Jenner doesn’t get to decide who’s a woman either. Jenner’s “choice” was to remain a gender non-conforming freak on the cover of the National Enquirer or a glamor girl on the cover of Vanity Fair—and under those pressures, what did her choice actually mean? When the media punished her gender non-conformity with…

Ageism and name-calling are not the answer.

The guy who posted this on reddit very likely stole it from this: http://2010.liaentries.com/winners/?id_me…

That ad came out, in Norway, in 2010. I posted it to Reddit and it has been written about here: http://www.ibtimes.com/pulse/we-have-…

I don't believe it was a call to Redditor Cruz, at all.

White people MUST be involved. You are the majority, you hold the power. Without the support of white people, any movement is dead in the water.

The problem, as I see it, from the "good" white people perspective is that we know 1) there's a very vocal minority of whites that are hateful assholes wherever they get the chance, and 2) there's a gigantic silent majority that are not racist, but aren't even paying attention to injustices. If the "good" white…

Is a member of another oppressed minority (First Nations), I disagree quite strongly with this.

Confrontation sucks, but it's never as bad as what might happen. Maybe send her/him an email.

No, I've been on the receiving end of that and it does hurt. This particular person I'm talking about is an ex that I had a shitty relationship with and we've just kept in touch over the last year or so after breaking up. He knows he pushes people away and he's aware that he's made every girlfriend he's had unhappy…

Just circling back: Is there anyone who is considering—we're, as Stevie Nicks says, getting older too—interested in elder care that is humane and actually dynamic and interesting? Perhaps another post.

If the shoe was on the other foot would you really want to be ghosted by a friend?

It actually went well. I did cry, but she's kind of used to that. So it ended up going something like "I hurt." "I didn't mean to hurt you. I'm sorry." "I know." "I'll keep your feelings in mind."

Oh dear, good luck! I'm an all emotions=tears person as well and it makes resolving conflict or awkward conversations really difficult because other people react to the tears not the words I'm saying. Just say what you've got to say and let her process it and come back to you when she's ready to talk about it with…

Young cats play rough with each other - it's important not to reward it. My current 7 month old rescue meezer is fetching right now - he gets mouthy on occasion - I act hurt if he bites too hard and he'll stop. Whatever you do, don't play rough with a kitten - you'll get a rough cat.

Okay, people, wrestling and rough housing with your cat is NOT COOL. Buy a feather toy and some mice/jingly bells/shiny balls/whatever to play with them and redirect them/leave the area if they start to think your hand or body is a toy.

If for some reason you become unable to care for the cat the cat is…

I'm going to tell my friend that I miss her and that I feel hurt when she breaks plans she's made with me. Going to use a lot of "I" statements and speak very calmly. Not going to cry (all emotion leads to tears for me). This is going to go well.

I actually have a much bigger problem with the people who were or ARE STILL silent on racial issues, who will post til the cows come home about their kids' craft night and LGBT rights and global warming and couldn't or somehow still can't muster a single like even on the topic of racism. THEY ACT LIKE IT DOESN'T…

My favorite is someone who put up a screen cap of a bunch of bullshit Fox statistics, one of which was that killings of black Americans has gone down 70% in the past 50 years. I don't think anyone is surprised that there has been a precipitous decline in the murders of black men since 1964, the middle of the f'ing…

Also known as The Interviewee. In other words, the only way to sustain a conversation with them is by acting like Jimmy Fallon. "So, I hear you have a new project!" "Wow, that's amazing!" "HA HA HA HA HA!"

No, it is not the "same thing". Not at all. Genetically engineered foods are NOT hybrids. For someone who is blasting others for their opposition to GMOs with the claim that we don't know the science, you are severely lacking in scientific knowledge yourself.
