Sexism is not a wrong perpetuated by men. It’s an institutional force that affects all of us. The fact that motherhood results in lower pay for women is sexism at work, as it reflects a system that values certain kinds of work over others, and accommodates people who have fewer family responsibilities (men) while…

Yes, but child rearing is part of the economic problem- this is a societally-necessary task that overwhelmingly affects women more than men, and women are not compensated for performing this work. This is why some countries have started to pay people to have children and stay home with them- women are reluctant to…

I’m a terrible preggo, didn’t even know feta was supposedly off-limits and I eat it fairly frequently. I also eat the occasional hot dog, tuna, sushi, and deli meat, drink a cup of coffee daily and a quarter glass of wine once or twice a week. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I bought my son a wheel of mild cheddar. It arrived the 22nd. The container is now sitting sadly on the counter. He consumed over 5 pounds of cheese! What is cracking me up is he is probably going to order another wheel of cheese.

Are you staying that people might not watch a 25 minute show where a good 10 minutes is spent on hand washing and kitchen cleaning?

So, how is Trump not being investigated for treason? This really looks a lot like a conspiracy between billionaires to give control of America’s resources and political offices to a hostile foreign government.

Interesting takeaway from this election cycle: Turns out that the GOP, the party that routinely wraps itself in the American flag and the Constitution, not really all that interested in democracy.

Progressives HAVE been vocal about the Obama deportation policy. But he’s also done a lot of good in the immigration arena, from DACA to the STEM OPT expansion to the enforcement priorities memos for ICE. So we can demonize him for the deportations alone, or we can admit that (like many other issues) it’s fucking…

+1 ghoul for you

Oh my god, this.

It can be, but it’s also overused and sometimes completely unnecessary to the overall narrative of the story being told. The same way that the plot device of a man losing a woman love interest to death or capture is.

there was a time when I enjoyed Dirt Bag for what it was. Popcorn. Salty buttery popcorn I could eat without worrying out the rest of the world. Just a little moment of silliness and goffyness in the world of the rich and famous, where one could chill and forget the cares of the world. But now, I find I can’t do that…

Newsflash; people who can’t tell they’ve been conned surprised when it turns out they’ve been conned.

A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,…

What can be done to combat this kind of thinking? I have immediate family members that just flatly refuse to grapple with facts-- when they’re confronted with them, they just say, “I don’t believe that”. It feels like democracy hangs on us figuring out a way to bring these people back into the realm of reality, but I…

He just hopes that we can all be as free as Russians are today.

He drove 12 hrs to get to work and then started his shift. This is repeatedly left out of the conversation for some reason.

I think what’s going on with them is that they are evil and don’t treat their employees like human beings.

So, I actually feel bad for the truck driver as well. What he did was horrible, but he’s working poor and to keep his job he had to drive those ridiculous hours. If he can be charged with murder, why not the Wal-Mart executives who make their drivers drive 24 hours without sleep?
