Having money issues is not an excuse to promote predatory grifters.

It is definitely on my wish list! I’m pretty much stuck using whatever they happen to have at the foodbank, though. But good to know it works as advertised!

Anyone who values clean floors over their guests not being in pain shouldn’t be allowed to socialize with other humans anyway.

As someone with A) severe foot pain that is partially helped by wearing supportive footwear, and B) someone with severe anxiety regarding foot odors, I fond attitudes like this pretty ableist and gross. But thanks for letting me know I’m not welcome!

The draft shouldn't exist, for men or women, but so long as it does it shouldn't be applicable to some and not others on the basis of sex.

I think that’s likely what most, if not all supporters of choice want. But how we talk about it matters. Better sex education, inexpensive and easy access to birth control, freer access to emergency contraceptives — these are things that will naturally lead to fewer abortions. And that will happen whether we say a…

More than 50% of people order their pizza online, so everyone else isn’t picking up the damn phone. And maybe you missed the part where there are web only deals and specials, available only to those who use the web and don’t pick up the damn phone? 

“This person that is suing a pizza chain for not catering to their very specific needs should have just picked up the phone and called for a pizza.”

I’m not sure I follow. A physically disabled person could have a fully functional, industry standard wheelchair and if a physical location has stairs and no ramp access then the assistive hardware is entirely useless. In much the same way, a visually impaired person can utilize current, popular screen reading software…

With lying to and deceiving women being codified into law I think our only recourse is to speak the truth louder where women need to hear it most - right before she walks in through the front door. We need to be sitting outside, camped out on sidewalks, letting women know what the place they are about to walk into is…

No gas chambers though so this is totally fine, right?

No gas chambers though so this is totally fine, right?

There are a whole lot of people that are somewhere between hospitalized and ready and able to work. I count myself among them: I’m currently in an intensive outpatient mental health program that I attend 3 days a week. The likelihood of my finding a job that is flexible enough to work around that is virtually…

I was 15, working at a chain bagel shop in an extra progressive neighborhood of an already progressive city when I was first faced with *overt* sexual harassment. And I put up with a lot of it, because strong not-to-be-derailed and all that, yeah? I cringed when my boss smacked my ass, I forced a chuckle when he told…

Here’s the thing. I read it when it was first made publicly available. I also re-read it just now just to make sure I wasn’t inserting the commentary subsequent to its release into my false remembrance of the source material. I believe this safely places my reaction in the non knee-jerk category.

Guess what? After…

I worked at Macy’s for about 6 hours around the same time, not the iconic Miracle on 34th Street one but one out here in Portland - a lame mall anchor store location.

A giant wall totally counts as infrastructure though, right? That we won’t even have to pay for, because A) Mexico and B) Prison Labor. Don’t need a DoT for that!

I recently read an interesting article (and by interesting I mean sad and rage inducing) about people not giving a fuck if their news is fake or not. And it makes sense, we live in highly curated info bubbles that we create from the things we want to believe. They want to believe salacious nonsense to justify their…

Because sometimes guided meditation is helpful.

This is my fall/winter coat and I love it. I get a little sad when the weather warms up and I can’t get away with wearing it.
