i totally trust that you know your friends better than i do. But you wrote your comments to use an example to generalize about the article, take issue with the term kinkster, and imply that people like to just brag and no one cares. what i offered, was an argument that in a general sense, there may be value for some…

cool. way to take it upon yourself to comment calling out the term, then using an example that uses kinky as an adjective—then get all riled up about how you know the difference. You seem really worked up over this. your choice.

You don't have to talk about how you like your sex. But you can't possibly argue that there aren't thousands upon thousands of books, magazines, articles, movies, tv shows, about or portraying sex. and that these are traditionally heteronormative and very traditional. so one person writing about their experience…

weird, i dont want to picture most of my married friends having sex. And marriage should be whatever people want it to be, that works for them. These are pretty much arguments made against gay marriage. Marriage is a government sanctioned transaction. so then, the government should define it? or should the…

maybe it was important for them to claim that as their identity, and wasn't to show off? people tend to assume that the title is some sort of status grab. why can't it be the same as saying "we're getting monogamous married!". the assumption is that monogamy is the baseline norm. Practicing polyamory can be taboo…

Except kink isn't used exclusively as an adjective anymore. "Experienced Kinkster" isn't necessarily the same as "I'm kinky", the way you use "I'm naughty". It refers to a type of sex/play, that varies from what sex is traditionally thought of. Words like kink are used to name things that aren't often given a name…

Part of the problem for dems not getting people to vote is that many people are failing to find them a party of any kind of distinction. The right goes further right and liberal democrats follow them, instead of holding ground as a progressive party. It's harder and harder to find a good reason to vote for a…

And still we often have shitty candidates and more shitty candidates—There are a lot of races I won't be able to vote for, because i refuse to endorse bad behavior—Democrat or not

I would think brownies laying on a counter, or even in the freezer is more of a danger. (I've even known more than one full adult mother who accidentally ate frozen edibles and had a very very intense and unwelcome high). I'd assume most kids aren't accompanying parents on their shopping trip (that's a different…

I'm not sure how homemade edibles is different than buying them. Either way, there are things far more deadly and far less regulated.

Aaaaand fox news comes in with the most rational reporting on the subject. it pains me to do this, but it needs to be done.

sure. except you started your post by claiming to know what everyone was going to post about as if they were less worthwhile than anything you have to say. so, no thanks

can't get a post approved apparently? did i need to put a trigger warning about Jay Z?

Just like showing one arab terrorist on the news might be accurate, saturating the public with these images until it dominates the entire narrative is problematic.

whereas you've just contributed so much

This article is so much better than yesterday's fear mongering post about the nurse who contracted ebola and how we should all be worried if we sneeze. There is actually LARGE bodies of work and research available on the history and prevalence of racism in medicine and science—so any commentators will find they have…

thank you

Can we quit with all the fear mongering? these articles are so not actually contributing to public health. Here are things way more contagious than ebola. If you are a medical professional in close contact with bodily fluids of a sick patient, be worried. For the rest of us, when you're on an airplane, try not to…

Except this isn't a religious or cultural conflict. it's political and there's an occupation. these religions have live side by side for ages. there are also christians in the holy land. they are palestinian. their land is stolen too. no one says they have a religious war going on.

This encounter was less dramatic than the time my boss asked me if i was feeling better after a sick day. It's not suddenly made more interesting by people posting their outrage. This fool is rich and privileged. We know. He gets followed everywhere. Sometimes maybe he doesn't smile. Not liking his music is fine. …
