There are ways to teach truth without teaching fear at the same time. And reacting from a place of fear when it comes to politics tends to end very badly.

Nothing beyond what they would hear on tv or radio? What? Maybe not, but the parents also get to monitor what their child hears/sees in that situation and can turn off the program and have a discussion. (Besides, what kid really pays attention while mom is watching the news? OK, mine do, but they also ask questions…

She’s not excusing the lady in the article; she’s excusing her friend who pumped in traffic. Very different.

Nah, if she’s got a good pump and hands free set up and her milk lets down easily it wouldn’t be distracting. I used to pump and do lesson planning. And the seatbelt would go right in between the bottles collecting the milk!

Some things are just too much. I hope they got double secret probation for that.

And this article has been sent to the Dean of Students’ office at each of these institutions, yes?? Please???

It must be weird to be SWF’d by your own sister....

So, are we supposed to believe that Kanye, like, FORGOT that the awards were happening and just had to come in the stuff he’d been wearing all day and working on the house in? That’s just how little he cares?

Because Kanye told her to?

Those two could so totally co-exist. Imagine the Necromongers as basically one of the ruling families from Jupiter Ascending. But instead of the whole “harvesting planets to stay young forever” stuff, they’ve just gone a different immortality route.

I’m going to make sure to call you a troll at every opportunity from now on.

Yes, they have. Blech. Google the 2015 Hugo awards and Rabid and Sad Puppies. Also Vox Day. That should get you all the info you need to be sickened by MRA behavior.

Damn. I now really want, nay DEMAND, a space epic in which the bad-ass space princess uses what look to be harmless and fashionable face decals or possibly even just bits of her face as deadly weapons. They are tipped with poison and surgically sharp. brb writing Jupiter Ascending/Riddick Chronicles cross-over fanfic

Nah. LUGGAGE 5eva. Rincewind needs to..... why is he running away? I was just going to suggest he get back to the Library and translate for the Librarian....

polish does not make up Things. This is clearly Truth.

Yeaah, no. See, you’re still tone policing there. There is a HUGE difference between the marginalized group making generalizing statements about the group in power and the reverse situation. Frankly, when it comes to how POCs should talk about white people, and what words they should use is when I sit my white ass…

I’m pretty sure they both love music, too. AND they both love movies. It’s FATE.

I get why you’re prickly about this, but you can’t just look at this as an isolated thing, and going all #notallwhitepeople isn’t helping the conversation. Tone policing has a loooooooong history, and has been used a) by men to shut down women and b) by whites to shut down POCs. So, when someone who looks like Miley…

I do hope your interpretation is correct, but I still hear mine. :/ Sadly.

Ummmm..... no.
