Ah bless! I had forgotten about her cousin’s friend’s testicles in Trinidad..  What a glorious time that was to be alive.

The funniest part to me is that the only truly plausible barb Megan has in Hiss that’s directed at Nicki is the “Megan’s Law” one, so all Nicki’s outrage just orbits the fact that she’s married to a sexual predator. Meanwhile, Hiss shows how effortless Megan makes this stuff look... and Nicki’s bizarre fuckin’ foot…

Nicki continues to reach for new lows.  Also, rhyming foot with foot, girl?  C’mon.

Let’s take stock of the depth of the records the author could have had into the Osage people’s experiences. They were massacred. Their oral and narrative stories destroyed along with them. Western linguistics don’t handle oral traditions well given the west is more written language driven. What is left of the oral…

Which was also written by a White man. As Zora Neale Hurston once said, “If you are silent about your pain, they’ll kill you and say you enjoyed it.” Too often, people with power have control of the narratives of oppressed peoples.

“King, nor Dolly have publicly commented on the concert but the latter is a woman known for her tolerance, so, I’m sure she gets it.”

Children in Gaza and Israel, “Am I ever going to find my mom?”

Adults in Gaza and Israel, “Shut up. We’re waiting to hear what Courtney Cox has to say”

Unfortunately, this type of rhetoric works and far too many benefit from either the cover and virtue it grants or from the “engagement” the outrage drives. There are simply too many vested interests.

She has not said anything that leading Israeli voices aren’t saying themselves. Public discourse needs to move beyond the immaturity of “If you say you like waffles, you must also be saying you hate pancakes”. Pointing out the inhuman conditions of Palestine is not the same as erasing the horrors Israel faced during…

She’s not wrong though.

God bless you for being a caring, present and realistic parent, and for recognizing how much more is expected of the mother of a child. I think that people who truly want to become parents should be supported and encouraged. But you’re right, this country only talks a good game about celebrating parents.

It’d be one thing to socialize people to have kids in a society that actually gave a darn about kids and prioritized making it easier for people to raise them well.

When I was a kid, I did expect that I would have kids, but that was entirely modeling the world I saw around me. It wasn’t until I got older and was able to think about what I actually wanted (partly because I realized I could think about what I wanted around that age) that I was like, you know, I don’t want that.

I understand women get FAR more pressure to be married, breed, be pillars of the community. I hope it is not lost on people that Men also get some of that pressure as well. A few weeks ago a Cis Gen Jewish Female Hetero & pro LGBTQIA-Z coworker of mine read me the riot act that my partner and I would rather be…

Child free aunts and uncles are awesome. They perform key roles in child rearing. Especially aunts. They tend to invest in their nieces and nephews by taking care of some of the nurturing, developmental, fun/play and financial aspects of raising a child. Helping parents to focus on the essentials, like keeping the…

I’ve always known I didn’t have kids and I feel the same way you did. I’m actually good with kids and I could have done it, if I’d had to, but it’s not what I would choose for myself.

I’ve never wanted children. I knew that when I was a kid, myself. It always seemed like such a lot of work. It’s hard enough getting my sh*t together to get out the door and to work on time, if I had to make sure another person or two also had their sh*t together , I’d lose my damn mind.

I realized how I didn’t want kids in college, and while I had a couple times I questioned it (always for the sake of a relationship - dumb me), I’ve become more and more secure in the belief that I made the right choice. Like Clarkson, I have some nieces I adore, and I am so grateful I get to be their aunt, but hell…

It’s easier for men (which I am) and I enjoy being 49 and single and living a fun life. I still get it from my married friends and their wives “you never wanted kids or to be married” 1. Fuck no, 2. Meh I met someone along time ago and it didn’t work out and now I know it was for the best.

We need a lot more people with her great attitude.
