As a practicing Pagan, I can confirm that this is the history. And even though currently Paganism is dominated by women, certain branches like Asatru (Scandinavian/Viking-Pagan reconstructionists who generally don’t use magic) are being dominated by men (and have an issue with white supremacists trying to take over…

And actually, Christians fuck up what Jesus said about forgiveness all. the. time. I’m Pagan, but I found a website by a Christian female pastor who counsels abuse victims into NOT forgiving their abusers until their abusers prove that they have honestly repented.

I never watch it. If our state’s team makes it, I’m like, “Yay home team! Catch the ball more than not-home team! Score all the points, or none, depending on which scenario helps you win!”

Or an African American artist accepts the gig, puts on a half-assed performance, and says that they aren’t there to participate in the NFL’s minstrel show.  That would be amazing, a nice FUCK YOU while collecting a check.

LOL, Riri is not gonna be hurt by this.  The Venn diagram of people who are NFL fans and Rihanna fans is a practically non-existent overlap.  She’s not after the redneck market.

Do you know how hard giving birth is on a body? I’ve almost died from three of my 5 pregnancies. I don’t blame any woman who doesn’t want to go through that.

I see them occasionally, and encourage them in college and their jobs.  I don’t ask for more than they are ready to give.  They did some truly bad stuff to their autistic older brother, and standing by him is what caused the rift between us, which was encouraged by their evil father.  I’ve apologized for my part in…

I have 4 total. The 2 middle ones, although I love them, are assholes. Our relationship is strained because of their decisions. I have tried apologizing for my part in the strain, and tried to make amends, but they are too much like their abusive dad and his family. At this point, biology is the only thing keeping us…

I’m in Western Mass, though not in the Berkshires. While it’s true that the Berkshires are more conservative than the rest of Mass, the Berkshires are still so much more progressive than the rest of the country. This article makes it seem like folks in the Berkshires are against protecting this law, when really it has…

That’s why I wrote this. Too many moms feel guilt about not thinking their kids are so wonderful that they shoot rainbow glitter unicorn farts.

I hated being a mom to babies and toddlers. I breastfed each of my kids to a year and a few months, then I was done. When you are pregnant/breastfeeding, your body is not your own anymore, and it made me very annoyed to have put what I wanted to do with my body on hold until the kids were ready to not be so close to…

He just looks like an ordinary, bland guy, with maybe a military background.  I never found that “God, country, guns” type interesting.

If you look at the negative, it looks like the sarcophagus-looking thing at the end of The Guardians of the Galaxy 2, where the gold lady said, “I’ll call him Adam.”  I think that this is going to be the cocoon that Adam Warlock pops out of, since in the Infinity Wars comic Adam plays a huge role.

That part about a fluffy white cat got me. My friend lives in an apartment that he says is haunted. I saw a white cat move around a corner, rubbing on his table, then turn around and go to the other room.

I love this time of year! Long time reader, first time submitter!

Lol, that's ok.  I just figured you were a Slytherin, and was cool with it.

No.  You've got more people on here saying you two have a bad take on this.  You're the oddballs here.

Look At Me is still the scariest to me.  Like, that is my go-to scary story to tell when I mention this feature to other folks.

Sorry, this was meant for a victim-blaming asshole in the greys.

Yes, I suppose 6 year olds who get molested really should have been raised to be stronger and not put themselves in those situations.
