but I’m not going to jump down someone’s throat for using words like that in casual conversation.

If the FDA would like to recommend a better way to eat my feelings I’d love to hear it.

Been stationed there and unfortunately among all the service branches the culture of the Marine Corps tends to be the least, shall we say, progressive? The Commandant of the Marine Corps (Conway) was the most vocal opponent of the repeal of DADT and open integration of gay service members, right now their brass are…

Several anti-vax organizations have been pooling their collective intellectual powers

I think people should be legally liable for all crimes committed with their firearms. The only exception would be something like you had it in a properly secured gun safe in your car to drive to the firing range and your car got stolen.

I cannot imagine that. I just cannot. My kidlet was what I called a sleep screamer. She would be fast asleep, and then suddenly raise her head, scream at the top of her lungs (while still asleep!), continue to scream for about 5 minutes, and then drop back asleep like nothing had happened. This happened about once an…

Oh, look, more evidence of Amber’s abuse people won’t admit as legit because they think Gone Girl is the most common scenario in society, instead of an entitled angry addict becoming violent towards a woman. Now it makes sense why she was carrying her laptop while leaving her lawyer’s office. Wonder who will get the…

Ok, I’m fully on board (esp bc this is my struggle!) but...

That’s not Christianity. That’s using Christianity and god as an excuse to be an oppressive misogynst asshole. And I say that as an atheist. This is not how I see the Christians in my life living.

Exactly. I mean, if Tom Daley *wants* to wear that swimsuit to the opening ceremony, I for one certainly won’t complain. But I doubt he will, and I’m sure whatever their team does wear will look equally pretentious.

And watery tarts lobbing swords.

My relationship with Prince was musical before it was visual so I’d already decided this guy was a monster, a complete force to be reckoned with. When I eventually did start to see his videos and his presence I could see the feminine presence but I never felt Prince was actually feminine.

Thundershirts! The concept also works for humans (as an anxious type I have found that wearing a sports bra instead of a normal bra on bad days really helps!)

Welp, that’s a search for after work...

she was intellectually pretty much my equal.

I just love it when, after a lifetime of searching, a person finds their porpoise in life.

Now I’m confused because Europe uses the metric system; maybe I’m only a 6 in America, but it converts to a 10 overseas?
