Yup, cool kids dressed like Madonna.

I really like her, but self-partnered sounds as pretentious as conscious decoupling. It also sounds like you do not want to date someone because you are dating yourself already, as opposed to being single because you have not met someone that you want to be with at that point in your life, which is the case for most…

Yes, white guys are clearly best equipped to write a romcom about an Asian-American woman and her Singaporean fiance.

I’ve always been astounded by the fact that some people devote their lives, careers and money to deny a group of people their rights. Why?

She does not imply that. Actually, she is not good at implying at all. She just says what she means. She is straight out saying that air travel is a major contributor to the extinction of humanity. Make of that what you will, but is a fact. She asks people to avoid flying as much as they can. Flying overseas for a…

Does he also donate to KKK to “address these challenges”?

This is beyond privilege. If you could not see that Reagan was racist (or willfully ignored thousands of articles, books and opinion pieces explaining precisely how he was racist), you were a racist yourself (not to the degree that you would call people monkeys but probably “blacks are lazier than whites and that is…

At no point is this wrong. What is wrong is making people pay exorbitant amounts of tuition for their education.

I don’t think it’s possible to design a safe, forward facing seat. I wish it were. During a crash, people fly forward. Adult bodies with fully developed neck muscles can handle most crashes when they are wearing seat belts. But baby necks are too weak (and their heads are too big for their bodies) and even the…

I think many valid points get lost because instead of criticizing our collective hypocrisy around queerness (which presents itself in accepting only a certain type of queer people), he puts the onus on Buttigieg and gay men like him. That’s not fair. I am not so much interested in commenting on what queer people do so…

You cannot see the connection between CIS gendered white people playing POC and trans people on the screen AND babies in cages on the border, but they’re closely related. This is all one big issue -a group of people that used to control everything, a group of people that did not even let minorities and LGBTI appear on…

Thank you for that most excellent explanation! I had no idea. Now I’ll pay attention.

What does BE Best mean anyway? I feel like she came up with it and nobody in her staff had the guts to tell her how weird it sounded and they just went along with it.

As a person who worked on this issue in the past, I am really upset by this attitude. There is a real refugee crisis around the globe. The tragedy is beyond what most people can imagine. If people only understood the magnitude and the shittiness of the situation, they would support anyone, no matter how much they…

This is also a good read.

What do we do with this?

We demand one-year paid maternity leave (like developed nations do. I know the US is no longer a developed country according to many criteria, but it can easily get back there).

We demand insurance-coverage for post-natal midwife support.

We truly ban underhanded formula company strategies to…

Neo, Speed guy, Johnny Utah, Ted. He is known for so many iconic roles. But, oh, he was so preternaturally pretty in Point Break. I will never forget the day I watched that movie in the theater. I had the biggest celebrity crush of my life (which lasted over a decade).

Hopefully not a legacy.

There is evidence that autism rates increase with the age of the father and the air pollution levels that the mother has been exposed to. I bet there is also a relationship between other types of pollution and autism (and many other disorders and diseases). Autism rates also increase when two people who have relatives…

But marriages are business contracts! That is the reason they exist. Otherwise, why would you want to have church and/or government approved sex?
