Habitat for Huge Manatees.

I hate to judge, (well, not really) but that seems like an awful system!

I think the “this particular movie is telling a story about a group that fits a very specific demographic” argument is more legitimate than a lot of other arguments. But it gets kind of silly when you think about how adept Hollywood is at shoehorning white people into every fucking movie. When Hollywood wants to tell

And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

Waiter’s friend.

It’s not the quickest, neatest, or coolest. But I just enjoy my HiCoup waiters corkscrew.

Wait, wait, so a country that THROWS WOMEN IN JAIL FOR MISCARRIAGE is now pushing for pregnancy prevention?

Fun fact: Abortion is 100% illegal in El Salvador. Not even for the health of the mother or the baby or in the case of rape and incest.

GOD FUCKING DAMNIT: FORMULA IS NOT RAT POISON!

The effects American slave trade are still felt today. It is, after all, what made America an economic superpower. It wasn’t exactly a picnic for black people when it ended either. It’s still not. Hell, large parts of the south still refuse to even acknowledge the slavery component in the civil war, spinning it as a

I saw on Twitter someone posted (paraphrased), “saying ‘save the rainforests’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘fuck all other forests,’” which I appreciated as an analogy for all this “all lives matter” nonsense.

I will never understand how people seem to think that someone saying "Black lives matter" somehow means "everyone else's life doesn’t" like what kind of mental gymnastics does someone go through to need to shout ALL LIVES MATTER in response?

If MLK was alive today, he would be the face of the TEA Party!

“All lives matter” is the smarmiest, most disingenuous erasure of a movement that malicious and clueless white people could have come up with. To apply this to Dr. King, his work, or his life is almost violent in its untruth. Fuck this parade of assholes in the ear.

And I’m sure there were moments of fleeting happiness in the concentration camps of Germany, the gulags of Siberia, etc. etc.

A slave who smiles at his child or looks happily at a blue sky is a different thing from “the only thing that put a smile on Hercules’ face was when Lady Washington walked into the kitchen” (approximate quote). The book shows slaves taking pleasure in their masters’ happiness as if that was their purpose in life. It’s

Even if – and that’s a big ‘IF’ – you accept the premise that some slaves had relatively okay lives despite the universal denial of their basic humanity, how is it a good idea to discuss such a touchy subject with such young children in such a lighthearted way?
