While I do agree, it is a church. You have to ask for forgiveness for having meat on Friday. This is a clear step to stop ostracizing women who get abortions from their church communities. And that is important and shouldn’t be treated like this was a bad thing the Pope did.

I don’t agree with any religion, but it’s also not my place to shit on any of their parades.

thank you for saying this, d.

Exactly. In these scenarios you have to understand the context, and the way the Catholic Church works. I was raised Catholic but am now agnostic, and while I don’t think Pope Francis gets a pat on the back, it seems more productive to acknowledge that this is a small forward step for the Church rather than lambast the…

Oh I’ll wake up, to any sound of engines

True story: My period is now over a week late. I’m pretty sure the election of Trump has just caused my ovaries to go out of business, but yesterday I took a pregnancy test just to be sure. While I was walking to the drug store to get it, I was thinking about how before the election I had decided if I got pregnant at…

I’m not even Catholic, and I find your post kind of offensive...The church is oppressive, but as condesending as the Pope’s announcement may sound to many of us, it IS a tiny step forward for the church institution.

Okay why is this article so negative? Of course it is considered a sin when getting an abortion. The important part is forgiveness. In many countries around the world these women aren’t allowed to repent and therefore aren’t allowed to take sacrament. And that basically makes you an outcast in your church, and in many…

If you haven’t seen “Southside With You” yet, it may help you prepare for the on-coming depression, malaise..... I saw it over the summer and shed a few tears, when during a couple really sweet scenes I thought “Oh! They won’t be our First Couple any more...”

January 20th is going to feel like a funeral.

My Queen

This looks pretty awesome, although I can’t think of Obama in college without this:

This will make me like Obama more, which will make January even more unbearable.

They did it to Trevor Noah, but then again that was actually a bit more noteworthy.

They re still pissed at one first lady who “didnt know her place” - but america forgives republicans everything.

Attempt being the key word. Anyone who wanted to sell for anything approaching market value needed to finalise two weeks ago before this security nightmare became an issue.

I actually met an older man the other day who lives in Trump Tower. He said it is an unbelievable nightmare and that it took him almost an hour to get from the street corner up to his apartment the other day - crowds, blockades, security stops. They were having family for Thanksgiving, but that has been changed…

There goes the lives of how many people who live and work in their building or near it.

The relationships in this family are so bizarre. Even the way the ”family source” talks about Melanie and Baron... “they’re very close”... well I would certainly fucking hope so?? He’s a child and that’s his mom, one would just assume they were close. It would only be noteworthy if they weren’t, am I right?

“...Melania is extremely close to Baron,” the source told the Post, “and they have become closer during the campaign...”
