Shiiiiit, I didn’t realize the Comm Ave. PP had gotten so bad! When I was up that way, it was only old, silent, white dudes on Saturdays... Fuck these people.

I really don’t think this fuckfence understands the First Amendment. Doesn’t protect you from slander and fraud, bro.

Ditty told Jo that her daughter had choked to death on a banana.

GOOD. I have zero patience for golf despite the fact that my parents and extended family absolutely love it. I was already 100% done with this boring fucking sport, but what cinched it for me was my parents’ Savannah, GA golf trip. My parents played on a former plantation turned golf course and players had to hit OVER…

We really are. And maybe the best bunch. Ain’t no party like a medievalist party.

HIGH FIVE FOR MEDIEVALISTS!

I’m not a pagan, but I’m wondering if some of the early Medieval “Christian” rites, like blessing a field, are hold-overs from pre-Christian European religions, and that those are some of the rituals modern paganism has adopted?

Also, just a sidebar on #4: There were some witchcraft trials in…

Okay, no McRory, I’ll tell you what political theater is—it’s proposing the dumbest pro-discrimination, anti-choice, “religious freedom” laws you can in order to distract constituents from the fact that you’re not even remotely doing your damn job.

There’s so much amazing—and important—nuance in this article, and my hat is off to you for it! I couldn’t even think of a good place to start discussing the whole topic.

Aaaand the more I read and think on this, the clearer it is that these foster parents are trying to martyr themselves. Screw them, for real.

I hate to be this cynical, but the degree to which that Facebook page (and the parents in their own words) are so hyperbolic and Christian makes me really side-eye any claims they’ve made. There’s definitely something else at play here.

Sidebar: Pictorial is the nicest ever, holy crap. You are all a delight.

OOOOH NO! I’ll look that up though, thanks! I’ve just torn through “Frozen in Time,” which I definitely recommend if you haven’t read it.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK! That said, it’s hilarious picturing me trying to save someone from the Northwest Passage...

Shit, touche...

...So what are the odds of them offering a group discount? Anyone else with me?

So rational me says this can’t be a good idea, might hurt the environment, takes advantage of global warming, etc.

DAAAAAAAAMN. She has the smolder down pat!
