To be honest I find it totally believable a teenage boy was a bit pushy when trying to hit one someone. If what they are all complaining about is true that is a mild and typical case of it (not to excuse him but teenagers are still learning to negotiate boundaries and he’s certainly not accused of assaulting or…

The cheap ones are usually more square and have a cord bisecting the middle (at least around here). OB ones are cylindrical (but shorter and more fan out-y at the bottom (same for sport tampons). 

Gauze wouldn’t look like that either, it has more clearly defined fibres and they don’t disintegrate like that (you wouldn’t want that in a wound). Maybe its some sort of cleaning supply that turned up in there by accident?

He put out a not-great statement (though I think its unfair to compare his to ones from Claire who has an MA and Ivy League education). There is also a horde of people inexplicably mad at Andy (a gay POC) for speaking against publishing a profile of Antoni Porowski (a queer white cis man who is already saturated in…

Chris Evans / Terry Crews aren’t stupid. 

It sounds like he just coincidentally was fired for entirely different misconduct. I guess we won’t know until something happens to the other two.

Sorry for your loss. I know its difficult to be compassionate when groups are hateful but I think it might be very productive. I once saw a video that referred to incel forums as a form of digital self harm.

Ironically she has a video on the topic.

I would like to suggest de-radicalizing her with youtubes bigot whisperer. Former Philosophy grad student, Natalie from Contrapoints.

I don’t think the black student needs to apologize but the white student clearly needs some sort of emotional support if she is crying after hearing that. Her emotional regulation clearly is not up to snuff. Kids who get upset are not dumb crybabies but need to build their resilience and emotional management skills.

Kids these days are so impressive. At her age I would have not been comfortable with the idea that not all women have to shave their armpits. 

There is a difference between something being marketed as a niche fetish than things like choking being normal and unremarkable - like people are surprise choking in the wild because they think its typical and their partners appreciate it.

Bull? Is that like those horse people?

“He also argues that race-based fantasies have an impact on viewers. “The shitty images that we put out impact how my nephew thinks about his sexuality and his worth in the world,””

I suspect the average person regardless of job or formal education (unless a healthcare worker) has very poor medical literacy.

I mean Whoopi “not rape-rape” Goldberg defends a lot she shouldn’t.

...does Tony Perkins really think any LGBT people want to work for him? Has he knocked himself on the head and forgotten he runs the Family Research Council and is probably the only non-relative to employ a Duggar (and the creepy perv one too)?

He was on MTV’s terrible shows before that. Though I am more baffled at the success of Ricky Valez who somehow got on Larry Wilmore’s CC show (like his other costars were way better).

I think the regulated ammo is Sweden? 

Plenty of things that are considered prestigious weren’t considered prestigious when they’re written. Plenty of things that receive critical acclaim don’t stick around. It’s too early to tell what will happen to Harry Potter. Lots of kids books end up as classics. 

Also while I’m not sure if the boxcar children were…
