I guess it depends on the friends but tbh ESPECIALLY among close friends I would much rather have a personal gift than a kitchenaid. Not a wedding, but for my partner’s birthday I wrote a fairytale (long story, there was a pun on their last name) in a really nice hardcover sketchbook, and I “illustrated” it with…

ughghghg the fact that there is even a “their own neighborhoods” to speak of is fucking evidence of the systemic racism that corrals black people into poor and blighted areas so it’s easier to know which neighborhoods to ignore when infrastructure updates/educational support/basic need time comes around.

ahghghahaghghg THIS can we just get it tattooed on Bill O’Reilley’s face or something? Then it would reach the audience that needs to hear it.

Oh man that mask analogy, I just brought it up elsewhere and saw this afterwards. I agree!

Wait, though.

uhhh babygay, babyqueer, babymo == totally acceptable, loving term describing that period of coming out when you wear all rainbows and everything about your life is gay gay gay.

gaaaah my partner is NB/trans and people being the fucking worst when you’re like “mm actually this is disrespectful” is terrible. Like, it gets to me and I’m the fucking cis partner in this equation, I can’t imagine.

Yes! I don’t know, I like to think that I watched that show and felt a lot of empathy for most of the cast, and not to criticize a whole bunch of 16-year-olds for how they parented, as they were all in pretty terrible situations re: finances or relationships or having to deal with god-awful people or giving up their…

Oh my God I had no idea that they were doing this...

Rodriguez, not Rodriguz

Oh totally. And there I feel so many empathy feels. People in the U.S. can’t handle names that aren’t Joe or Sally and last names that aren’t like, Thompson.

Okay, so, the thing that bothers me about this is how it still really boils down to making everything the same and of the same value.

Oh man you got them there. Now all of OP’s claims are completely invalid because Spanish and Russian are somehow exactly the same.

YES.

Well ok not to be too pedantic, but herpes transmission is more about skin-to-skin contact, and can go both ways. Yes, you can get sores on your mouth from going down on someone, but someone can also get sores on their genitals if you go down on them with a cold sore. (HSV-1 is most generally oral herpes and HSV-2 is…

You definitely can contact a lot of stuff from oral sex, but this kid is highly unlikely to contract any of them. Swallowing a full load is not super high risk, much less licking a condom

Okay PSA, though. It is highly unlikely that this kid will suffer any health consequences (at least in the form of sexually transmitted infections)

omggggg Starting Over was my jam

Totally. It’s not you specifically, it’s that I see white University of Chicago undergrads thinking that they’re legal experts and attempting (and failing) to logic away every one of these deaths and I’m so over “weeeeell this isn’t further evidence of racism because it was just the prosecution/he shouldn’t have…
