That’s a statement of fact: Swift is held up as an “Aryan goddess” by neo-Nazis. You’ll note that that quote doesn’t claim that Swift courted or enjoys that classification, simply that it exists.

This is racially charged, though. All other factors aside, Taylor Swift’s success is influenced by her whiteness while Cardi B’s success is influenced by her blackness. You can argue about how far that influence extends but you cannot genuinely argue that it does not exist.

See if you can spot the important word in the article’s title:

Believing that life begins at conception does not, by itself, make the believer anti-woman. Believing that a blastocyst/embryo/fetus is entitled to the same rights as the host person does not, by itself, make the believer anti-woman. But neither do those beliefs, by themselves, automatically sum to an anti-choice

The only organization I know of is Let America Vote. I don’t think they are a nonprofit and they are a pretty new organization but that might be a way to get connected to other organizations doing that kind of work.

I highly recommend getting a roommate who doesn’t cook or bake but inexplicably has a stand mixer anyway. It’s worked out super well for me.

Eventually the cost of cycling them out of circulation has to reach a point where they just say fuck it.

Those fears, however legitimate a motivating factor they may be (and that legitimacy is debatable), should not outweigh the existential fears these monuments were erected to instill.

What is the benefit of keeping Columbus Day? Columbus never set foot on mainland North America and had nothing to do with the founding of the US. Hell, they didn’t even name the continent after him. We should absolutely teach kids about Columbus but I see no reason to celebrate him.

There’s a difference between being a dominant person and being the dominant one in a romantic relationship. I agree that most of the female characters in the show are dominant people but in their romantic relationships they tend to be subservient. Of the women you listed: Brienne and Yara haven’t been shown in

OK.

Tormund definitely thinks that Brienne is a fierce warrior, but as one of the Free Folk, that’s not noteworthy to him since women of the Free Folk are expected (or at the very least allowed) to be warriors. To Tormund, Brienne is simply a hot woman in the same vein of the hot women he’s used to bedding. That’s why I

Podrick respects her as a knight and as a person. Tormund just thinks she’s hot.

Tormund’s crush is cute and hilarious but Brienne needs to end up with Podrick.

I’m not saying you should like her but I think her position is understandable. What is there, in Catelyn’s eyes, to stop Jon from being a threat to her children’s inheritance? Yes he’s a bastard but Ned is friends with the king and so could easily get him legitimized. Maybe Ned’s honor would prevent him from doing

It wouldn’t even the first time Jamie killed a ruling monarch who was a threat. The Mad King just threatened King’s Landing; Cersei’s a threat to the whole realm.

I’m with you on the show having misplaced priorities. Cersei and Tyrion are the extreme ends of the Lannister spectrum and portrayed by some of the best actors on the show. But no, let’s have a stupid fight that Theon wins through the magic of not having a dick.

This season really shows how much B&W were relying on the books to do their writing for them. Every major plot point in this season has had just the most ridiculous lead-in because B&W only know the big moments, don’t understand their significance, and clearly have no idea how to build up to them. They admit as much

Theon should have drowned when he hopped off the ship.
