This this this. But I feel like that’s not a bug in the system, it’s a feature. Because it’s easier and way cheaper to design, cut, and sew for something that is essentially a long rectangle as opposed to a decagon with spikes.

I hope you can hear me audibly rolling my eyes at you.

No. There are people who think that not actively stoning trans folx in the streets means they are kind and/or tolerant. The first step to unfucking ourselves is realizing we might be transphobic and working through that on our own. Of course, trans visibility or lack thereof means that there’s a greater deal of…

Bless your heart for sitting through the entire hour. 

The logical and moral failing of “both sides” is mind-boggling. If 0.00001% believe one side and everyone else believes the other, there aren’t two sides. They’re giving equal time and legitimacy to harmful views as if they are subject to the same scrutiny. 

It still remains that they are part-time drivers getting around places they’re unfamiliar with and drive like absolute terrors, too. When I see someone veering or taking a sudden left turn from the right lane, their Lyft/Uber sticker and bright phone is highly conspicuous. 

You say “shitty cab drivers”, I say “people licensed and vetted who know the city”. I still take Lyft in a pinch because finding a cab in Boston is bullshit, but non-professional drivers who swarm into the city from New Hampshire and Maine and have no idea where they are if it weren’t for Waze/Google Maps inside their…

They’re doing so because Uber/Lyft is priced under market, creating an artificial demand for a “luxury” product. It sometimes costs me as little as $5-$6 to go a few miles from my home to my office and would be about $3.50 on a bus and train. Figuring what my time is worth, I grab a Lyft. But between depreciation,…

Dakota Fanning is 25 and Dakota Johnson is 29 ( I googled) and Chris Martin is 42, which makes him a creep regardless of which Dakota he’s dating. There’s a reason someone his age isn’t dating him....................

The website is just an aggregator, you should still do your due diligence just like you would when you hire anyone. That said, if you can only afford X dollars and have to have daycare, you’re going to get what you can afford. 

Not understanding/not caring about the topic but still looking interested and engaged to make the other person feel good is a highly valuable relationship skill. For example, all I have to do is say “so what’s your fantasy baseball strategy this year” to my boyfriend and occasionally pepper my reaction with “haha” and…

Oh. Then hell yeah kids, smash some muffins. Honestly, if you’re keeping your kids alive, it’s a victory on most days. 

One pack of these (not sure if that’s 1 mini-muffin or 2) has 180 calories for the blueberry flavor, which is pretty high. They’re also high in sugar and sodium. So it’s not the most nutritionally amazing food, but it’s not rat poison. A few of these a week are a blip. 

Hi. It might help you to think about it like this. Think about your current difficult circumstances, working 6 days a week and barely scraping by, now add to that being black where you live. Does your life get harder? I bet it does. You’ll find that you get followed around stores, or get pulled over more frequently,…

Boy do I have some news for you about the fact that White Hollywood has been making movies with almost exclusively white actors for... since film began. White directors and white casting agents routinely don’t cast black actors or really any actors of color, or they cast the same 5-10. White men are always in an…

Yeah, it’s real childish to push for continuous progress of human rights. Silly us ungrateful millennials, yearning for basic shit like justice and equality.

Literally no. I’ve spent half my life living abroad, including countries trying to recover from colonization, and I’m not about to take this “other people have it so much worse” angle. It’s reductive and also, would anyone ever apply it to happiness? Like, hey, you can’t be happy because other people are SO much…

Of course, hence the “(kinda)“ modifier. 

It’s not an argument against historical perspective, obviously understanding the long arc of history is valuable but you’re saying that these claims undermine the credibility of the civil rights movement? In the eyes of whom, exactly? In the eyes of people who think “welp, the blacks/gays/browns have enough rights,…

Yeah, I’m not sure that young LGBTQ folx in the US should be “grateful they don’t live in Brunei”. That’s a super weird way of making sure people can’t push for change. Water sucks in Flint? Have you BEEN to Sudan? We compare our situation to what it ought to be, not to what it was before. Would you tell someone black…
