I really think they need to do a re-evaluation of their choices and do a blog about that.

If I was that Alex Pareene guy, i’d be offering up a years pay to have that response taken down.

My church (a UU congregation in DC) has a small group ministry for federal employees that is explicitly about figuring out what your line in the sand is, and how to keep one’s integrity as a career civil servant under this administration.

With all due respect to you, Rebecca * But fuck Tiffany Trump. She is NOT an ally. She is NOT part of any #resistance Tiffany Trump is interested in Tiffany Trump and could give zero shits over seventeen dead high-school kids. Any one with the last name Trump deserves not one iota of a benefit of doubt.

You’re talking about the “harm” that generalizing does in the context of a conversation about violent misogyny? Get some perspective dude.

While I heartily enjoy literally anyone insulting the racist Keebler elf, I work for the DOJ and this stuff makes the U.S. attorneys working all around the country shit themselves. Unfortunately, I’m not just talking the racist AUSA appointees appointed by Trump/Sessions to help the South rise again. I’m also talking…

Like the Parkland girl who tweeted “We should change the names of AR-15s to ‘Marco Rubio’ because they are so easy to buy.”

Warning to adults everywhere. These kids are really smart and really good at the social media, stop screwing with them.

Yeah, I got mad about the beating again and how everyone just treats it as a joke. It’s maybe not quite as bad as the book, but it’s still there. The rape and torture scenes still bothered me, but again, not as bad as the book. I actually enjoyed the second season more than the first if you get through it. The…

I think the show also improved some of the problematic qualities of the books too (so far). They definitely played down all the racist undertones of Mr. Willoughby’s character (I think I stopped reading around book 4, so not sure where they go from there).

I read the first two books  and Outlander is one of those TV series that I like better than the books, mostly because of the casting is so good that I find the characters more interesting than they are as written.

I think the danger there is that doing so might have some serious consequences for the babby. This was easy because the human body already has the equipment, and just needs the right hormones to make boobs happen. But to avoid boob stuff in a pregnant person, you’d either have to do some serious tampering with…

ugh this is so annoying. so what that it’s only been a year? i’m no amy schumer stan but this argument along with the “oh my god they’re so young” just really irks me.

I was the president of youth group at my church and Song of Solomon is some hotness, especially depending on the translation.

Tamora Pierces tortall books heavily impacted my teen mindscape. wild magic series is what led to my raging Numair teenladyboner.

Oh hell yeah. You know George was a damn good lay. Dude is funny, handsome, friends with prostitutes, king of the underworld, and essentially a dexterity fighter. Good for you Alanna, get it girl.

My immediate reaction to this question was: Alanna and Jon fucking in Tamora Pierce’s Lioness books. Then I felt embarrassed by how PG all of those scenes are (I was 12, ok?), and then I remembered that there was a frequent poster who went by AlannaofTrebond, and thought I wouldn’t mention any of this. But I feel…

I remember reading book 3 in middle school and feeling sick to my stomach when Ozorne accuses Numair of sleeping with her, because I was like, “He’s her teacher you fucking sick bastard!”

Tamora Pierce’s Song of the Lioness. It’s explicitly there, though not explicitly described. Also in the fourth book of her Wild Magic quartet.

I found the sex scenes in The Time Traveler’s Wife very compelling when I was 15 or so.
