You don’t edge out into an intersection when there is even a chance that you would get caught if traffic ahead of you stops.

Williams reportedly told cops that she was trying to make it through the intersection but had to slow down due to traffic, leaving her car in the intersection. Barson’s wife said there was no time to stop and crashed into Williams’ vehicle.

Dear Jane,

I completely read that headline as “Joe Biden.” I am now a little disappointed.

I mean sure. But like people voted for him here. We had choices. Other nations are now left to suffer the consequences of the choices made by his rabid group of supporters who don’t care about Russian interference or how Trump is ruining our relationships with foreign nations.

This is cute. Good for them.

Who’s a good mayor? You’re a good mayor!

The Queen was and is not a coloniser. In fact, one of the most significant aspects of her tenure has been the dismantling of the colonial structure. There is a great deal of evidence to suggest that she is not prejudiced. Most significantly, she is not supposed to be political in any way. However, she deemed the…

Really? But one looks like a human and the other one looks like a Bratz doll.

What’s with the fad of bands spelling their names as though they’re trying to fit them on a vanity license plate?

As a person with an autoimmune disease, I am not offended in any way shape or form and actually think this is a pretty good analogy. People need to sit the fuck down.

Ugh, I’m really getting sick of language being SO policed. Didn’t anyone with severe allergies also get upset at Lorde and force her to apologize? People die from allergies!

Nuance is a thing sorely missed in public health discourses.

Being a few pounds overweight can have health benefits but ya obesity is not a joke. It’s not “fat shaming”* to acknowledge that it is what the 3rd leading cause of preventable death? And increases your risk of countless other health issues. I come from a big family, I struggle with obesity. I feel like cap when my…

Yes, thank you. I hate this bullshit “obesity doesn’t make you unhealthy” crap. It might not kill you (but it probablto will) but it’s absolutely not harmless. It is just as serious as any other addiction. Because it is. NO one is seriously overweight (I am not talking about a few pounds or even 20, 30, 50) without an…

Blackface is something specific. I’m not really supportive of it’s continued expansion into more and more situations.

But, even if the picture is darker, is it blackface? It seems crazy to dilute the term to that extent.

Yes, and it is one thing if you are overweight but eat reasonably well and get some form of exercise (walking the dog, taking the stairs) and aren’t gaining. But if you gain even a pound a year, you can end up with a massive weight gain before you really notice. That’s why a yearly checkup is so important, and just…

Yes, I see a lot of “Obese people can be healthy, thin people aren’t necessarily”, and that is technically true, but the number of obese people who really are healthy is miniscule.
