Actually, that’s a proper disclosure.

I believe you mean “dumpster fyre”

“Just in case you haven’t gotten enough of last year’s infamous Fyre Festival”

I know. I feel dirty whenever I do it, but I have to admit there’s a certain edge-of-your-seat exhilaration in having completed a craigslist transaction and not being knifed.

Good on sbux for taking steps to protect their staff and customers, if they follow through. It’s gross and sexual harassment to be subjected to pornography in your workplace. You bet there are people, much like flashers, who get their jollies by knowing others can see/hear the porn, and especially workers (young women…

I had the best fucking health insurance when I had unionized health insurance and it was so affordable. If more people could experience that paradise, they would be more pro union. Unfortunately it was considered a Cadilac plan under the ACA rules and that pretty much killed it. Even if it hadn’t, it was written into…

Our gender reveal was when the baby came out, maybe I shoulda arranged for some explosives and smoke in the Delivery room? lol

What are they supposed to do, just not have a gender reveal party? Or have one but not blow shit up? What kind of libtard gender reveal would that be? This was really the only reasonable choice.

No, I am not against celebrating women (or men) in service industries. I think there is something different about selling your body for the sexual pleasure of others. If sex workers genuinely get fulfillment and have meaningful lives from prostitution: fine. I’m happy for them.  I am just very hesitant about…

I mean, there is a difference between having a opinions and judging another woman’s decisions, and trying to outright stop women from making choices you disagree with.

This is a hard point of view to stick to, since large numbers of professions put a woman at above a .00001% chance they’ll end up harming their baby. I work a relatively highly regarded job that you probably wouldn’t think would put a baby at risk, and the last woman who was pregnant was told she had to stop working a…

most activities have a <.0001% chance it could harm a baby. Lifting boxes. Being in a car. Stepping off a tall kerb. There is a much greater chance of the bay harming a woman though sooooo.

What are women supposed to do, wrap up in lots of squishy duvets and make a nest in a bed?

Once again jezebel, third-wave rag, writes about sex worker by featuring white, well-paid, women. A woman who would have other economic options. Never the women in brothels who are billed for every tampon they use and leave more broken and (literally) broke than when they entered. Or the numerous places where sex work…

There are stigmas related to just about every aspect of pregnancy and motherhood. I don’t care if she’s a sex worker as her regular day job, but yeah I’ll judge the hell out of her for doing it while pregnant if there’s even a <.0001% chance it could harm the baby. I would judge any working mom whose job put the baby…

I have schizophrenia and several other diagnoses. I have also been previously preyed upon and brainwashed by hardcore Christians, of whom I am now many years free.

Here is a thing I wrote yesterday about this very article:

Um, American journalists have been murdered on our soil in the very recent past with the shooting at that newspaper office in the last year (6 months? I can’t remember at the moment). I mean, it feels like it was a long time ago...but it wasn’t.  :/ 

Rep Martha Fudge apparently wrote a recommendation letter for him after he got out of prison, and the language of it is just nauseating:

Domestic abusers...don’t deserve positions of power
