Domestic violence only escalates. If they’re slapping you today, they’ll be punching you tomorrow and be killing you before the end of the week.

Her constituents did that already.

The skepticism of Ocasio-Cortez speaks to the broader classism, sexism, and racism that characterizes so much of the way things work on the Hill and in elite media spaces.

To the other commenters, where did they act like they cured inequality? They proved a point and people, like local news, took notice. That’s like step #1 of deconstructing white supremacy - using your privilege to not only acknowledge it exists but also right the wrongs it produced.

I see this divergence around what’s…

Highly recommend the Andrea Long Chu review that was linked to. 

Transparent was good for its first season, then quickly became unwatchable. Coincidentally, Jill Soloway became progressively more insufferable. This quote betrays just how up her own ass she really is:

Great that she used more intersectional language this time. But the backlash was somewhat unfair. She said women which encompasses all women. Women’s lives and experiences are so complex, you can’t address them all in one speech. And I do think she had a point, specifically in my experience with black men cis and queer…

“Arquette famously left women of color out of her Oscars’ speech, instead referring to women and people of color separately..”

You are definitely not reading into that too much — CFO is one of the company’s top positions. And it’s a huge deal that Chris Metzen and Mike Morhaime (among others) have both left over the past couple of years. The question of how Activision’s culture impacts Blizzard is not a small one.

Amanda Donaldson, whom she claims violated work protocol by making several unauthorized purchases using Rowling’s funds, amounting to about $31,000 in charges. Rowling is worth about $650 million, how would she even notice this? Why would she care? And what was she paying Donaldson, I wonder.

Yep. Homebirth is taking unnecessary risks at the expense of your child for your own “birth experience”. In my opinion, you have failed the very first test of parenting by doing that. No baby is going to remember their birth.

I get mistrust of the US health care system. I really do. But it wasn’t THAT long ago that childbirth was a leading cause of death for women. Forgive the expression, but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Home birth can be great for some women, but the fact that this group deletes any advise that counters their beliefs and doesn’t make room for other treatment options makes them a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.

WTF is the point of living in modern times if a person doesn’t avail herself of some of its luxuries, like a freaking pre-natal appointment to a midwife or something? Yet she will chatter on FB about the “primal instinct” that takes over. Guess what? Birthing can be pretty deadly, just look at history. But no, the…

Let’s pour one out for State Rep. Dr. Betty Price (R-Georgia Suburbs), the wife of former US Rep and former Sec. of HHS Dr. Tom Price*, who asked last year “about the legality of quarantining HIV patients to stop the spread of the virus that causes AIDS.” She lost her seat to a Democratic woman. BYE, BITCH.

Because this continued idea that we should be the “bigger people” and be bipartisan isn’t an ideal shared by the GOP, demonstrated by everything they did in the last 2 years.

Any Democrat who uses the word “bipartisanship” needs to be politely escorted from the building and cordially asked to never return.

“The lawsuit also says Negron’s third supervisor had told her that “diversity should not be a focal point of the design of Riot Games’ products because gaming culture is the last remaining safe haven for white teen boys.””
