Labrys is perfect. From Wikipedia: "The labrys is also used to represent lesbianism and feminism,^[24] and female or matriarchal power."

It was just weird, too... Both of us would have been OK with it, but he lied anyway. Yep, big douche canoe.

The lie of omission is just as bad as an outright lie in this case. This guy is probably not trustworthy at all.

Seriously? I can't believe these people were raised by a lawyer.

Thank you for the voice of reason.

We are preparing to foster and this is very interesting. We've been talking with friends who are foster parents and one of them is black. I'm in Ohio, in a city very much like Indianapolis, and I have been surprised that our friends are fostering two white kids, one placed in their home a year before the second one. I…

Very cute! And hah! My mom was just talking about interspecies marriage earlier today, just after listening to conservative talk radio. I wouldn't mind hanging out with some piglet-kittens.

Nah, but that's just me. Maybe someone else would need a trigger warning, though... I love the project and I can usually deal with reality. This is an important part of most womens' lives.

Yes. Thank you. So far I've given birth to more embryos than I know, but no baby. Still processing my feelings about this.

On the other hand, if men see Asian women as superior, that means that white women are inferior or not good enough in some way.

Ah, snobbery.

That happens with my Appalachian family members. Several generations of eating berries and squirrel (including my own grandmother, who is almost 80), mean that they are going to stuff you with as much food as they can. They don't respond to "No, thank you" either.

That is all.

Eh, I still don't like it. But the OUTRAGE!!! bothers me when people don't realize how much gentrification in Cincinnati ≠ gentrification in NY or the Bay Area. It does make an impact; if we are talking about OTR, many residents ended up moving to Lincoln Heights and Roselawn (I was on a nonprofit board there when…

PS— I should mention that from your comment, I wasn't sure if you were from here or knew how much downtown has changed in the past several years. At this point I assume you do have some context.

I'm in my 30s and have held a job downtown most of my working life, so I have spent a lot of time downtown since the mid-90s. The transformation has been truly amazing. I thought 3CDC was a giant waste of public funds but at this point I'm not sure that all of the rehab work would have happened without it. I'm not…

Thanks so much for clearing that up. When people were talking about it moving to a rough neighborhood across the highway, I couldn't really figure out what they were talking about. That part of Mt. Auburn still isn't on the other side of a highway from downtown. Not sure if I'd consider it rough but several people…

Sometimes a person has an overbearing mother who won't take no for an answer... My sister couldn't stand up to my mom until things went on for way too long. Interestingly, for her first birth my mom was in the room and my sister was barely progressing in her labor for 15 hours or so. Once she kicked her out she was…

Ha! I thought that too.

"than to see sprawl suck up investment."Waaay to late. Just to give you an idea, The Cincinnatyi/Dayton metro area is now the largest in the state, despite the fact that Cleveland and Columbus are more populous. I love that it means we have things like Ikea and an REI store, but this city is super sprawly.
