this is such a bummer. I love my tarot practice, and crystal healing, and the “worship the earth and all that it provides” feeling that the process of fermentation and growing food gives you. I’m a total nu-hippie about all of that shit. and these dumb white bitches ruin everything good and interesting about these…

I’m too tired to unpack all of these statements about “he wanted a political revolution but wasn’t willing to campaign X area or do X thing with members of congress” like yeah no shit cause he doesn’t believe in it. And the fact that you would spend time explaining how untrustworthy Bernie is for not meeting certain…

why is Gawker Media shitting on Bernie? did I miss something? did we all go from openly acknowledging that Trump is a racist maniac, Hillary is a war mongering oligarch, and Bernie is an honest dude with a long track record, to just straight mocking him for believing in his campaign?

I wish! alas I was a simple body piercer.

I used to work for a former Marine. He had been in for about 10 years before being dishonorably discharged for getting a DUI and crashing his car on base. Anyway, of all the bigots I’ve met, he was one of the worst. He ran the tattoo shop I worked at in a very liberal town and all the homophobic asshole clients went…

Riff Raff 4ever.

You know what I wish when I read these “We deeply regret xyz” statements is? I truly wish, deep down in my bones, that the perpetrator and whoever allowed the bad thing to happen feel like they really fucked up. Like, pit of your stomach, cold sweat, shaking, praying to whatever god is listening, REALLY fucked up. I’m…

Happy children’s day, and thank you for writing this. I come from a very similar place. We just ended up at different locations.

“My former wife saved her from trash cans in Korea, I married her as a child, and then showed her all the great capitals of Europe.”

This guy sounds like a fucking Game of Thrones villain. Fuck Woody Allen and fuck everyone who still watches his movies. Official stance.

My conflict as a strict vegetarian is that these people directly profit from my dollar, spent at their business (hypothetically - I’ve never been) which funds their lives. My dollar, then, is spent at their restaurant, which they invest in cows they kill and eat. Then I’m participating in the same financial…

Thank you for stating this more eloquently than I could. I’m so sick of having this conversation after 12+ years that I get frustrated really quickly - like why the fuck does it need explanation that I’m mad people I’m financially supporting with my patronage are DIRECTLY participating in what is against my deeply…

I follow some Weird Facebook pages, the inevitable child of Weird Twitter humor and shareable FB content, and one of the funniest jokes is when they just share legit Lisa Frank posts.

This is exactly how I feel. Fuck.

My main distaste from her came from her truly unhinged slut shaming of Farrah Abraham. Like, Farrah has her own issues, but Teigen went off on her in some really gross ways (and doubled down after being called out) for doing porn.

I understand how difficult and traumatic IVF and miscarriages are to potential mothers, that’s not part of my post whatsoever. Nobody makes the choice to do IVF or continue trying to conceive after multiple miscarriages for fun. They do it because they want children - which is the part I don’t understand. The desire…

In my mind, there’s nothing more selfish than bringing another human into a debt-crippled, polluted, warming planet that doesn’t have proper resources to care for women and children just so they can experience the shit storm that is parenting. Truly, it must be a biological need I just don’t have.

Agreed. I know women my age, late 20s, who have spent well over $160K on IVF treatments, and others who suffered multiple miscarriages because of treatable health issues like being overweight. It’s a difficult issue to discuss without skewing into issues - am I fat shaming? am I motherhood shaming? - but holy shit. Why…

I’m sure our experiences are different. That much is clear. My point is, more broadly, how at odds a liberal worldview is with the objective, verifiable bad that Christianity causes and supports. Are there good Catholics? Hell yeah, tons of ‘em. Is it a generally outdated, oppressive, narrow minded religion that…

I grew up in an Evangelical mega church, so my main thing is how ANYONE can be a Christian (Catholic or otherwise) and liberal/progressive. The bottom line is that they need to admit to themselves how at odds with each other those two philosophies are, and just accept it. I understand plenty of people participate in…

I cannot imagine the intellectual, emotional, social, and emotional energy it takes to convince yourself and those around you on a daily basis “yes, I am Catholic, I believe in a male god responsible for the Bible and all this dogmatic ritual practice rooted in multiple pagan European cultures and responsible in the…
