Yeah. The fact that these guys are Chechen baffles me, and literally every one of my friends in policy and journalism has had the same reaction. Chechnya still isn't totally stable, but their fight's with Russia, not the US, and for damn good reason. No one in policy really talks about Chechnya anymore because…
That gif is appropriate for all occasions. I'm convinced.
His concern for her welfare should have extended to the payment of child support payments to the child's mother. It didn't. He merely expected the woman he impregnated to care for his progeny on his terms. When that didn't happen, he went to court. It is not the business of the Supreme Court to facilitate abusive…
He *did* ditch her there. He had an opportunity to take responsibility for her and he refused. He has no business raising her.
Amen. It really bothers me that we're ignoring this fact. He didn't care about the fate of this child until he realized the mother had made the decision to put her up for adoption. It's bullshit.
Yeah....no. The father relinquished his rights via text message (!) and only retracted the decision once he realized that the mother had exercised her right to put the child up for adoption. That's extremely controlling behavior, and I'd have thought that on Jezebel, at least, we could all acknowledge that a woman has…
Um, no. I have a genetic disease that makes it difficult for me to fight off illnesses. I'm not about to respect someone else's decision to weaken herd immunity because they can't be bothered to do their research. They're putting me (and my brother, and everyone else with illnesses like ours) at risk out of stubborn…
It's more that I want to learn Arabic for Arabic's sake. This is a great idea, thanks!
I'm in that situation now. I want to learn Arabic but have no money to fund tuition or overseas travel right now. So frustrating!
My most recent work focuses on the Muslim Brotherhood in an attempt to produce balanced coverage that dispels some of the more popular myths about them. Many of those myths are perpetuated by the US. And I never hesitate to criticize the US for its use of torture and drone strikes.
And you make a good point. It *is*…
The first point isn't worth addressing. The author described 'interpersonal skills.' It's important to build relationships with your colleagues and I don't think it's helpful to describe it as being a 'gossip buddy.' The second approach I'll address because I am actually in policy, and because I actually do agree with…
It's hard, honestly. I have an MA in global policy and at the undergraduate level I studied with someone who worked for the State Dept. At the moment, the field is totally saturated and despite my qualifications, I've found it really difficult to establish myself professionally. Right now, I write and present papers…
This lady in foreign policy says thanks, x100, for this article. More like this please!
It a lot more complicated than that, honestly. It's a saga, which means that the character arcs are fairly expansive. Over the course of the series, the social problems created by the exploitation of women really become more apparent, and get examined in a critical manner (in my opinion). Ditto for the exploitation of…

This sounds like a personal problem.
I don't know what universe you're posting from, but it sounds nice. Tell me more.
