Jesus our Kinja Deals keep getting more and more esoteric.

As a former pizza delivery guy, don’t order delivery during a major snowstorm. The roads often aren’t plowed until the storm has slowed and nobody should risk harm to deliver a $12 pizza.

Extremely true.

Lincoln Chafee (miss u!) is one of the small hobbit children delighted by the fireworks at Bilbo’s birthday party, correct?

Okay, I’m fucking sick of this. The “Democratic Party establishment” is not a thing to be reflexively opposed. The Democratic Party establishment elected Barack Obama. It got Sotamayor and Kagan (KAGAN!) appointed. It promotes marriage equality, abortion rights, racial equality, feminism, and a social safety net.

I wouldn’t know how to live my life without guilt!

THANKS, CATHOLICISM.

It's widespread by definition.

His voice isn’t needed. There are plenty of anti-women candidates already.

Eh, they can do whatever they want. It’s a brie country, after all.

I worked for just a short bit with some trans youth, and they said it was adults who most consistently have trouble with their transition.

Google has a lot more information. The name of the person in question was Ashley Alton Diamond, and you can find more information about her and her experience fairly easily if you search that name. It also has a lot of information about her federal lawsuit against the DOC for unequal treatment and unsafe housing — she…

My daughter is transgender. She’ll be 4 (yes, four) on Wednesday. What has been fascinating to me so far is watching how unconditionally accepting children are of her transition (we made the pronoun and name change this fall) and how the only problems we’ve had are from adults.

If it were an article about how nice trans people are, maybe not. But this is about discrimination within the criminal justice system and beyond. The article explained that she was serving a harsher sentence than her cisgender codefendant and that she was forced to serve that sentence in a men’s prison.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. And rape is a different type of crime.

I hate that we are socialized to say “I don’t wish him harm” when coming out with stories of abuse. If you don’t, great, do you. But women shouldn’t be pressured to prove a “pure” motive for sharing their experiences. You're allowed to wish that the person who raped you get hit by a bus.

I’ve heard that upstate can get pretty hardcore conservative. As a Californian, I can relate. You go fifty miles inland and CA can get as red-state as anywhere in the south.

I too am an upstate NY native, and yeah. People can’t even imagine what the young Republicans up there are like... yeesh

Of course not, they would have to bathe and brush their teeth first.

UBaby. Just like child of “umami.”
