1) Where is Kunal?

Yes, there are those who think they are wrong. At least they are consistant in their beliefs.

For the people.

I hate/love statements like these because as they stand on their own they don’t have any effect it’s only an implication and the reader/listener gets to infer what they want.

Typo, too late to change:

“Having an abortion is not playing God. He wanted you to have that baby. He has a plan for that life”

I think she's average pretty, but add on that I think that average pretty is way more beautiful than media and society admits.

“I find it very weird that American films are so full of white people when our cities, our schools, our businesses, don’t look like that.”

Also adding that I’m lucky to have accessible stalls that have the sinks inside at work. There are times I’ve done the wipe and reinsert in public restrooms and it makes it way more awkward.

Echoing all of the wonderful things everyone else is saying about making the switch. It’s definitely made my periods more manageable and less miserable.

Maybe she likes pink...

“I don’t know how really significant this is.”

As a fellow Puerto Rican I share your complicated thoughts, most POC can. It’s depressing how native communities were stripped of their land, their heritage, their autonomy. Then you realize the ones that caused the pain are just as much a part of your story, your makeup. It made me feel dirty, ashamed.

Alcohol tricks the body into thinking it’s warmer than it is. I’m sure you know a few people who have walked outside after a few drinks. No, she’s not totally blameless, but she walked outside unprepared after drinking and no one went looking for her. Those aren’t friends.

Yeah, that was a lot to cover in a short amount of time. It does give us a few ways to open up the conversation and model dialogue. At least it’s a start. Now let's keep it going.

Great book. One of the points is also that our “intuition” is our brains piecing together little bits of information in the background. Gut feelings are your brain telling you the puzzle adds up to something you should be wary of.

There’s also a pay increase and, according to one study from a few years ago, longer life expectancy for those awarded. So they might be bullshit to us but it matters to the actors involved.

“There is a lot of bias involved when you want your preferred celebrities to get recognition.”

Is it gone or are you gone?

Except for the part where the owner of Hobby Lobby uses his PERSONAL RELIGIOUS beliefs to limit the medical benefits employees of his COMPANY can access through the health insurance they also pay for.
