Well hey, remember how people were talking about racial turnout problems in northern states? Now is our chance to apply Voting Rights Act stuff to them! Pennsylvania tried to get those ID laws specifically to disenfranchise voters they thought would go (D), right? Let's get Pennsylvania under this Voting Right's…

Once again, I don't care what is in someone's "heart." I care about what they say & do. I'm crazy that way.

Well you can't blame the guy! He's a Christian, & they aim to act like Jesus Christ in the Bible. Can you imagine what would have happened if word got out that GWB was letting people hang out with prostitutes? Without even throwing the first stone at them? No, we live in a Judeo-Christian nature, we can't just…

Can't tell the difference between discipline, violence, abuse & sex? Welcome to the CDD! We have a lot of rules...that prevent us from understanding the links between those things!

"With Patience & Fortitude" is the worst Jane Austen novel.

Remember to bookmark this page for the next time someone is talking about "complementarianism" or "homophobia" in the context of the speaker not having any idea how science works but enjoying throwing pseudoscience around in their mansplaining.

"I'm not X...but..." is always such a nice opener. At least she clarified that not only was that 16 year old asking for it, but maybe she wasn't even a virgin (definitely asking for it).

You know the way fighters don’t fuck before the fight?

Interestingly, I just started watching The West Wing, & while I find it PLAUSIBLE that everyone in a position of power is a man (CJ being the exception, & being the most junior of the senior staff) I also find it troublesome (especially given Sorkin's highly dubious record on The Ladies). Sports Night— one of my…

Issues of "fertility" aside, is he factually accurate? Do immigrants have higher birth rates than people born domestically? I mean— his diction is terrible, that is just awful word choice— but is he making a factual statement?

At least he's honest! He's disappointed in his sons WORDS, & his LANGUAGE. His actions & meanings, though? Totally in line with Arizona Republican actions. Hating people who aren't white & people who aren't straight is okay, but TALKING about it is right out.

In my anecdotal experience, I've only seen black guys wearing these, though not in a while. I think it was a G Unit thing? Anyhow, I assumed it was a hip hop fashion.

How about just...an entirely different angle of approach? "Would you do a recreational love drug with your spouse?"

Is Gizmodo a Gawker blog anymore? ANYHOW, I think they have a page with all the components you need to buy in order to build your own computer. They have the specs for a cheap one, a goldilocks on, & a top of the line one, & they update it periodically to keep all the links relevant.

I'd actually rather the definition of "a man" as performative rather than based on biology; that reflects reality & doesn't negate trans folks, either.

Actually, pretty much ONLY if they have outdoor seating, as they aren't the boss of the sidewalk.

Don't worry! They own it plenty. Everyone reading that list has the reading skills to read between the lines— it isn't coincidental that it is all non-white-men on that list.

“I don’t think I’m an ‘emo liberal’ and I don’t consider myself a feminist but..."

...& atheists & agnostics. I'm, you know, very willing to admit that the religious discrimination of the BSA is not as pernicious as their bias on the basis of orientation, but if we're listing ways in which they are still intolerant, let's not forget it.

I'm arguing that such a belief is not central to the organization; yes, the BSA council has decided to double down on it, but deciding that because an oath mentions god means you have to believe in god is...well, by that logic, the current pledge of allegiance* would rule out atheists from being citizens!
