C.A. Pinkham is a racist, ableist piece of shit. He hates three things with a passion: Latinos, “ethnic” food, and people with neurological disorders. But I guess it doesn’t matter. As long as he regurgitates regurgitated secondhand made-up stories about rude restaurant customers, it doesn’t matter that he stalked and…

My mum knows them and it is true, they have done so much for local wildlife and are great members of the community.

Lol, uh, no?

Like, half the staff of Jez just got fired for no discernible reason (except for C.A. Pinkham, which, good riddance.) They don’t have great job security.

Um, really? You’d think that drug addicts would be happy as long as they just had social tolerance and access to their drugs? If that’s the case, why in God’s name should anyone frown on drug addiction?

Sadly, I see even grown-ass adults acting like cruel middle-schoolers sometimes. That herd thing. For most, it’s a phase; some never outgrow it.

There was a girl I knew in college who was a little odd but she was nice. I remember one day, I waved and smiled at her but I saw two girls behind her. One of those girls was mimicking her distinctive walk. The girl kind of stomped. Those two girls were laughing at her behind her back. It was so cruel and childish.…

I saw it this morning and I thought they were charming. I could see how the over talking might get exhausting to follow, but collectively I got the sense that they have zero fucks to give, so good for them.

Unusual or offbeat people are always going to catch shit from people who think, for one reason or another, that mocking others makes them look good. If the testimony from the locals is true it sounds like it’s rolling right off their collective back. Keep on saving the birds, ladies, it’s a fine mission, and one that…

i saw that reddit post and watched the video and didn’t find them annoying at all. from what i remember, most people were complaining about them not getting it word-for-word perfect when talking in unison.

I still love him, even if he knows dick about cat dick.

I feel like somehow the Republicans will turn this into another reason to try to keep women from obtaining contraception — OH, YOU WANT THE ISIS PILLS, HUH??

Problem is, a lot of the so-called moderate Muslims aren’t doing enough to stop the radicals. Not to mention, even the moderates seem to hold pretty regressive views (regarding such things like apostasy, homosexuality, gender equality, etc.) and are pretty vehement about holding on to those views. When I see polls…

Right? Nine months of rape vs. forced pregnancy with your abuser’s child is the worst Would-You-Rather ever.

reduce us to their level

I was hearing a BBC interview with an Afghan migrant to Germany who returned to Afghanistan because he wanted to go to school and improve himself but found no way to do that as a refugee. I told my husband that many of us migrants (I am one) are looking for an education (I was extremely lucky to get one). So many…

“education for girls would have been far more of an efficient method of combating terrorism than the drone program”

Knowledge IS POWER. Yet, alas, the hubris-addled warHawks always dismiss and devalue this fact.

There are great statistics on the education of women and better well-being outcomes. All of those scenarios assume a little bit of culturally granted agency. I can’t imagine how education would have helped the these women.

I believe Malala Yusafsai was entirely correct when she told Obama that investing in education for girls would have been far more of an efficient method of combating terrorism than the drone program, or the support of rival fighter groups. Preventative or restorative investments in civil society and infrastructure are…
