Do you have to time to fall down a rabbit hole? I recommend this article and the linked TED talk. I’ve never looked at serial killers the same and I feel bad.

A Catholic colleague told me she really can’t understand why people are leaving the Church for the actions of men. I said, “The abuse is horrible, but the coverup was much much worse.” I was raised Catholic and there’s times I miss going to to Mass, but I can’t justify giving a penny to an organization that actively…

Why aren’t leggings and yoga pants out?Why not disallow wet hair if bonnets and caps aren’t allowed?  Why not disallow flip flops or exercise clothing?

It should maybe be like church: encourage people to dress well out of respect, but accept everyone as they are and be glad they’re there. I agree with the principal that parents are a child’s first teacher, but damned if you shouldn’t be thrilled they are present and participating, no matter the circumstances of their…

It’s almost as though redlining, disproportionately incarcerating and sentencing POC, limiting the ability for POC to vote and refusing to let inmates vote are all somehow connected. You could almost call WHATEVER IT IS “systematic”.

“Try cranberry juice.” FUCK CRANBERRY JUICE, IT DOESN’T DO ANYTHING.

So Grey Worm’s pretty much fucked right. He’s like every trope walking now with that long “what do you want to do when we survive this godforsaken war” right before they go over the top speech...

Think Jon probably should have sat on that information until after the battle.

I generally just ask people where and what they ate because for me the food is generally the best part of any vacation. Also, for pure relaxation, staying home and doing nothing is the best vacation. I know not everyone can allow themselves to do nothing when they are in their own home, but I am NOT one of those…

“It certainly bothers me,” she told the New York Times magazine in 2018 of her reputation as a liar. “Because one of the few things you have are your integrity and reputation,” she said, adding that “there’s a difference between misspeaking or not knowing something than maliciously lying.”

Gates & Stone. The big news to me is that the investigation spun off FOURTEEN separate investigations, only 2 of which we know about.

So the dude is a sociopath and committed fraud before.  Seems relevant for his court case.

There is something to be said about having something unconditionally love you.

Good question. I have a 9-month old now who we didn’t plan for and holds us back from a doing a lot of things I’d like to, and slices off a good bit of our take-home, but is generally pretty chill and I love him. I was not committed to having kids long term, but my wife was, so now (or then) was as good a time as any…

Dentist here: a) use toothpaste with fluoride b) floss your teeth c) don’t use charcoal, it’s abrasive and leaves dirt under your gums

But then you’d just end up with a Brontësaurus. 

Counterpoint: As this comment section underscores, the great majority of the people who watch nature documentaries are already well versed in the effects of climate change, and as such a series that seems explicitly focused on manipulating those feelings of helplessness and frustration is the equivalent of torturing…

I love the freedom of having a car, but am absolutely happy not to use it except for necessary trips like work, dentist, etc. The other things an enthusiastic yes. We do have a compost collection in my area which is great. If we could afford solar panels and to only get food from the local farms we are lucky enough to…

I’m only two episodes in, and this shit is fucking wrecking me. Fuck people who don’t “believe” in climate change. 

Can I ask a poll question? Biologist here - raise your hand if you would have ALREADY surrendered your car (or left it at home mostly) and done a bunch of other things **if only there were plenty of trains, busses, to and from your house? And other things -solar panels, compost bins, community gardens, you would take…
