Is it bad that I hope this photo was taken at one of Trump’s golf courses?

obligatory:

I’ll tell Paul Ryan the same thing I tell my parents and all their noisy friends: you want me to have babies, create an environment where having and raising a child doesn’t cost an entire adult person’s salary and I’ll think about it.

So like ... can I have maternity leave? Affordable prenatal care? Any treatment for my battered lady-bits after birth? Help with childcare? (My parents live very, very far away and I really like what I do for a living.) Will my daughters be able to get jobs where they won’t be harassed by their employers, or is their…

Depends on if it stops his other victims (let’s not kid ourselves, if there’s one, there’s more) from coming out or the paper backs down from an article they researched for seven months just because the guilty party killed himself to avoid justice and scorn. All sorts of criminals commit suicide when cornered, that…

Christians who blame Satan for anything are the worst. The devil did NOT make you do it. He didn’t possess your body and pilot you like a meat mecha and make you do bad things. YOU did the bad things. YOU rationalized what you were doing. YOU ARE A BAD PERSON! Satan A. Doesn’t exist and B. If he did exist he’d be…

Man, he’s lucky suicide isn’t a sin.

He DID! He didn’t pass my class due to his refusal to turn in a single written assignment all semester. It’s a requirement for the major, so he’ll have to retake it, but I won’t be teaching it, another instructor will have the pleasure.

They’re conditioned to think that way from infancy, basically. It leads to the occasional awkward interaction in my classroom, when some guy tries really hard to establish himself as the authority rather than me. True story: I once had a student complain about the way I graded his exam, and he started with “I’ve taken…

He just had to get the last word and use that word to try to reassert the power that he thinks is his god-given white male right. She knocked him off balance when she disclosed she was a victim. Many men don’t know what to do when they feel they’ve lost control to a woman, so he had to put himself back on top by…

I simultaneously support your moral and entertainment choices and never, ever want to visit your house.

That’s okay, Andy Yeatman. Here are the things I don’t believe in and therefore conduct my life accordingly despite any evidence to the contrary:

I am calling bullshit on this part of the story. Since when do sharks parent their young and teach them to hunt?

I mean, yeah, on some level I knew this country was way more backward than progressive cities make it seem. I just really hoped it wasn’t as bad as it clearly is. I had really hoped we had come farther than we have. Probably part of why I have been depressed since the election.

Transportation Worker Protection Act, which would make assault against an airport worker a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison

Seriously. It is as if people don’t understand that there are more depths and types of love than eros (eroticism.) There is also storge (empathy and caring), philia (friendship love as strong as your family ties), and agape (unconditional love.) As the Joker tends to be depicted as frenemy, his relationship would fall…

This is why I sleep with a parasitic wasp in each ear. Once that cockroach crawls in, he’s in for a BIG surprise.
