I’ve heard rumors that Butler will finally(!) be making it to the screen. Fingers crossed...

I wonder why someone never took Octavia Butler stories and put them on TV or Movies? SCIFI/FANTASY ADVENTURE instead of fitting into a European frame of mind.It would be nice to have a AFRICANESS 

I kind of like it that two of the least morally corrupted people in the series fell in love with each other in a very innocent and pure kind of way, but I wish the showrunners had managed to find something interesting for each of them to do some time in the last 4 years.  Especially considering one of them is…

Flavor that gin!

Normally chewing doesn’t bother me but it seems like this “person” was deliberately smacking and just making the most amount of noise possible with the biggest open mouth possible.

Yeah, we ate them like this in Malaysia also. Pineapples in the CONUS are shit. Hard as a rock, starchy, sour, flavorless. You can occasionally find a ripe one but then it’s going to be a Dole Gold and even when they’re ripe they’re not even close to a bad example of a Maui Gold or a Sarawak pineapple. 

Now I’m going to have to check every Dr. Nerdlove column from now on to see if the term “horizontal co-op” makes an appearance.  

That hit me, too. So Kelly is saying he doesn’t have a cult but he is a slave owner? That’s... a weird defense.

To paraphrase my namesake: “Kelly makes sounds like he’s a mean little asskicker. Only Gayle ain’t convinced.”

Sure, but that lawyer should still be stopped before he gets someone innocent hurt.

“I mean, I’m so busy, and yet I still find time to run a cult, for which, I might add, I do not get paid.”  

that was my takeaway! ‘can you believe how bad these parents are, selling their children to someone like me?’

To be fair, if I were this dude’s lawyer I would be doing everything I could to get him behind bars until I got myself fired too.

Perhaps someone should point to Mr. Kelly that if the parents sold their young daughters to him (and that’s probably true to a certain extent) it necessarily means that he purchased these women from their families.

Also, maybe a fringe opinion, but what sort of a loon would even want to brag about it in the first place? “Nyah nyah nyah nyah, we made up an institution that fails outright in half of all attempts, and traps half of the remainder in a loveless, soul-crushing quagmire they can’t afford to escape.”  Big ups?  

“inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, “We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage””

“I’ve been sober for 22 years”

I don’t think it’s either, honestly. I think what Natalie is saying is that, especially for queer people, it’s exhausting that we can’t get past such a basic thing. Unless we’re in academia or in a private setting with fellow minorities/non-minorities who understand, any kind of conversation about queerness in gaming…

Deconstruction of harmful worldviews is a process, not an action. It’s engaging in the process that makes you a good person. It’s progress that makes you a better person.

I wish more people were able to acknowledge that having an “-ist” thought IN AND OF ITSELF does not make someone a bad person. Having an bigoted thought, and not recognizing it for what it is, not working to address the issues that have lead to that thought, not recognizing the flaw in the thinking, and not making…
