That’s the problem. GC shitheels on twitter aim to do the “rational conversation” routine and then play victim when people they’ve just said shouldn’t exist send violent sounding messages. They like to use an unrelated problem to blame on transpeople or substantiate their anti-trans views as evidence by association (“P…

This is true, but it is also true that many people who could be helped by anti-depressants refuse to take them because of the societal stigma against mental health problems which makes them feel they are weak and if they can’t just “buck up” and be stronger then they shouldn’t need meds. Pushing that line of thought…

In the abstract, over prescription is a serious problem that warrants continuous discussion. It’s a non sequitur to a discussion of trans people, though, and that’s precisely the kind of insidious rhetorical strategy that she’s using. She analogizes getting a prescription for antidepressants to the much more fraught…

The problem here though is equating the issue of a lack of funding for therapy when it comes to mental health to transgender transition. As I’ve put in my main post this user who claims to want to have a nuanced take has clearly been well indoctrinated into Gender Critical cultery (and it is a cult from reports of…

I think sometimes we’re too quick to reduce people to chemistry. The relationship between body/brain chemistry and the mind is insufficiently understood, thus far, and we might eventually (re)discover that some issues need to be addressed primarily though the latter.

Also it later came out that Reade was not credible at all. Her own lawyer dropped her.

This is a satire issue (and the limits thereto), not a straight-up blackface issue. The fact that this author fails to account for this is totally emblematic of the decline in the quality of the writing on this site.

The sketch used blackface knowingly as an attempt to punch up, skewering both white privilege and police brutality. There was no racial stereotyping, and people of color weren’t the butt of the joke. Its akin to Tropic Thunder, and it is 100% fine. 

Well the video is marked as private so I can’t quite judge the sketch, but it appears as though the point was, honestly, exactly in line with the times going by the description: Being believed to be black automatically provokes police to violence, and being white gives you a ton of leeway. But I can’t see it so who…

Remember when The AV Club would report the news, rather than tell you the specific, exact response you should have to it?

I know I could use more 30 Rock in my life, so I’m not gonna complain.

Velocirapstar, you son of a bitch,

Did you intend to sound like a deaf asshole who cannot read?

Huh? Try reading the article next time.

Eh, nowhere is that great at the moment, but we’re hanging in there. Hope you and yours are fine.

I’ve missed you!!

Oh, hey, you’re still hanging in there. Remember Disqus? That was fun.

Childrens Hospital being available in full on streaming makes me the most happy.

About time some service has Childrens Hospital available without purchase.

RIP. This one hurts especially because my father (who was also 73) passed from the virus on Friday, and we buried him this morning. For anyone who doesn’t know, right now the regulations are so extreme that most funerals can’t even have attendees other than immediate families, and (at least for us) the deceased can’t…
