You are a good person.

It’s worse than that, really. Sorkin can write women well (C.J. Cregg is a goddess). He just chooses not to which is worse, honestly.

Him: “Redheads are either gorgeous or hideous”

He rides a motorcycle in real life?! Come ON, DUDE. There’s a certain level of handsome and sexy one reaches whereafter hopping on a fucking motorcycle (straddling one oh christ have mercy) starts to become obnoxious and cruel.

I mean. Everytime I see Taylor my brain goes straight to Riggins and I become a puddle. I

Can someone explain to me why Taylor Kitsch, of all fucking people, is allowed to ride a motorcylce? As if it isn’t hard enough to cope with the fucker. I clicked through to that article and my brain shorted out for a good 30 seconds. It’s not right.

UK media, maybe?

That gif, and this thread, convinced me to start watcing FNL on netflix. I have never been so immediately and entirely enamoured by a character in all my life (and I have watched a LOT of shows). I’m just enchanted. Everytime he comes on screen I lose it. Like biting my knuckles, hiding my face, rewinding,…

Cait is actually Irish for Kate (pronounced like “caught”). So, some people do!

It’s like that old pick-on-your-brother thing. I can beat the shit out of him, but god help you if you look crooked at him. We live here. We know who’s responsible and who isn’t. So when we criticise, we know what we’re talking about and where to level our remarks. We have skin in this game. Everybody else is just on…

Exaclty. It will be that slow. But as you say, with an adjustment period we’ll get there. My hope is that by the time I have daughters (quite a long way off yet) they and their generation will have the choices and freedoms we currently don’t. That’s why I fight, even though some days it gets to be so demoralising you…

I think we can, too. I really do. I think if we start with the repeal of the 8th and focus on getting rid of that to start with, we’ll manage it. It’ll be slow but with the 8th gone we can work on legislating for limited access. I don’t mean tricking people or creeping it in, but with issues like this you need to…

And all those Iona Institute ads with the mothers talking about how it was the *absolute right thing to do* to deliver the baby full-term even though it would only live for hours/ days (and, in a lot of cases, in pain). Like, you do you, but christ that’s not a decision you should be making for other people. No…

Ugh, the thoughts of it! Let’s get ready to be called baby killing, responsibility shy slappers 12 times a day for months on end. The abortion-as-contraception nonsense will be the red-herring of choice (heh) this time around, I think. And not to mention the weird “what about father’s rights?!1?1” that comes up…

I know where you’re coming from (I really do) but that comes off a touch condescending. We’re trying. Jesus we’re trying. Believe me when I tell you that the vast vast majority of Irish people were/ are horrified by stories like that. Polticians are cowards the world over though and are reluctant to touch the issue.…
