So....the DailyMail. Has anyone ever read the comments on their articles about Harry and Meghan? I think it must be like Fox because most of the commenters are incredibly mean....because of her race, or that she’s an American, or that she’s divorced. It makes me feel better knowing that we’re not the only country

Remember that The Sun is a Murdoch tabloid, and the Daily Mail takes every opportunity they can find to criticise Meghan. The right-wing tabloids love comparing her unfavourably to Kate. So it’s no surprise that they would try and portray some sort of drama going on.

This one’s an upside not a downside.

I honestly have a very difficult time believing there’s tension between the two of them. 

William and Catherine have to live in Kensington because of the job, but no one would want to live there. It’s crowded with other minor royals and staff and fairly open to the public. If I was in Meghan’s position, I would want a more private home with a big garden. I doubt this has anything to do with sibling

I’m not a christian, but I agree with Jesus’ original values of helping the poor and rejected of society. This D-bag could have done more in the name of his religion if he just stayed in the US and volunteered to help the homeless here. Christians have moved away from helping the poor to proselytizing to the poor.

The answer to the problem of recovering his body is simply that they don’t get to do that. Any effort to recover this man’s body will further disturb these people and put them at risk. This man broke the law, and selfishly and stupidly attempted to force his religion on people who do not want it. Sometimes committing

Without evidence to that effect, I can’t blame them. Plenty of serial killers have come from perfectly healthy, lovely families. People have free will. He chose to do this. I feel bad for his friends and family the same way I’d feel bad for any family whose child is killed. That said, I again think his family needs to

Fuck this guy and fuck anyone that wants to retrieve his body. I’ve been fortunate to work with a variety of indigenous communities (in strictly non-religious contexts, and sometimes in direct opposition to the local religious nutjobs) and don’t feel a shred of sympathy for anyone that supported this selfish,

Here is a thing I wrote yesterday about this very article:

Just leave him. You don’t get to act like a paternalistic colonizer and then get your body recovered through even more outside contact with a society that clearly wants none. He can rot.

“I felt some fear but mainly was disappointed,” he admitted. “They didn’t accept me right away.”

I love how SNS is getting earlier every week. Soon it will be Saturday Morning Social. Everyone will report on their breakfast foods.

Craft Thread!

I feel like “don’t chop off pieces of people who can’t consent” is a generally good policy.

How about all religions just shut the fuck up about mutilating the genitals of ALL children? 

As a diehard pie fan and anti-cakeist, I mean no offense when I say this article reads a bit like a highschool paper. It’s cute af but dumb much like the women I chase but eventually can never connect with. Goth culture is such a pitiful misappropriation of catholic gothic style. And with that, I leave you this meme.

Good point, well made. Here’s a proper pie (AKA rat’s coffin):

It’s difficult to adequately articulate how severely dumb the phrase “meat pies are goth” sounds to an Australian.

JFC I wish Jez’s writers took the day off today. I’m stuck in the office trying to stay awake and THIS is the best you’ve got.
