Because Ursula K. Le Guin, Joanna Russ, Samuel Delany and Octavia E. Butler would be too politically subversive for television, Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Stanisław Lem, Larry Niven and Stephen Baxter would be too scientific and hard science fiction for most people to like and understand, the easier works of…

That sometimes rape isn’t committed by rapists. Sometimes it is committed by your friend from high school that is definitely 100% not a rapist. He just has sex with unconscious women that can’t consent! Get it now?!

Okay but if that self-cleaning kitchen floor thing comes through I want to know about it.

Guy with a Masters in Special Education and 17 years working with children with severe autism here: 1. Fuck you DeNiro, you degenerate piece of garbage. 2. The causes of autism are widely accepted as a mess of disparate factors.....the age of the father, a heightened level of testosterone in the mother, genetics ( a…

Every time a member at my church goes in for surgery or a medical treatment, the first thing we do is pray for the hands of the doctor, nurses and medical staff. Miracles are worked through their hands, denying the miraculousness of modern medicine is ludacris.

So you’re saying you made a well thought out, reasonable decision about your health and your body; the people responsible for it did not judge or subject you to their personal bias; and your supportive partner was there for you and cared for you before, during and after.

Do not fly unmanned vehicles over people.

I like guns a lot, but I am SUPER PRO GUN CONTROL, as in “you must submit to background check including mental health records, complete an extensive class like with driver’s ed, take tests, get a license, keep that license up to date, and the second you’re convicted of any even remotely violent crime, that license is…

The whole thing about Robyn is her parallel with Kilgrave.

People who are attracted to post-pubescent persons are ephebophiles.

So, having children should only be a luxury afforded to the affluent?

As a lesbian, I believe the journey transgender people take is inherently different from mine. But, their justice is my justice. Their freedom, my freedom. And if the journey or burden of any transgender person is made easier by being grouped in or sharing the stage with other members of the LGBQ community, then by…

SO THESE CATS JUST ‘HAPPENED’ TO COME ON STAGE AT THAT MOMENT AT THE BIGGEST ECONOMIC SUMMIT THIS YEAR? I’VE SEEN THAT SAME CAT IN A PICTURE TAKEN OUTSIDE THE PENTAGON JUST 3 WEEKS AGO!!!1!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!1!!

Classy as hell. Not being rude during the speech, not interrupting the speaker, but sure as shit showing him what you feel about him.

Completely understandable product of its time re: woman having to hem-and-haw her desire to stay over because of “society and its bullshit rules.”

Yes. Most nurses now are given a list of talking points when we interact with our patients. It’s a push to improve patient satisfaction and hospitals are spending millions hiring companies to train and facilitate this. One of the problems is that great medical care and achieving high patient satisfaction aren’t…

I’m pretty upset with how Jezebel readers are being so incredibly dismissive and actually shitty about this.
Nursing is a predominantly female occupation and as such has routinely been dismissed as a less than vocation for exactly that reason. We have to fight to be taken seriously ALL the time. I get shitty comments…

“Who knew the nurses of America moved like the mob?”

Actually, that Starbucks manager should have called that guy out, the second time he tried to claim it was his birthday. (As well as allowing him to get a $6.50 item for $3.50 or whatever.) It would have saved the writer endless amounts of bullshit, as I’m sure Mr. Marker wouldn’t have come it at all, were he to have…
