Since SorryMissTwerk;P decided to hide my reply, I’m just going to copy and paste it as a new comment here, because I think it’s important to say something when someone comes along clutching their pearls and braying about how IT’S NOT HEALTHY as though they were just a nice person concerned about what’s healthy for…

Several studies have found at least 40% of police officers are domestic abusers, themselves.

It takes a minute to stop and think about what another human being is going through without injecting ones own life experience into the equation (“how could anyone be so stupid!? I would never-!”). And it takes further thought (and perhaps some healthcare experience) to consider that this woman’s life could actually…

You know who does have a legal case? Gorilla Glue against Gorilla Snot.

It’s a common misconception that the McDonald’s coffee lawsuit was frivolous.  I read an article a few years back that gave details I had never heard.  That woman absolutely had a reason to sue.  Seriously - read up on it someday.  It completely changed my perception of the case.

Churches claim moral superiority.

I totally agree with you that we need to help all organizations find, educate or discipline, or fire toxic power hungry abusers. I also think that the reason why churches get called out on it is because they profess to follow a brown skinned, poor, radically (for his time) inclusive person, and yet the church protects…

Not all Christian denominations are the same, not all churches are the same, yes. But 80% of self-identified white evangelical Christians voted Trump and continue to support those same racist, misogynistic ideals. There’s a rot in modern Christianity that goes deep and much like folks who support defunding the police…

I remember Rinni from ‘Days of our Lives’ - when the character first appeared I wondered about her rubbery looking lips. I didn’t know anything about fillers back then, no one I knew had any kind of botox etc going on (the occasional nose job was it). When Jennifer Garner first started on Felicity she also had some…

Sure? I guess I just can’t tell what the problem with this piece actually is from the info in the article. Is it that it’s using missing women as entertainment? Is it that it’s using missing women as entertainment but that they should be using missing NA women? Is it that NA characters were removed from the work? Is…

Yeah, at least Wind River can say it raised awareness of an important issue (one that, as a white person from Pennsylvania, I honestly didn’t know about), albeit one where the primary protagonists searching for the missing Native woman are a white man & a white woman.

I went to see Wind River a few years back because of its good reviews. I left feeling deeply repulsed by its use of the victimization and suffering of Native Americans to feed the story arc for its white characters. Even my white Boomer aunt who went with me found it offputting.

This. My partner and I briefly considered doing a city hall wedding followed by a very small (<15), outdoor gathering with local friends to take advantage of cheap rates right now. Along with soliciting quotes and dates and the normal planning activities we took an afternoon to map out potential issues and places…

I mean, how many times have we seen bridezillas melt down about how it’s THEEEEEIR DAAAAAAY and everyone has to do what they want? It’s, like, the one day of your life where you have the most control over social proceedings. (Maybe childbirth beats a wedding, but not always.) Use that to your advantage to make sure…

“hey remember when you got married and killed off half the family with Covid cause you were selfish?  yeah I remember.”

Exactly! It’s your wedding, the day that you are going to (hopefully) celebrate every year for decades. Do you really want that day to also be remembered as the day we killed grandma/auntie/friend/co-worker?

Mikayla claimed that when she was walking down the aisle she realized that not a single person was actually wearing one, and thought, “I’m walking down the aisle. We can’t do anything now.”

“You’re in the moment.”, they said. One that took several months to plan and organize, I assume. Months that could have been used to, I dunno, fucking think.  

She had a great record on women but not POC. She voted in support of building pipelines through Appalachian territory, and echoed right wing sentiments that Colin Kaepernick’s protests of violence against the black community were disrespectful and equated it to burning the flag. So yah, complicated. It’s also not hard…

O Captain, my Captain!
