I hear through a friend who works for GS that the Boy Scouts [in the US, only, and at the national level] have a 5-year-plan that includes siphoning off GS’s membership. I don’t like the sounds of that and want to make sure that spaces for girls - bio- or otherwise, since GS is inclusive - still exist.

This is akin to complaining that gay pride leaves out straight people.

Well for starters this author is hardcore writing about the Canadian context, and speaking in that context let’s consider:

Chaya! 1: I value your presence here and on the NYC Queer Exchange pages on facebook.
2: So many of the clothing retailers advertised on this site are progressive in some ways [made in the us with well-paid labor, made of organic/sustainable materials etc] but do not offer anything that even approaches plus size

A - Top Gun is just a long music video about America with a sketchy interpretation of the geography of San Diego.

Ugh it was such a lie though. You couldn’t get the blue one to be that opaque. It’s like the only lipstick I’ve ever bought (#butch) and it disappointed me so....

Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

That “wool” houndstooth jacket is actually 100% polyester. Unsurprising, given the price.

Hey can you mention, link to or quote the advocacy group Stella, who are quoted in the linked piece? It’s by-and-for sex workers in Montreal and I think it’s important that the voices of sexworkers _actually_ be heard.

I’m willing to bet this guy did it to seem funny to and curry favor with _other men._ The fact that it was at a woman’s expense didn’t enter his mind at the time, because using women’s bodies has always been a great way to impress the lads.

have you tried hydrogen peroxide?

They are always so dry and overcooked. :( Such a bait and switch.

... does anyone know what the protesters were saying? Twitter’s giving me nothing, here.

I hope, when the end of this administration finally comes, these people are tried for crimes against humanity.

I eat salad with chopsticks also and people are always shocked.... but it’s like. Have you tried to stab lettuce with a fork before? Impossible.

Once, on a bus between Montreal and Ottawa, a creepy dude _would not stop_ talking to me sexually. I was about 22, wearing a low-cut top, and terrified. I was doing what the culture had raised me to do, and politely asking him to stop, but not really able to do much else. Someone in a seat behind me offered to switch

It’s called Burnt Money (Plata Quemada).

I don’t read that as a good thing. I read that as Collins, who might otherwise have voted against him, justifying the position she is going to take when she votes him in. I don’t think it will take much for him to reconsider that “settled law” stance that he currently “holds.”

Which disciplines’ granting agencies is that true for? This has not been my experience. Many academic presses no longer go after authors for putting preprints on their own websites, but I’m not specifically aware of freedom to access being a clause in most granting agencies’ requirements.
