I woke up one morning and I was “gifted” with MS. My life lost at least five years, and I ended up getting divorced because my ex wasn’t willing to help pick up the slack of what I couldn’t do anymore, declaring bankruptcy, and continually dealing with family court. You know what God’s got? A hardon for fucking with…

For me, it was the aftermath of a suicide bombing that really sealed the deal. Where was god when a 20-year-old bomber entered an open air market, looked around for the busiest stall, walked over to it and detonated his explosive belt? Where was god for the seven civilians who died? In particular, how did god “got…

Hi! Fellow apostate here. To take that further, the faithful will say that your argument presupposes you, a mortal, are capable of understanding the plan of God, the unknowable, infinite, etc. It’s not as simple as that, they say, because God’s plan is too complex and far-reaching for any of us to fully understand.…

I had basically that same conversation with myself ~20 years ago while I was pulling the still-burning bodies out of a crashed 747. Seeing the few surviving children taken to the hospital, knowing they’d live a “blessed” life with 80% of their body covered in burn scars and no parents......

Seeing “god” at his/her/its…

“God’s got this.”

yup, and the limited variety of female genitals they show in mainstream porn (mostly very young women who haven’t had much exposure to adult female sex hormones that mature external genitalia, so their genitals still look underdeveloped and as prepubescent as possible) doesn’t help that phenomenon.

Like, I am in no way surprised by his response. But jesus christ. I guess we see how he handles catastrophic events. We’re all doomed, if possible more so than before.

Ugh, right now is like if 1984 and Brave New World had a baby.

Immigration has a bunch of buses. They couldn’t take two of them and drive these people to Dallas or San Antonio and get Greyhound to exchange the tickets for buses leaving from there?

By Wednesday Trump will be tweeting how the recovery and clean up efforts have been a total success and all the impacted areas have been completely rebuilt. And Hannity will be screaming that the other media that are still showing images of the disaster are just conspiring to destroy Trump by showing a bunch of…

It has unfortunately the effect that many women now mutilate their genitals, particularly their labia, to confirm to men’s stupid ideas of what they want women to look like. They call normal labia “beef curtains”.

Fuck ICE.

I hear you. I also keep waiting for the watered down, choosy-choice, self “empowerment” movement to lose its popularity so that real feminist communities, with political discourse will be easier to find.

Yes, THANK YOU. I loathe being referred to as “cis het,” by the logic of which you’d be referred to as “cis homo”? It’s an ugly hissy word and one the non-trans community didn’t choose. It’s also a misapplied term adopted from chemistry. So let’s just stop with it.

As a gay human being — and I do so hate frequently having to open with that — please allow me to speak for every other gay person on earth to grant everyone alive the freedom to STOP using “cis.” It is, I promise, absolutely OK to have the reader or listener grasp the fact that it’s not offensive at all and does not…

I’d say no, but I’ve never understood why anyone would pay about £5 for Vogue, when it is 200 pages of adverts featuring the super skinny and an article about something "serious" like dogging.

Tbf, the ad was pulled because “he model appeared unhealthily underweight in the image,” so it doesn’t really matter if the model is underweight or suffering from an eating disorder in actuality, the issue is the perception that the ad is promoting unhealthy body standards.

What difference does it make what she thinks? This isn’t about her, this is about how advertising affects women in general. It’s the Advertising Standards Authority, not the Health and Safety Executive or whatever. Note how the decision talks about how the ad makes her appear, not about what she might look like irl or…

which is part of why this whole movement is strange to me because it seems to exclude the people who are arguably most directly affected by this: the models.
