This post gave me a tropical contact high.

Librarians are not to be fucked with! They will school you!

I saw that video with Maxine Waters and immediately thought of Shade Court. I am delighted by how much your column has influenced my life.

Goddamn, beets, this is perfect. Thank you.

Literally nobody here is disagreeing with the point that circumcising babies’ penises is problematic at best, since babies are incapable of giving consent. What people are disagreeing with is your insistence that there is no difference between circumcising a penis and “FGM,” a term that includes clitoridectomy, not…

That’s some horribly judgey, unsympathetic BS to say suicide is a selfish act. I’m not talking about this case in particular, which is clearly fucked up, but you just made a blanket statement about people who are ill and in so much pain that they don’t see another way out.

For those who this kind of news overwhelming, may I recommend the soft pleasure of the series “Escape to the Country” on Netflix? It’s like Househunters, but with very polite English people looking…

Because as a country we looked at what happened at Sandy Hook and decided we were ok with it.

LA local here. Watching local news live. (Weird that no car chase involved.)Latest reports say domestic violence incident.

Right? And “I didn’t want to be a zoophile. I was trying to do everything I could to avoid this animal”? How hard could it possibly be to avoid a fucking dolphin?! Just because an animal humps your leg does not mean it’s cool for you, a human, to have sex with it. That’s not how it works.

she was intellectually pretty much my equal.
