There’s an interesting article about Ivanka and Jared that was in the New Yorker a few weeks ago...sounds like Jared got mad at a Democrat/someone gave him a bunch of right wing books and he went off the deep end.

lmao vegans are so extra

That’s true, but it’s also not a super helpful point in these kind of discussions, which are generally (unfortunately) coming from an American lens. How a homogenous culture without a history of racial-based chattel slavery and oppression deals with outsiders is a whole other kettle of fish.

Hold up—I’m pretty sure “celebrating” Cinco de Mayo by getting trashed on tequila and eating tacos is appropriative and kind of gross. There are definitely comprable situations for Jews.

I’m not just worried about the rise of a fascist government. I’m worried about my visibly Muslim and visibly latino and visibly non-white loved ones during that uptick of violence.

The amount of money that Uber/Airbnb devote to lobbying would make your head spin.

Hmm...it could be a lie, or pneumonia could be easily exacerbated by allergies and overheating, which could in turn be more severe due to a weakened immune system due to an infection (ie: pneumonia).

Exactly! I can’t speak to the age issue, but a lot of times this faux body pos “fuck flattering” message just serves to let people off the hook for serving populations—you don’t want to invest the time in finding colors that work with dark skin tones? “Fuck flattering, just ~wear what you want~”. You don’t want to…

Most runway models have fairly small busts and hips, so things are gonna lie differently on the average woman, if they’re a size 4 or a size 24. Obviously, some trends are gonna look bad (or just different!) on women with bigger stomachs, bigger boobs, littler boobs, bigger arms. It’s weird that no one suggests not…

Part of the issue, I think, is how our culture has tied “flattering” and “looking skinnier” as the same thing for clothing to do. I’m plus sized, and I like clothes that flatter me—but by that I don’t mean “make me look skinnier” (I’m always going to be the same amount of woman taking up the same amount of space, no…

Have you seen or read anything about Dukakis? Did you see him on the campaign, refusing to do very routine things that would have gotten him elected? I believe that Bernie had the ego involved, but Dukakis? I think Dukakis had the public servant aspect, but nothing he said or did indicated that the man wanted to be…

Yo, not false. Tbh, I really don’t think Dukakis wanted to be president.

She’s not more or less of a human being, but we can and should be critiquing arguments that come from a patriarchal place. She’s allowed to do what she wants, but we are also allowed to point out that the ideals of chastity that she esposes are rooted in a very old book that essentially treats women as chattel. That’s…

This is LITERALLY how they tanked Dukakis’s campaign. Spread rumors that he was mentally deficient, that he was depressed (and that was considered disqualifying), and then when someone asked Reagan about it, he said he didn’t want to pick on an “invalid.”

Also, idk, but usually when I refer to my vadge or vagina, I’m not just talking about the lips—either I’m talking about the area in general, or multiple bits, internal and external.

Yea but vulva just doesn’t sound right. I literally don’t know how else to describe it, but even after concerted effort to use it colloquially, it never got as comfortable in casual conversation as “vadge”

Listen, I’m not saying you’re right, I’m not saying you’re wrong. A lot more than we care to admit, government is controlled by oldass lawyers who want to do shit the way they want, and the easiest way possible. I would 100% believe that she just wanted to keep using her shitty outdated phone that she understood.

LMAO, I can tell you (I deal with the federal government pretty often at work, and governmental people at like...national levels. So not pissy local chambers of commerce or whatever)—the government, in general (I’m sure science/com agencies have some different systems) is stuck in the past with emails/tech. Mostly,…

lmao you sound so fucking dumb

OMG ARE PUBLIC RESTROOMS SUPPOSED TO BE PROVIDING GENETIC TESTING? I’VE NEVER GOTTEN TESTED, AM I MISSING OUT?
