As someone who very much wants kids and almost certainly will never get to have them at all (I’m still trying to work through pretty hardcore trauma that’s left me unable to be in any sort of sexual/romantic relationship for the foreseeable future, I’m already in my late 30s, I have no money for egg-freezing or IVF or…

Oh, god, yeah, that’s awful. It really cannot be emphasized enough that children singing off-key is cute only if you actually know and care about at least one of the children in question.

As someone who enjoys caroling, there are three rules that I think are really important for carolers to keep in mind:

So, fun fact: I’m actually friends with someone who was on Clinton’s staff for a couple of years when she was in the Senate. My friend obviously worked with her extensively rather than just meeting her. So, y’know, when my friend says that she was consistently impressed with Clinton’s kindness and dedication to making…

No one is disputing that lots of people hate Hillary Clinton. The right wing hasn’t exactly made a secret of the fact that she sends their “bitches should know their place” mentality into overdrive. What I am disputing is the idiotic idea that Clinton was somehow forced on Democrats against their will. What I am…

I used the Firefox version of that up until the election, and then found that it was just depressing me further to see jokes about how stupid and unelectable he was. Now I just want a Firefox add-on that turns all headlines involving Trump into something along the lines of “It’s Okay Not To Read This Article. You Are…

Ditto. It’s fucking exhausting and I’m still really struggling to be of use to anyone else in the aftermath of this insane election. It doesn’t help that I live in a deep-red area of a red state and have PTSD thanks to rape and abuse, so literally every time I leave my house now there’s a cheerful little voice in the…

Literally everyone who runs for President is “power hungry,” by definition. You do not aspire to a job in which you will have a lot of power because you don’t want to have any power. I am sick to fucking death of the stupid, sexist double standard in which we throw tantrums about how terrible Hillary Clinton is for…

I am seriously getting to where I want to punch the next 19-year-old white dude who condescendingly explains that “people” liked Sanders better than Clinton. No, dudes. People liked Clinton better. That is why three million more of them voted for her in the primary, because, shockingly, people of color, women, and…

Thanks for literally coming right out and saying that women aren’t people. Usually you guys try to dress that sentiment up more, so I appreciate the honesty, even if it wasn’t entirely intentional.

I’m pretty sure the first time I ever called myself a feminist, it was because of Hillary Clinton and her goddamn cookies (or lack thereof). I’m not saying she was a perfect presidential candidate, because she wasn’t, or that I agree with her on everything, because I don’t, but besides who she is as a person, for as…

I increasingly think Trump (or “Trump,” insofar as I kinda doubt he’s actually picking these people rather than letting whichever of his advisors sticks their nose farthest up his ass tell him whom to pick) is actively and deliberately trolling us with these picks. At this point, I’m pretty sure the Secretary of…

Because the problem is that the precedent it would set is not the electors’ right to choose the person who won the national popular vote, but rather the electors’ right to choose absolutely anyone they want. The laws being challenged compel electors to vote for the person who won their state; the legal argument being…

Have a remarkably timely XKCD! :)

I do not care about Jennifer Lawrence one way or the other, but I mentioned upthread that I distinctly remember her telling this same story a couple of years ago, and that time she specifically said she had no idea the rocks were sacred until after the butt-scratching happened. So while I think the way she told the…

I mentioned upthread that I remember her telling this same story a couple of years ago, and that time she included a couple more very relevant details that she really should have mentioned this time - most importantly, the fact that she had no idea the rock was sacred until it was too late, but also the fact that,…

I don’t have any opinions on Jennifer Lawrence in either direction, but I remember her telling this story a couple of years ago, too, and that time she specifically said that she had no idea the rocks were sacred at the time of the butt-scratching (and no one at that time seems to have contradicted that statement, so…

I am surprised to see Garth Brooks on that list - while he’s largely kept out of politics, the times he’s gotten political have seemed to indicate that Trump and Pence wouldn’t exactly be his cup of tea. (I mean, if we assume that the lyrics to “We Shall Be Free” reflect his actual opinions, they pretty clearly…

I stared at that picture for a full minute trying to figure out if I was looking at bad tattoos, weird chest hair, or some combination thereof. I’m still not sure what exactly I’m seeing there, but I’m pretty sure it looks really goofy under an open shirt like that.

I think the only way it would be weird is if you wanted to bang Jeff Goldblum in his later-scenes-of-The-Fly makeup. Pretty much every other version of Jeff Goldblum is eminently bangable.
