I sort of get it. I hate harsh lighting—not just because of how it makes people look (bad, always bad), but because it is too much sensory stimulation. Sunshine is one thing—you’re outside, your eyes are expecting it—but inside at night, I’m always turning off bright overhead lights and switching on side lamps. Who…
He's not even the sexiest batman! That title belongs to Keaton!
I expected this thread to be populated by this:
It’s one of the many reasons my gay partner refuses to attend these events - they send someone else to them, even though my partner is Artistic Director, because he won’t network and smile when this kind of bullshit is happening.

“We hired women! ‘kay. You asked for us to hire women, and we did! Ladies are too emotional. They don’t know what they want!”
I know men who would have been uncomfortable at this event too, honestly.

The whales deserve better, and if you really want your children to learn about orcas, the kids deserve better too.
Oh, those people are so full of it. WAH, WAH, we don’t have our prisoners to gawk at anymore. STFU, ignoramuses.
We are thinking of the children, we are teaching them to respect other creatures.
I was telling my husband that I want to counter protest at a PP next year when I’m planning to take a break from work for a few months. My idea is to dress like a nun and talk to the protesters some times and tell them that God needs them protesting the governor for not expanding Medicaid or for the lack of child care…
This sounds really interesting. Sounds pretty similar to a lot of my friends’ experiences with deciding to get abortions (I’ve never had one)
Only the blacks had it worse than the Irish. This is well-documented history.
Not in the same sense... but historically treated like shyte as a conquered people. The English had a bit to do with that.
“Launching” a church? Call me old fashioned, but I want my churches built with stone and mortar, with dark and chilly interiors haunted with the memories of thousands of years of every flavor of unscrupulousness.
