Yeah and the people at ivies will be the new politicians and CEOs. People on the left need to stop acting like racism and sexism is a generational thing. It makes people complacent thinking that society will naturally evolve. Not only is that naive, it erases the hard work that civil rights leaders did in the past.…

Hey, I’m an old, menopausal woman. Let’s not stereotype based on age and reproductive status. I’m pro-choice, all the way.

The HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN, cited in the article) is a multi-country collaborative effort that includes US researchers and has had several earlier vaccine candidates, including a couple that made it to human trials. There are certainly huge amounts of money pumped into HIV research, but the reason we don’t…

This isn’t simply about politics. If you are racist or support racists, I not only disagree with that stance, that stance is actively dangerous to me. So I can’t be friends with anyone who supports the Orange Man and his policies.

If this was about politics that would be valid. But it’s not. It’s about racism, misogyny, islamophobia, sexual assault. It’s about installing a Neo Nazi in the White House and making a mentally deranged liar Attorney General. It’s about Stop & Frisk and Roe v. Wade and discriminatory bathroom laws. It’s about white…

Hey heading out to Trump protest right now. Bummed that none of my friends are into it even though its right outside their front door. Wish me safety and luck! 

that’s like, 2 inches of thread and a safety pin. for $4 fucking dollars that she hasn’t decided if she’s going to donate yet.

I’ve been aggressively sanding cutting boards in my workshop...and crying.

I decided to become a doggie foster parent, and I fucking love it! My first baby got adopted about within 3 days, and I’ve had my second one since Monday. I’m absolutely in love with him. He’s a chiweenie, and he favorite activity is taking literally every toy out of the toy box and excitedly rotating which toy he…

This is what I came here to say. I’m not trying to be brave, I’m just trying to live my life.

I seriously do not feel brave . I want  people to respect my choice without there being a reason for it. like fuck off already.

Sex positivity just doesn’t magically become empowering because you decide it is - it’s like, oh wow, your idea of empowerment just happens to coincide with a patriarchical standard of beauty and sexual availability. What a coinkydink!

One of my good male friends lives in Portland and he’s expressed a lot of frustration with the dating scene there as well. I feel like your experiences mirror mine in a lot of ways and it’s so disheartening. I think what you said is so on point about finding the person that’s fucked up in a way that suits you +…

Please listen to all the hopeful Jezzies on here. I happen to not be one.

I think it’s been a very long time since I’ve posted on a SNS but I just need to vent about dating. Not really sure if I’m looking for advice, but hey those of you smarter and wiser, have at it.

While it’s possible, people rarely change. If you go into it, go into it with your eyes open. But a phrase like “only source of real joy in his life” seems like a really big red flag to me.

Seconded, I cannot with those pants. The turn-ups look ridiculous! Like they were too long and that was all they had time to do, instead of tailoring them.

theres no way she doesnt have her cellphone, car keys and some pin money down in those cuffs.

I feel like a lot of ladies from the 1940s would disagree. Though the main problem with high-waisted pants is that people seem to have forgotten how to get them properly tailored. Especially because it’s a menswear inspired look which requires some sharp-ass tailoring. And that the high waist must hit people at…
