what exactly is this “better than abortion”? Being forced into motherhood? being forced into carrying a non-viable fetus to term? Having to stay in an abusive relationship?

I don’t let cars having the “Choose Life” license plates merge in front of me, even if they politely have their turn signals on.

This is more of an Saturday Night Social post, but there’s a blizzard coming and I may not have power (and internet access) by that time.

The Republican Party should just adopt this image.

I agree with all you said except stop being friends. You don’t have any misguided racists or misogynists in your friend or family group? A brother or boyfriend or boyfriends friends who makes homophobic jokes? I feel like we all have some clueless people in our lives and all we can do is try and educate them a bit at…

I really like your patient responses. A lot of the Jez echo-chamber is filled with “Get new friends, get a different job, move to a more tolerant place, don’t go home for the holidays if it’s so horrible”, etc. There are very few people who agree with me ideologically and I’d be a lonely, lonely person if I shunned…

The difference between “building your immune system” and “vaccines” is basically the difference between learning to juggle with foam balls and learning to juggle with running chainsaws.

The other day I took my kids to this homeschool thing at the local science centre. It somehow attracted the more umm...stereotypical homeschoolers that everybody here hates. That’s not usually how it is at these things.

When my sister was on her deathbed, I was driving back from the hospital and say a lottery sign saying the jackpot was $45 million. It struck me for the first time how money really can’t do everything, because it could not have helped her survive.

Two Corinthians walk into a bar, hit their heads really hard, and vote for Trump.

“getting” egg-shelly? When it comes to comedy, Jez is all egg-shells thin skin and no sense of humour, all the time.

Fully agreed. I find myself doing a lot of eye-rolling these days.

It seems extreme that simply recalling the first name — while otherwise using the feminine pronoun throughout, and never calling today’s Caitlyn Bruce instead — would be “transphobic.” It’s getting to egg-shelly around here.

25lbs!

That is the face of a kitty who has seen... things.

Is this cat okay?

They are! WHY NOT JUST POST THOSE. The women in the original portraits are all absolutely gorgeous.

No. If someone yells shit at you, you're still not allowed to kill them.

Still watching the marathon, and i just finished a raspberry-chia kombucha drink. YUUUUUMMMM. I tried to go to Trader Joe’s today, but they were CLOSED! So I went to Whole Foods instead. It worked out well. I flirted a little (i.e. just talked to) with a cute young guy who works there and that was nice. I need to…
