It's real. Nick Bostrom is an academic philosopher with a fairly straightforward argument about it. "In Defense of Post-human Dignity" is the title and you can find it online.

I was about to #notallboymom you until your last sentence. I shudder whenever someone says "boys will be boys." My children don't get a pass on bad behavior and disrespect because of their dicks, and neither should anyone else's. 

I like your kinja name thingy. Philosopher?

How about Thor and Captain America travel the nine realms cracking jokes and smiles and occasionally making out with each other. 10/10?

Are we still doing “safe space”? I thought we’d moved on to “brave space.” Uncomfortable ideas are ok, but threatening or hurting others with our words is not. My classroom is my classroom and I'm not going to let some bigot student spout off in it no matter what 45 did with his sharpie.

Doesn’t Michelle Obama talk about trying to get her big law firm to recruit from non-Ivies to increase diversity in her book? I seem to recall that.

My husband would never, ever have asked my mom or my dad if he could marry me, and if he’d have even thought it was ok, I’d have made sure he knew it wasn’t. Luckily he knew it was not ok. Fast forward 10ish years to my younger sister getting married. She buys all of this patriachal bull shit and her husband does this…

Non-coastal? Third coast is the best coast! 

^This right here. It’s also lovely in the summer and is a vibrant little city with a beautiful shoreline. (Can you tell I love my city?)

I have a three bedroom, 2.5 bath just 10 mins from city center. How much you think I can get for it? 

Like 1000s of Harleys every 5 years, and 1000s of people here for summerfest every summer? We'll be okay. Maybe I can rent out my house? Just north of downtown? Sleeps 10.

I think "host" is more accurate, "mother" is used intentionally to make her seem like a failed woman, a delinquent parent, etc. rather than a woman with an unwanted embryo in her uterus, which she has no obligation to host for 9 months.

You are right about this. I'm removed from my own miscarriage a bit and less triggered now, but I could totally see how this would have broken me a few years ago. I'm so very sorry, I hope they change the image.

The actor who played Brian got pretty hot. I’m actually kind of team Brian. I married a Brian. 40 year old me likes to think I'd have picked Brian if I were Angela, but teenage me was all about Jordan. I still like the way he leaned, but yeah, team Brian. 

My doula had us write a birth preference or something (I can’t remember the exact language) because “plan” is too rigid. Giving birth is crazy and a million things can go wrong, which is why necessary medical interventions save lives. That said, the point here is that there are too many unnecessary c-sections. With my…

I agree. Something like 80% of people who have had a c-section are good candidates to at least try for abac, and I think statistics show that more than half will succeed.

This is going to be my script when I call my old school dem rep.

So, let me get this right, PG&E were the ones who weren’t raking the forest properly?

With Grover it is all about the capes. He and the Count could have had a cape-off like on the Capist!

Milwaukee is solidly blue. There's some bullshit in between that's totally MAGAful though.
