OK I was not expecting that from the headline. “Hey look at these cool costumes, oh yeah some people got stabbed and stuff but whatever.”

Anywhere where there’s transparency that gap disappears.

Sort of like the Pope. Yes, they’re “more” progressive. No, they aren't progressive.

Now an action moving involving a Japanese librarian and a Latin@ tax professional would be a treat. . . .

Or, the reverse of that, which is that actors with disabilities or developmental disorders are almost never cast to play a character who isn’t explicitly disabled.

I would 1000% rather see a movie about a Japanese librarian and latin@ tax professional than almost any action flick. I fail to understand your issue.

What popped into my mind when I read this is disabled actors. Almost always, an able bodied actor is cast to portray a disabled actor. Only exception seems to be when an able bodied person cannot pass for a role, and those actors are almost always walk ons or supporting cast.

Unfortunately this is true for a lot of minorities and also women. Shit, Idris Elba just got basically told he isn’t suitable for Bond. My point is that yes, more trans folks should be able to act, but it’s a deeply screwed up industry and trans folks’ inability to gain traction is just one aspect of that.

Anytime someone brings up “all natural” to me when discussing skin products or medicines, I like to point out that poison ivy is natural and ask if they want to rub it all over their body. It usually shuts them up.

It seems to me that the same people who insist that they support the military and veterans yet fail to get them the care they deserve once they are disabled are the same as those who are pro life yet have no interest in helping needy children once they are born. This has been a depressing day for the social contract

The lost eyebrows ought to be the least of your worries after self-immolation... Hey, you’ll look amazing as you struggle to ward off every infection known to humankind — and those infections are all-natural, too!

Dihydrogen monoxide is the real threat.

I’m sure they were worried about all the chemicals.

It would definitely be a glow, yes.

Are you saying that if I spread fire on my skin, I will have a beautiful youthful glow? NATURALLY?

I’m pretty sure the reason her sunscreen didn’t work is that she didn’t include enough zinc oxide/titanium dioxide to have an effect. And the reason they did that was because people get fussy about thick, white sunscreens.

I am so over all the people in this “all natural” movement. Snake venom is natural. Spiders are natural. FIRE IS NATURAL.

She really should have sued for just negligence and not mentioned all the race bullshit.

Well ... there are some other things at play, and as a parent of a kid from a donor, they concern me. As a person who did visit and use a sperm bank, I spent a lot of time picking a donor, looking for illnesses in the family histories, listening to the donor on tape, looking at donor baby photos. I ended up having to…
