Disgusting. They won’t do anything about. Republicans are nihilists who don’t give a shit and will cynically destroy the country including the environment, wiping out health care, and decimating women’s, minority’s, and LGBTQ’s rights, while claiming to be the party of Jesus. Meanwhile the Democrats will fret…

Jesus I know! Terrifying. I read it as a very innocent middle schooler and the main lesson learned is never ever use real handcuffs...

This is an excellent point. Sadly I know many men (as well as women) who have been sexually abused and there seems to be an extra layer of shame. Like being sexually vulnerable is emasculating.

I read this book when I was in middle school and holy shit was it terrifying. I had a hard time imagining how they could turn it into a movie as so much takes place inside her head as she is chained to the bed. Sounds interesting although I don’t know if I have the mental fortitude to go there again.

I agree. Unless something directly impacts them, there is no concern. And you are right, Jesus would be horrified by all the terrible things that happen in his name.

It is very frustrating. Like if something directly impacts me, then I deserve it because I am not a mooch like all those other people. Or I suffered so other people should suffer too. I just don’t know how to get through to people like that. To me it seems profoundly selfish and vindictive. Which is why maybe thinking…

Don’t forget personal chef!

I read this article last night and found it illuminating and frustrating. Basically people are willing to act against their own self interest in order to ensure that “moochers” don’t also get health care. It is heartbreaking. The authro endes up trying to frame health care like a utility, like roads or garbage…

This is incorrect. Here is a good breakdown of organic myths, the first one is that they don’t use pesticides: https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/science-sushi/httpblogsscientificamericancomscience-sushi20110718mythbusting-101-organic-farming-conventional-agriculture/

I was thinking the same thing, they both look so orange!

Bingo—they have to realize that the person is toxic and set boundaries. Sadly a lot of people don’t even realize the toxicity of their own families.

Similar. Thank god I am free of that family, so much happier now.

Wow! And I thought the bathroom situation at my work was the best because they have free tampons and pads!

I am so sorry that you went through this. Thank you for this statement and for providing context to why people are annoyed by Kate Hudson’s statement.

I love capes!

I am in Vancouver WA. It is horrifying. I don’t have words. Raining ash, sky a weird twilight. It feels like the end of the world.

These people fill me with such rage. And I agree, they must not give a shit about anything other than themselves.

Meanwhile the whole state of Oregon is literally on fire, and the fires have jumped to Washington state too. It is raining ashes here. And Florida is bracing for a hurricane and Texas is under water. but nope. No climate change. Nothing to see here. We are so fucked.

I too live in PNW, and am guessing the news of their demise may take sometime to get to us. Which works out well because apparently they are back in again hooray.

I’m over it. I want some ridiculous wide legs and I don’t give a fuck about what is in. Side note, I just had a birthday and am feeling my age.
