Sweet sweet memories, indeed.

Surrogacy laws exist to prevent poor people from becoming breeding machines for the rich.

“There’s no way any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday. For him to walk out there in dark skin. It’s simply an outrage. There’s no excuse for the president not to be white at all times.”

This opinion deserves it’s own certificate:

I don’t care about the context, this is inappropriate and unacceptable. You want to joke about this kind of shit in teh teacher’s lounge that’s one thing. Taking time to make up a certificate, sign it, and present it is quite another.

That idea that queer-identified men can’t or don’t sexually assault women is dangerous and short-sighted.

They identify as a genderqueer non-rapist, but they may have straight, consent-fluid sexual interactions.

Unfortunately, that oversimplifies this particular situation. I work in vaccine advocacy in the Twin Cities, and the Somali population is at a real disadvantage when it comes to parsing out information regarding autism, which is “new” to them. Many of them tell us they had never seen autism before coming to this…

Putting this here so it gets seen: hennepin county is huge, it is not predominantly a Somali community.

I think they realized that all their parents cash, all their Twitter and Instagram followers, and all the advantages they expect in life couldn’t help them. They were truly at the whims of some collosally stupid event “planners” and the overwhelmed local infrastructure. That is their definition of existential dread,…

Also, the lack of plumbing and water were on the SITE, that stretch of beach, not the entire island. They were within walking distance of a damned Sandals, not stranded on Gilligan’s Isle.

You make a good point about MJ! And I don’t think he was being literal when he said people would think OMG I can’t believe this, it must be a fantasy! More like emphasizing that very very few people have been so big and fallen so far (and lots of other stuff in between). I still think he’s right, perhaps with MJ…

Thanks! I’ve been reading so many of these they’re bleeding together.

my AC broke and i couldnt sleep in my 80 degree apartment last night, but i was blessed with this hashtag on twitter. so thanks, universe

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

“that’s just us telling them what could happen” isn’t exactly reassuring, and in fact has a hostile feel to it.

There is no such thing as a “liberal/left-wing” capitalist.

They look like a squad of death eaters who have been stupified and are about to fall back on their asses

There are a few options for keeping the tie flat along the buttons of the shirt — the tie bar, the tie tack/pin, or the tie chain (egad, chains are gauche!) Usually the skinny end can be slid through the label in the back. I’ve gained weight over time, so some of my older, favorite ties (which fit just fine when I was…
