My partner has a relative that I find to be Very Extra, but she almost always brings a big pyrex dish of buffalo chicken dip to parties so she’s great.

Dang it! Everyone got to the joke before me. xD

I’m sorry you’re so oppressed.

I actually think it’s a shitty apology. I don’t think he has evaluated or reckoned one tiny iota with his own reaction to the situation. He simply denied doing things that he clearly did. It sounds like he excused Tambor’s behavior because that is exactly what he tried to do.

I’m right there with you. I support reducing animal cruelty in agriculture and exploring meat alternatives, even if I don’t feel I can personally commit to being a vegetarian. No one else seems to get it. I was once told something along the lines of “but why eat worms if bacon still exists” and just didn’t know how to…

It is a ‘somebody touched dog balls’ joke. And although I think this particular ‘somebody touched dog balls’ joke is a shitty joke and should be removed, I don’t think people are saying that you can’t make STDB jokes at all. This *particular* STDB joke has the laugh hinge on the concept of disassociation while…

That’s exactly it. They don’t know how to just sit with their discomfort and think about why it is what it is.

My grocery store does a fundraising drive for the March of Dimes every year. They used to write the donator’s name on a preemie diaper, to give a visual of how tiny preemie babies are. This year they didn’t,…

I literally had to talk about this with my 24 YO son. He has a half brother who is 17, autistic, and who is upset that a girl that he liked had a boyfriend. He said that she flirted with him via text and kissed him, and he is mad that he isn’t with her. When another brother (16 YO) texted her to see what was going on,…

I was interviewed by several organizations recently about a dangerous man I met while pursuing a story, and was asked what women can do to avoid putting themselves in danger. I replied that it’s really up to women to do their jobs, and up to society to raise men who don’t become murderous crminals. I also said that I…

“End” was exactly what came to mind when I saw this post, although I prefer the version on Show (which is one of the best ever live albums in any genre, come fight me).

Thank you for this. Thank you for giving us a link to send people when we want to pull our hair out with frustration and we don’t have the energy to perform the emotional labor of lamenting all this for the millionth time. Thank you for this straightforward corroboration of everything we want to scream in people’s…

Great writing.

Sure, he’s met the basic level of respect for gay people, literally the least someone can do. But I’ve seen this painted as him being cool with the “LGBT+ community” elsewhere, and that’s just patently false. He still thinks that trans folks are against his god’s will, abominations like nuclear weapons. So he can kiss…

“Cool Pope is progressive!”

Presumably the god also made all those pedophiles priests that way, right?

“Who am I to judge?”

Sorry, but I’d take any reports on what the Pope “privately” said with a grain of salt, since he’s publically said trans people were akin to nuclear weapons. Not to mention how everyone tried to assign a lot more meaning to his “who am I to judge?” comments than was actually there when he was talking about celibate…

See also every bishop in Chile offereing to resign over the weekend, though they could have done more good by turning themselves into the police and spilling the beans on just what rapists they hid over the decades.

I’m sure there is an antique urn somewhere in Buckingham Palace that actual princesses can cry into when Katy Perry doesn’t like their fashion choices.

Asia Argento is a fucking badass.
