Jesus H. Christ, that image/mural should scare any sane American.

If we don’t use our bodies to stop this we are lost and may as well just give up. Children, specifically, innocent children, are in concentration camps. In our country. What use is civility if this is the end result?

Oh, please.

If I had billions of dollars I would just build affordable housing for all the struggling people in Seattle. It’s a band aid over a bullet hole but at least people have temporary relief from the elements. I would also double NIH or CDC or UNHCR funding or prevent the extinction of elephants.

Former male skater here. I quit because the dudes were so skeevy. Everyone’s body was a subject to be commented on, and every minor detail and instruction had to be overloaded with innuendo. It could have been fun and the bad actors were a statistical minority, but nobody ever did anything about them. There was one…

Then sue him in civil court for emotional damages for the exact amount she had to pay him in royalties?

Fuck Dr. Luke.

I get choked up every time I see a picture of Savita Halappanavar. Her death was so horrific and so fucking pointless. I hope this brings her family some kind of closure. 

Does anyone else feel very emotional about this, even if they’re not Irish? Spent last night reading the #repealthe8th feed and crying. So happy that it looks like the right side won (for once).

The R&B music? I don’t understand why someone would buy a ticket to Black Panther, and then leave after twenty minutes. Whereabouts were you misled, sir?

Who?

.............this is why, though mentally I understand male gynecologists overall are professional and not utter cretins, I like to go to female doctors. And this is also why, whenever I have gone to a male doctor in my excellent HMO, they’ve ALWAYS had a female chaperone in the room during the examination.

Ha. I’ve been married for almost 13 years, and I still have this conversation with myself regularly. I took his name partly because I didn’t have any huge emotional connection to mine, partly because his is easier to spell, and partly because I bought into the sexist myth that marriage was an achievement and I wanted…

What you decide to do is entirely your decision. Changing it doesn’t make you a bad feminist, and not changing it doesn’t make you a bad wife (your identity is a mountain, not a molehill).

Is Sydney collectively woke?

At my previous job there was a guy who took his wife’s name. He said he grew up in a foster family that he never really felt a part of and his wife’s family was always welcoming. I thought it was a sweet, meaningful gesture but boy-oh-boy did he get crap for it from other people. On the other side, my mom kept her…

To Kanye,

I don’t know that much about Azaelia Banks, but she seems fucking exhausting. Is her whole m.o. just ragging on people more talented and more popular than her?

Sure, he stalked her, beat her, and threatened her life as well as the lives around her, but he wrote some stuff that seems kinda cool. So....

DFW intensely loved dogs, and his harassing, stalking and threatening women with violence made him a really fascinating guy and great writer. Got it.
