Once again, my first thought...

I ... I think I’d rather watch videos of ear wax removal than watch this. 

I second everything you said. I’d LOVE a show that exposes these frauds!

Ugh. I feel so many mixed feelings about this. Netflix 100% duped these people and they should be held accountable for that. But I also believe that many of these people have been duped by “medical professionals” who hock them alternative diagnoses and therapies for the symptoms they experience. I think a sincere…

As a vagina owner I have the same questions. I suspect that the answers are 1. It hurt but she ignored the pain as women sometimes do, 2. Yes, and 3. Don’t think this is a real thing.

I teach a unit on Media Literacy to my high schoolers and one type of fake news is actually poorly done “satire” sites. Major sites like the Onion are considered satire due to their higher quality and longevity. There are a LOT of small websites that claim to be satire but the content is simply not clever or good…

I so regularly see people un-ironically sharing BB stories in Twitter replies that I had no idea it was a satire site. I wonder what percentage of its readers don’t realize that fact. This is the same group that (repeatedly) fell for the Onion’s “Abortion-Plex” story. 

I routinely mistake Babylon Bee headlines for Daily Caller and Steven Crowder (among others). headlines. The problem is that so-called legitimate political positions on the right are often so wacky that there’s not much room left to create humor by making statements so “extreme” that reasonable people would assume…

“Conservative comedy” has always been an oxymoron. See: Dennis Miller, Jesse Watters.

Right wing people live in a dark fantasy world.

If by “policing jokes” you mean regulating hate speech - I’m good with that

So several years ago I wrote a substantial MCU fanfic about Loki and an original character. The summary is as follows: “Loki is sent back to Midgard until he can understand how the actions of one man can have consequences that ripple beyond his intentions. He meets Grace, a single mother of a nearly-year old child…

Don’t go on THIS trip. Express your concerns, but make it about you being uncomfortable with the idea. Tell them that you love the idea, but you’re just not ready, and that maybe they could plan a future trip, which would be shorter & closer to home, around your concerns. 

This this this!!! What really tipped it for me is the idea of her knowing who her parents are, knowing that we’re the safe and stable presence in her life, and her calling out for us for DAYS, not being able to understand we’ll be back. That just broke me.

Oh my, that is a lovely pomegranite. I am jealous and pomegranites are among my favourite fruits. I couldn’t grow one if I tried (a)Canada isn’t conducive, and b)I am a terrible gardener. I am excited by the fact that for the first time ever I seem to be semi-successfully growing cabbages.  A three-year-old in the…

How’s everyone’s garden doing? It’s been four years, but look! We finally have a tiny pomegranate on our tree!

Pumpkin you are living the bloody dream. Pink hair, excellent cat, delightful, family-free holiday plans...all of it just fantastic!

He’s not a racist, he just hits all of the racist stereotypes and says race-braindead things and does racist accents.

Nuke it from orbit.
