its wild how many people on twitter mad about this also have LIBERTARIAN in their bios

Sarah Jeong is one of the best writers on the internet, and every person complaining about her tweets should have a court appointed guardian because they are too stupid to oversee their own affairs.

Yes! I don’t love the church’s pro-life stance and posturing but I do love the internal consistency of the sanctity of ALL human life, including inmates, refugees, and the poor. The Catholic church was never going to come out and say, ya, we’re cool with abortion y’all, so I’ll take any step that demonstrates to…

Yep came here to say something similar. Conservative Catholics in the US don’t give a fuck what the Pope says unless it’s about abortion or gay marriage.

We are rapidly moving into hyperrealism and Baudrillard’s nightmare predictions concerning the simulacra, where the symbol becomes more desirable than the object it represents. This trend will only accelerate as technology continues to advance, driven in part by this fetishization of the hyperreal - i.e. it’s…

I am also confused by this product since she clearly recommends the opposite in her books.

I enjoy Kondo’s books and I do think tidying up is life-changing, but I don’t understand two things about these boxes:

I know this isn’t the point, but LOTS of things give me more anxiety than ~joy~ but I should not throw them out. My inhalers give me no true joy at all and quite a lot of “is my prescription still valid?” anxiety, for example. Also you can give me all the boxes you like, but unless they come with a maid and some…

How old was Joe Biden when he was elected to national office? 31. What a difference three years makes when you’re a man.

I worked for years at a DV agency in Minneapolis. We saw this all the time. The clients I worked with who experienced SA never wanted to talk to the police in Minneapolis. I once had an older client with some mental health issues who tried to report rape by a neighbor. The officer who spoke with her suggested she may…

Women are forever being told that we shouldn’t drink in various social settings because IT’s jUsT! tOo!! DaNgErOuS!1!!

Don’t beat yourself up and never feel guilty.

Minneapolis here.  There’s a lot of great things about this place, but law enforcement is not one of them.

This is only sort of related, but the new Ant Man movie references Baba Yaga SEVERAL times and I was thrilled!

I will be 50 in three days!

Only 3-7 grey hairs at 35?! I am jealous.

I turned 30 in April, and honestly? Way better than my teens and 20s so far. Gotta say, I’m excited for what cronehood will bring.

I’m 36 now and I can say the thing that surprised me about my 30s is all those little problems with my health that were easy to ignore in my 20s have become Things I Have To Take Care Of and now I feel like I’m at the doctor’s office all the damn time. If I had a cough for a few weeks in my 20s, I’d just suck on some…

*slow clap*
So I’m the oldest of my generation in the family (mid 30s with the my sister and cousins all in their mid 20s). For the past 5 years roughly I’ve warned them of exactly this. I’ve relocated. I’ve purchased a house. I’ve started a family. I’ve bought several cars. I’ve been let go and hired the same day, I…

As a 50-something person, I can say I wish someone had told me this when I was the Millennials’ age. But I listened to my parents, and was dumber and poorer for having done so. I can’t say I’ve made fabulous decisions since I learned to ignore their advice, but I’ve definitely done no worse.
