Yep, they should ban periods now! (I wouldn’t be surprised if some Republican asshole said something similar to that, honestly. It’s sad, really.)

You don’t ovulate fertilized eggs.

Have you ever heard “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?” You know what that means? It means that no one is beautiful to everyone and everyone is beautiful to someone. I don’t care how hot you think you are, someone out there thinks you’re ugly. I don’t care how ugly you think you are, someone out there thinks…

How do you know she’s morbidly obese? Do you know her BMI?

Also, we shouldn’t be stigmatizing people with addictions. We should be trying to help them permanently kick those addictions.

You should probably go learn something about the history of the BMI and how the definiton of “obese” has changed over the years with no scientific reason. Then go learn about how people can be fat and very healthy and you can’t tell if they are healthy or not just by looking at them (not even just by knowing their…

“Axe” used in this way is part of AAVE and is, therefore, not incorrect. 

Except, the a is in there already. Another is an other. If you put a word before the other, then the a or an would depend on the word between and no n would be needed in front of other because the n goes with the a. 

Oh, I just found out today that it’s not even 6 weeks. It’s “from the moment of fertilization.” Which, I don’t know why they don’t just say, “abortion is illegal now.” Why do they need to add “from the moment of fertilization?” Just to be dicks, I guess.

I am starting a job Monday working for a company that does employment checks for other companies and one of the things they do is verify education. So, yeah, people probably shouldn’t lie about that, especially when applying to a company large enough to be able to hire a company like mine.

How, exactly, do you get people to turn against this kind of thing without making them care?

Oh, they are. They have fought him before and won. They aren’t afraid of him and they know the power they have now.

Here’s the thing, though. The tribes--especially the Cherokee Nation, which is one of the largest (if not the largest) tribes and definitely the richest--aren’t little kids anymore. Especially not in Oklahoma. Quite some time ago, the state made gambling on NA land legal, so casinos have popped up everywhere…

I’m an Oklahoman. Stitt has been antogonizing the tribes--especially the Cherokee Nation, the richest tribe--since he took office. Funnily enough, he is a member of the Cherokee Nation. He doesn’t at all act like it, though. He acts like he just rode in here from Europe and is handing out blankets. Personally, I think…

I have an associates in CJ and I will say that my BS in Organizational Leadership taught me a lot more I could have used as a cop than the CJ degree did. Oh, that was a very interesting degree to get and I did learn things that would have helped me (although, I suspect I would have been taught much of that in the…

The cops I dispatched for had to have a 4 year degree (an actual degree, not just 4 years of college courses) to just be hired. They had a 7 month police academy with 16 months of field training. You might have heard of one of them, Betty Shelby, who shot an unarmed man named Terrence Crutcher. I mean, that’s by far…

As someone who has worked closely with police in the past and has been trained with many of them, I say BULLSHIT.

Consequences don’t have to be prison or fines. They can be a lot of things. I’m pretty sure everyone here has lost a job or lost some privileges in school or work for doing something that was not illegal but was inappropriate. No matter where you work or how you got the job, calling your coworkers pedophiles is…

The person who wrote this is black. They are happy to see someone who looks like them on the cover of a magazine that normally only has thin white women on it. People who look nothing like them. 

See, I don’t need to know what the final stories are going to be, but I would like more of a connectedness. It doesn’t have to be teasing the ending, just connect them together in some way. Everything feels all disjointed and like a bunch of separate movies, rather than a universe, right now. And that may be how the…
