I read your post on SNS, and I was unable to grow my hair long because “it was too thick,” and, thus considered unmanageable. It’s really just about control. I’m over it but I have never had short hair as an adult.

I already posted about this on SNS, but I still feel very deeply about my hair.

Right. A lot of parents in this country feel that a child should have about as much agency as the silverware: just another object to own. 

Yeah, well, I got hit as a kid. A lot. I sure as fuck didn’t “turn out fine”. Probably one of the worst things was when I read that people who grew up in abusive households tend to repeat the cycles of abuse. For that exact reason I never had kids of my own. I was terrified I’d be like that, too. Ironically when I…

“Why are you drinking coffee if you’re a training hologram?”
“I’m still Kathryn Janeway, kid.” 

In a weak moment, my mom discussed my sister’s mental health issues. She had the audacity to wonder why my sister still had a propensity to unpredictable violence. I exclaimed...

...it might be time to try and identify the reason that around half of all American parents still hit their children, in an attempt to reach and educate these people before the trajectory of their kids’ entire lives is shaped by ineffective at best and harmful at worst physical aggression.

Instead of focusing on whether or not spanking works as a behavior modification aid when decades of evidence have proven it does not, it might be time to try and identify the reason that around half of all American parents still hit their children,

More than that, she said, “It would be God’s will if I am here or if I am not here.”

I’d guess that the set of people who want to crowd into a stadium overlaps significantly with the set of people who don’t take this whole “deadly pandemic” thing seriously.

One of the problems might be that the shows they work on or the image that gets them work is something with a much more conservative fan base. They could be afraid of both losing their main drawing point as an actor and possibly even dealing with harassments from fans that feel “betrayed.”

Pretty sure if Gaetz resigns/gets booted, someone even more disgusting can easily be found to replace him.

As a Florida Republican, this most definitely improves his re-election chances. 

Let’s have a new Bond movie with Idris Elba as M, Dan Stevens as Moneypenny and Page as Bond. You won’t take your eyes off the screen. And the flirting between Bond and Moneypenny would add a whole new dimension. 

Not a stretch. Given how many imbeciles I’ve heard say “underlying causes!” you’d think everyone who died was morbidly obese and ninety years old.

I’m still, a year later, explaining this logic to people way too often.

Fox News would like you to know that, in every one of those cases, the cause of death was insufficient patriotism.

Like Greene herself, Crossfit sucks ass.
