A week after Dobbs, my (white, male, cis, straight) IT guy asked me something and I wasn’t listening b/c I was reading about the J6 hearings. He said he doesn’t pay attention that stuff. I said, you don’t pay attention to politics? He said no, because it doesn’t really affect him and he likes to be able to sleep at…

The article’s lead photo ... where was this taken? I can’t figure it out

Dafuq is that image choice.

You shouldn’t be able to run a for-profit business of any type, except for a sole proprietorship (meaning there is no legal distinction between you and the business) and claim a religious exemption from generally applicable employer requirements, period. A for-profit legal entity of any type cannot have “religious…

There is nothing in the Koran suggesting gay people should be killed.  Homophobia among Muslims is the same as homophobia among Christians.  It’s just straight-up homophobia wrapped in a bogus religious justification.

If your religion doesn’t want you to stop AIDS, it’s possible your religion may not be contributing positive moral value to your life.

You can’t explain how scary it is to be a woman walking alone at night unless you’ve been a woman walking alone at night, and there’s a particular kind of terror involved as a woman being attacked by a man or group of men. A guy gets jumped by a guy in an alley, his first concern is the other guy is going to steal his…

My only issue with the show so far is that 30 minute run times are feeling too short. Just when I’m getting settled in, it’s over! Come back, She-Hulk!

This narrative of Trump being the cause rather than just one more symptom drives me nuts.

Anyone who thinks that the Republican party got significantly more extreme only under Trump is either deliberately blind or an idiot.

My new favourite weekly game while watching this show is “How will this upset the Online Men?”

Probably shouldn’t be bothering with this on Jez and should keep these convos within my own community, but I guess a couple things:

* People continue to misunderstand how gender diverse children are treated; their cherry-picked examples of near insta “surgery” are not remotely the norm. Most importantly, what I want to…

However, as educators it is our goal to teach students to think critically, not to tell them what to think.

You cannot get rid of glitter. Not ever. And certainly not in a day

I really enjoyed this episode and most of the season. I think I like the atmosphere of the show and relationships between the main 3 characters enough to overcome any plot shortcomings because some negative points others are making seem very trivial to me. For example, I don’t really care what happened to Amy…

This one has been driving me crazy in the recaps all season long: At absolutely no point in time did anything in the show say that the phone number they were texted from belonged to Det Williams.

Also, she wasn’t using Det Williams’ phone. The trio just *assumed* it was Det Williams (as in who else would be helping them?)

I don’t think he did. He was lying (if you can call it that) in that he initially said he left show business to become a doorman because he wanted to (rather than out of need after a period of substance abuse), but I don’t think it was implied he was lying about attending Julliard and acting professionally for a time.

He only made up “really wanted to be a doorman”, I think.  I think?
