Also fun, the Guardian just posted a story about him declaring the need to return to 18th century values.

So... legal slavery, no votes for women, married women are essentially the property of their husbands, full citizenship only for white male land owners... got it.

This is good, if sure to be shortlived news. But the inevitable appeal will yet again put the lie to the GOP claim that they care about women’s health, and sadly this ruling will likely be overturned and that overturning sustained by the right wing state courts and federal district courts, and if it gets that far, the…

It does now, yes.

It isn’t streaming yet, it’s been doing the festival circuit and is currently only in limited theatres. I wish this was made clear in the review (it only mentions the recent festivals, not where to find it to watch it).

Hyperemesis gravidarum doesn’t just lead to weight loss. It means you can’t eat or drink anything, often for months, and can die from severe dehydration and malnutrition. It is still among the leading causes of death during pregnancy in the developing world. Charlotte Brontë died from it. It is debilitating and can…

It seems like this case wasn’t the one they felt was most advantageous for complete gutting of the Voting Rights Act. But Thomas’s dissent is designed to provide a foundation for an approach and accompanying arguments that would allow them to do so.

That’s great, it’s too bad they also run a high kill shelter there. Don’t ever surrender a pet to them, especially a cat.

PETA runs a high kill shelter in Norfolk Virginia called PETA’s Community Animal Project. They got in big trouble for not telling people that there is a very high likelihood that the pet they surrender to the shelter will be killed. If you live in or near Norfolk and can no longer care for your pet, and want your pet…

PETA is a trash organization that cares more about publicity for themselves than animal welfare. They are the nonprofit equivalent of a gutter tabloid. This is the organization that tricked people into surrendering beloved family pets to them and then brutally killed those pets pretty immediately, while lying about it…

They won’t, until it impacts them personally. And even then, it’s iffy, because they have become a right wing authoritarian identity cult. Which is why the GOP targets certain demographics for increasingly fanatical support. Having grown up with right wing evangelicals, I can tell you they are really good at…

I wrote out a whole rant about the history of this kind of stuff in America, and how the far right will not stop until they are stopped in every direction, including at the ballot box repeatedly over the course of decades so that the federal judiciary currently overrun with far right lifetime appointees can be…

Other outlets have blurred the picture of the boy to at least try and help protect his identity, it’s rather sad to see Jezebel not having the same respect for this kid.

By “protect life” they mean potential life that has no voice, that they can twist and spin however they want. If they actually wanted to help or protect women and other pregnant people, they’d treat them like human beings. But it’s clear they don’t believe they are human beings. Not really. Just incubators.…

I’m so old I have no idea who any of these people are 😂 

These are the same fucking people who wrung hands over fake “death panels” when the ACA was going through Congress, just because Democrats wanted to make sure end of life care was supported. It’s just ridiculous, the hypocrisy. Don’t ever let them get away with saying they are for “small government.” 

Is this actually wishing Keanu dead? Saying “why do these guys have to die and why does so-and-so survive” is not actually wishing so-and-so was dead. It’s in poor taste, but it’s not actually wishing him dead.

But I guess hot takes are gonna hot take.

She obviously did not call the state about the birds, otherwise Emmanuel would also have been euthanized even if he was kept separately from all the other birds. Every bird on a farm will be euthanized if bird flu is reported, and if she is a GOP type (is she? Or has she changed since those old tweets?) or “free…

These are the same people who scorned Mr. Rogers for teaching children empathy. 

A good friend of mine moved to rural PA. she started sliding rightward until finally she started saying white supremacist nonsense and became a gun nut. I had been calling her on this stuff and she finally decided to cut off our decade long friendship. She had been pretty solidly moderate and fairly sensible before…

This is all part of the plan. Christian adoption agencies are a billion dollar industry, and they are rubbing their hands together just waiting to profit from unnecessarily inflicted suffering, which they assume they will.
