I don’t believe this at all. I know my experience is anecdotal but I’ve spoken to others who had similar things happen.  My brother and I ingested pcp at home when I was 8 and he was 6.  It was horrific.  My mother was a drug addict and was careless about the things she left around.  I don’t know that she meant for us…

My father, who is 78 and a Bill Buckley-style Republican, gets his coffee at a shop with a trans man working the register. My dad manages to call this man by his (masculine) name or “Sir” every morning. He has said he, “doesn’t really get it” but then he shrugs because why would he care? What’s it to him or Vlaming…

yeah, but see: then they’d have to pay them a decent wage (well, I mean, not this trash palace, because they’re all known for stiffing their workers, documented or no. But somebody would, which means once they have papers they could leave).

I agree that the tasks you describe are relegated to women and that it is BS. However, the things you described mostly sound like additional unpaid LABOR labor, not emotional labor. It seems like we’re trending towards calling all the tasks women are assigned ‘emotional labor’ because women get it done.

Here in California, they will transport incarcerated parents to the dependency hearings. I believe it’s their absolute right to be present and the law requires them to be transported. I can’t believe other states don’t do this.

A family friend told me when I was about 21 that you can have it all but you can’t have it all at the same time and I’ve never forgotten that. It’s so true, especially if your version of “it all” is career and family.

And it’s not always enough to lean in, because that shit doesn’t work all the time.

My policy is to believe the women in these cases, but I will admit, this sounds like it could be a case where everyone is telling the truth and the perspectives just vary. (Leaving out the assault case, which I’d need to know more about.) Whether he’a guilty or not, welcoming investigation should absolutely be the…

I gotta say, these accusations seem flimsy at best. The assault one seems odd, and sure, investigate it. But with the other two, it sounds like all parties involved are telling the truth. It’s just that accidentally putting your hand in a weird place for a photo is... Well, it can happen pretty easily. And a casual…

Definitely don’t want to underplay the stigmas around sex work. But maybe the reason there aren’t lots of pregnant sex workers is something more mundane, such as..... having sex gets really difficult as it progresses. Again, I don’t want to pretend like the stigmas aren’t there, but like, plenty of women who aren’t…

All men have issues, what are you gonna do?

I mean, there is a difference between having a opinions and judging another woman’s decisions, and trying to outright stop women from making choices you disagree with.

I’m a feminist and I support reproductive rights and I don’t think that sex work, or prostitution, is an awesome career choice that we should all celebrate. No. No No. I’m in favor of whatever social services can make sex workers safe and preserve their health. I will advocate for all the girls and women who deal in…

The problem with on-site daycare in the US is the Oklahoma City bombing (April of 1995). A truck bomb on the street send waves of energy into the building, including the day care facility near the front. 15 children were killed and the media was full of images of firefighters carrying tiny casualties. In the days…

The Ledger also reports another happy conclusion of Reeves’ decision on Tuesday, which is that a similar ban passed in Louisiana in May will not go into effect, because “the law’s effective date depends on the outcome of the lawsuit challenging Mississippi’s 15-week ban, according to the Center for Reproductive…

It is undeniable, and quite jarring, in gif form.

So is my dishwasher just really crappy then? I feel I have to give everything a scrub before it goes into the machine or the dishes don’t actually get clean.

I hate headlines like this. I hate stories like this.

I’ve enjoyed this site over many years but please stop with the clickbait headlines regarding science and nutrition.

Old man shakes fist at cloud.
