-year-old became a hit. Absolutely insane. 21-year-olds are IDIOTS. *Especially* 21-year-old dudes. I can’t believe that actual grown ups took him seriously - even evangelical weirdos.

Ooh yeah, I would totally read a book about how he came to his new conclusions.

I grew up (non-Mormon) in a predominately Mormon town, and allllllll those kids were doing butt stuff. The idea being that they were still preserving their virginity for marriage. So I guess “sodomy” is cool so long as it’s only the straights that do it.

I am fascinated by this. In many ways, his journey kinda resembles mine.  I read his book when I was about his age - and boy did i buy that hook line and sinker.  But I guess it’s easier to have someone else tell you what to do instead, of having faith in yourself to figure it out on your own.  There aren’t many…

This guy’s (an others like him) work is the reason that my parents were complete psychopaths in my teens (and early 20's) in regards to dating.

this is my new favourite kotaku comment

The guy that I had a HUGE crush on in high school and into college lent me this after I borrowed his entire BLAME! collection. It took me ages to finally watch it, I was thoroughly confused, but it did give me an excuse to talk to that guy a lot.
