Baby elephants are proof that the universe loves us and wants us to be happy.

To which Republicans would say its "your fault you dumb broad now carry it to term and no we wont pay for the hospital bill and since this is one of the few countries to not have mandated paid maternity leave you can go fuck yourself with all the money you will lose. Also dont forget to vote for us because we are not…

I will never stand between you and your choice to have smelly pee.

I hate these motherfuckers with the fire of a thousand suns.

If your constituents don't like abortions, I would recommend to them that they avoid having any.

"We can't actually PASS abortion legislation because then we would lose that as a means of getting fundamentalists to the polls"

"I'VE GOT IT! We pass it when we KNOW it will get vetoed or fillabustered. That way we KNOW it won't pass but we still get credit for trying!"

People, I adopted a three-footed baby kitty this weekend. His name is Toby.

my reaction.

Seriously how many more times do I need to keep buying all these re-releases in hopes of supporting it enough that they'll finally do an hd-remake or something.

So you're saying that if I'm hanging out with someone who has a crush on me, even if I have no interest in having a relationship with them beyond being just friends, that sooner or later, it's inevitable that we're going to hook up?

Why do you need to be under the assumption that because HE has feelings for her that HER feelings are mutual?

Yeah, I mean, as soon as he has inserted a sufficient amount of "Being Nice To You" tokens, her legs will just automatically open.

If you go into relationships that way - assuming that your partner is going to cheat on you because somebody else is into them - you're just creating a self-fulfilling prophecy. Of course other people will be interested in being with your partner. You were, so why wouldn't somebody else? Nobody wants to spend time…

Not explicitly true. I have a friend that I've always had a bit of a crush on ever since middle school. She's said she's not interested in that but we still hang all the time. Doesn't bother me, doesn't bother her.

He wasn't trying to steal her phone, he was just trying to put his number in there for when she changed her mind.

Yes it was ruled a homicide by the coroner. The cop also has a prior history of abuse and is the focus of two other civil suits. Oh, and the chokehold is banned under NYPD policy - but there are no charges.

We have faith that our courts will provide justice for the survivors and that this step will aid in their healing process.

it's beginning.

I don't like victim either. I prefer survivor, personally. As a SURVIVOR of sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, I'd rather just be called that. I survived. I was victimized but because I did have to deal with those scars, I'm a survivor.

I think many women in my place prefer this. Yes, she was a victim but she…

The label of victim is so charged and comes with so many connotations, which is why I loathe to use it. It's wordier but I've found that some who experienced X (be it sexual assault or domestic violence) best encapsulates the situation without using victim.
