I agree with you.

I’m hella white, live in TX, and I call Epic Bullshit on anyone claiming this woman was simply ignorant. NOBODY around here is ignorant that fried chicken and watermelon is a racist trope—or else how could they have been her automatic go-tos for MLK day?? The logic doesn’t flow. And her apology and subsequent…

A thousand times This.

Thank you for clarifying this. As a black sheep from red country, I find myself caught somewhere in the no-man’s-land between both camps: often taking “pro-lifers” to task because they’re NOT pro-life, they’re just pro-birth and all their egregious social policies reflect this. And I feel that lot of abortions happen…

It can be both.

Editor here: the latter. About 30% of writers plagiarize to varying degrees. The ones who do so blatantly tend to be serial plagiarists. There’s various softwares and databases set up to catch them, but the sheer volume of published works makes those pretty hit-or-miss. The most effective method is still the human one…

I was reasearching the recent Cures Act, as I work for a major pediatric society that’s deeply conflicted about it passing; while they’re thrilled about increased money for medical research, they’re incredibly worried about the decreased safety parameters for pharmecuetical companies.

Nothing, not even a house/car/baby/cross-country move—until I took my first trip by myself, making all the arrangements myself, and bought the airline ticket, motel, rental car. It was empowering like nothing else, for some reason.

I’ve come to the conclusion over the last few weeks that American women need to organize a legitimate, hard-core sex strike.

Excellent parsing of the libertarian mind.

On a dating site, one dude’s opening line to me was “You are a total Barb.” I genuinely had no clue how to respond.

This sounds like the beginning of a horror film.

Treating Autism as thought it were some kind of defamatory accusation is truly disgusting. What a horrible, terrible person. That poor kid.

Thank you....but honestly? It’s been harrowing. So many old friends and acquaintances have shown their true colors through rhetoric and by straight-up escalating verbal accusations or attacks. No matter how calm, respectful, or factually supported my arguments, they’ve just gotten nastier. Some of them aren’t that…

My boyfriend stood staunchly by the same opinion yesterday. He’s my ex-boyfriend today.

legit lmao

THIS.

True, but not turning up to vote is the same as saying you’re cool with a Trump presidency.
