It’s great to see Miley speaking up on such an important (and largely ignored) subject, as well as being so much more articulate and respectful about her own life and motivations. It feels like an about face — a few years back, during her twerking phase, I was so grossed out by the entitlement of this rich girl…

you should check out some of her backyard sessions. they’re great

Dude, my shitty ex neighbor used to say, “If you’re pro-choice, I wish your mom was.” Until I said, “Yeah, mine is. So am I. So are my kids. So is my husband and his parents. We were all very much wanted by our parents. Our kids are very much wanted. It’s a shame you can’t say the same.”

My birthmother Juno-d with me (for lack of a better term, she went to the clinic to terminate and decided there to choose adoption). It weirdly does feel better, knowing that she was able to make that choice for herself - like I wasn’t born out of some forced-birth tragedy, but instead out of her own choice and her…

yeah, that was my thought too. My parents are pretty open that their kids were 100% planned and the pregnancies that happened between those planned children were terminated. That thought makes me feel pretty great, that my parents were fucking purposeful and responsible about the family they created, instead of…

You can’t get more correct than that. I mean, maybe this is why I’m not a parent, but I’m sure people out there are like me who are pro-choice because they want as many births as possible to be affirmative things that everyone involved agreed was a good thing they wanted in their lives.

Yeah I agree but I’m afraid it will be awhile until we get the police to interact with the public in a good sense let alone someone neuroatypical and/or with mental health issues. I was just questioning the bracelet as a stop gap for your safety.

I had an African sociology professor who would say “perry-fairy,” leaving all of us looking around at each other and wondering what the hell fairies have to do with sociology. We eventually figured out that he was saying “periphery.”

I just think of how aggressive the ducks in the park got after years of people throwing bread to them and then I magnify that by bear.

he is a cunning linguist.

I’m really grateful for journalists taking care to report suicide compassionately and responsibly, so thank you. For anyone who is interested, the Samaritans guidelines are pretty good, IMO: http://www.samaritans.org/media-centre/m…

EDIT: Oh, and for the people complaining that this is clearly ‘POLITICAL CORRECTNESS…

As a Funeral Professional, we use “completed suicide”, as one can “attempt suicide”, someone who performs the act of taking one’s own life has completed suicide.

Bats are sky cats. Cats are land bats. All is well.

I made a decision way back that I didn’t want kids. But this is making me think.

I mean, she’s 18 years old and like six feet tall. It’s entirely possible she eats well and is perfectly healthy. She’s basically still a girl, and six-foot beanpole teenagers are not unheard of. Maybe we should ask why $1200 shoes and $4000 dresses that almost no teenager can afford need to be modeled by teenagers,…

we’ve cum so far, but we still have far to go.

That story made me believe in gun ownership.

my little 10 year old cousins are going with their mom and I am shamefully jealous. However their mom did once take me to see the Barenaked Ladies and that was pretty fucking awesome too.

Generally supposed to be Asexual. And due to asexual erasure being a thing some of my fellow ace people find it really insulting to have people insist on “Ally”

My sister, an “L”, says it stands for both; queer and questioning. And also “Quit denying me my rights you fucking assholes.” But she may be overstating a bit.
