yes, this. Race is not actually a biological thing. It’s a social construct, not a biological one. All the traits that we consider defining of race are inherited separately on various chromosomes, not linked up in some way.

I was feeling depressed and sad and blue and way down in the dumps today. It sucked. Then I came home and discovered that Shade Court is back. If I knew how to post gifs it would be like that moment in The Wizard of Oz when it suddenly turns from black and white to color. KARA KARA KARA

That’s why we’re here...sigh...

Now I have to quit this comment thread because you just won.

Personally I thought the second paragraph had a pretty good clue of what the reader was getting into: “did you know that most sexual harassment cases are secretly financially backed by Hillary Clinton”

Thanks for taking the time to post that thoughtful comment. I can’t disagree with this: “Porn that is considered by most to be degrading is a by product of a misogynist society rather than the cause of misogyny itself.”

That’s exactly what I was just trying to say in my grayed comment above! You said it better though.

I commented on this above and I’ve said it a few other times elsewhere on the Internet, it’s good to hear other women say it.

Yep, that’s the only thing I’m sure that I’m sure about, about porn: it’s a terrible substitute for sex education.

“There have been things that he expressed an interest in trying that porn actresses respond to as though they’re the most wonderful things in the world but I found to be at best kinda meh or at worst kinda uncomfortable.”

Well, as an older lady who had sex with men in their 30s when I was in my 30s and then had sex many years later, with men who spent their formative years masturbating to Internet porn, who are now in their 30s, I can tell you: in my experience the sex is worse. Because they think they know what good sex is and it’s…

Yes yes yes!

Fucking reaganomics full stop.

Yep, I just listened to the Radiolab podcast about this, part of their More Perfect miniseries about the Supreme Court. Apparently this guy, Edward Blum, has made it his life’s mission to bring these kinds of anti-affirmative-action cases to the Court. He goes fishing for test cases and that’s how he found Fisher. Not…

Shade court, I love you, I miss you, come home! (weeping)

OHHHHH. ok that makes sense then.

GODDAMMIT

Yeah, I’m pretty pro-vaccine, and I wonder about this too. My own kids are millenials now and I postponed their vaccinations a couple of years, but now there are like twice as many being given to kids, and I just sort of wonder. I’m not really thinking they cause autism, I just wonder how effective and safe it is to…

Had to wait till I got home from work tonight to watch this. Damn, she’s good. I don’t know if she’s interested in politics, I sort of doubt it, but she would be great.
