I had a similar thought. She says that part of the evangelical experience is a relationship not only with god, but with other individuals who do not yet know god. STOP RIGHT THERE. You are pursuing a relationship with someone who does not want a relationship with you. That is creepy and wrong. Don’t be that guy who’s…

It’s not unpopular so much as it is just wrong.

It’s incredibly annoying to see people bring up stuff like this when it’s been debunked one hubdred times over.

I think most of these completely unpassable bills are really just about soundbytes for attack ads in the next (and by that I mean “ETERNAL AND NEVERENDING”) campaign cycle.

As a fellow teacher, I agree with you. No guns in the classroom - not in my students’ hands or mine. Mind you, I AM good under pressure and I’ve handled guns numerous times. Furthermore, I’ve survived two different incidents when an unstable teen put a gun to my head, and one where a student threatened to beat me up…

I feel like the outspoken, vitriolic racism took a major upswing when Obama won the primary in 2008 and it never really went away. My serious concern is that if Hilary gets the nomination, the country’s dormant sexism is going to erupt in much the same way, and if she dares to win, we’ll have to endure 8 years of it…

I recommend cats. Or a pup, pups are always VERY excited to see you. Just, don’t get an iguana. There is nothing wrong with having a reptile, I LIKE REPTILES, but I fear that everyone who has a reptile will become that ONE reptile owner who starts wearing Hawaiian shirts and going to their special breed of reptile…

I’m not surprised at all. It’s how we raise boys, we teach them to think they’re the shit and that all the other guys are the shit too. We raise girls to be nervous balls of self-doubt and to be wary of and/or competitive with other women. And it’s not like feminists are doing a good job at the whole solidarity thing,…

One thing that makes me nervous about both Clinton and Sanders is that both have a lot of plan for people who want to go to college, but not a lot for those of us already in debt. Or, as Sally Mae will refer to us “our last chance to make money."

I’m a survivor of breast cancer, and the gendering of bc treatment makes me very angry. I’ll never forget, shortly after my diagnosis, being handed a pink “What to Expect” book with a teddy bear and a rose on the cover. Before my medical center opened it’s pastel-tinted, flower-themed “women’s hospital,” I shared the…

I asked him if pantsuits were in for men and if that’s why he was wearing one, he was quite confused and a bit defensive. “It’s a suit” “No, it’s really not”

Brendan Dassey already has good attorneys, so why would she be representing him? Lawyers from the Center for Youthful Convictions at Northwestern Law School have been representing Dassey since at least 2012. That center is run by Steven Drizin, who is one of the foremost experts on false confessions in the country.…

the “one voice forgotten to this point is Teresa Halbach.”

See, for me the thing isn’t his innocence or guilt. It’s that the police and prosecutors were hell-bent on convicting him so much that they completely fucked up the handling of the case. EVERY step of the way was mishandled. So, his guilt/innocence becomes secondary to the fact that the department is corrupt as hell.…

‘Anyhow, I had this onion on my belt, which was the style at the time...’

New reports have said that drone operators face enormous levels of stress, guilt, and trauma as a result of their jobs. People who witness their friends — and even their supposed enemies — killed or hurt in the line of battle can be and are still affected.

So much Harry Potter and Die Hard. This movie, this scene and this voice gets me every time.

If a life well-lived is measured in the effect one has on the people they leave behind, then it’s clear that Alan Rickman’s time here was well-spent.

It’s just like Bob Dylan’s Hurricane...
