This isn’t a new thing. I remember all the shit that Gabby Douglas got at the Olympics, mostly from older black women, for not having perfectly styled hair. Girl is doing a back flip on a piece of wood 4 inches wide and landing on one foot, who gives a fuck what her hair looks like?

You dingus. These videos were designed by the Bad Place. Of course the experience sucks.

As a yoga instructor, props to the YogaWorks teachers for unionizing. This is also something Yoga Alliance has looked into as it falls under advocacy. It’s very difficult to teach yoga full time and be paid adequately to do it, and not many people are paid decently for their time, skills, and expertise. I think…

It’s about time - yoga instructors make horrible money especially compared to the customer base they serve and the price point for classes.

Chace’s The Deep calendar spread is perfect.  That conspicuous bulge is so in character it’s ridiculous.

Things we need government oversight on: People commenting on the internet.

Things we don’t need government oversight on: People purchasing guns specifically designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

Fucking way to fucking go.

In my house growing up, swearing was seen as a healthy way to vent feelings of frustration. Swearing at someone (unless clearly joking) was a no-no. Swearing about the state of things in general was (is) fair game. I can’t think of any more appropriate reason to be swearing right now.

“... only Republican donors got to see them.... there’s no such thing as a free tank.”

This would have been prevented had the baby been allowed to carry her own gun.

Women don’t even need to laugh, they only need to say ‘no.’

I think about the time I posted the Margaret Atwood quote here and got flamed for days from men who thought it of vital importance that I recognize that it is #NotAllMen. They cited examples of all the times they got rejected and didn’t attack anyone (of course they didn’t get rejected very often because they were…

To paraphrase Margaret Atwood for the 1000th time: “Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.”

Let’s not discount the potential effect of this idea. If we get 100% buy-in from all of the empowered pro-choice feminists who happen to be the primary sexual partners of anti-abortion lawmakers, we could be talking about threes or even fours of people.

thank you for bravely standing up for what’s right!!!!!!!!!!

Some people with disabilities, especially those that manifest more physically and are more visible, seem to fear that physican-assisted suicide will lead to a ‘duty to die’ and the involuntary euthanasia. I understand that fear, but I think the current physician-assisted suicide laws are written to avoid that, as well…

She also fought against passing physician-assisted suicide laws.

I take it you’re not a Parks & Recreation fan? It was a pretty funny episode.

The procedure that would be followed would differ by provider and hospital. There’s a case in the documentary ‘After Tiller’ that exemplifies this - a french woman with a healthy 35 wk pregnancy requests an abortion and the provider refuses to do it because it’s not safe. There is a ‘point of no return’ of sorts, but…
