Yesssssssssss. Fetishizing the votes of old white men because they’re held up as the ultimate authority and arbiters of what can be allowed to happen in the world isn’t even kind of subtle, and it happens like fucking clockwork. When Clinton [, Bill] won but lost white men people basically threw the Democratic Party a…

The World’s End was definitely the better apocalyptic film that year.

Pretty sure exciting white Boomer women in the middle and even the center right who are appalled by Trump’s misogyny about the possibility of the first female president is ultimately worth more to Clinton than the white Boomer men she might be chasing off. Not only are they a larger population group, they vote in…

Okay but nothing in your comment explains why she should change anything about her strategy for these Boomer men. Whether they would outright refuse to vote for a woman or outright refuse to vote for a Democrat, those are two things that Clinton is, and will remain. She should ignore them and keep on keeping on.

Honestly, I agree with you. I think fetal viability makes a lot of sense as a cutoff point (though that point varies per pregnancy), for most peoples’ sensibilities. And the focus on doctors’ and patients’ rights to providing and receiving care is great, and it was FUCKING MISSING from the PP v. Casey ruling.

internalized misogyny is a hell of a drug

Once again: The Planned Parenthood v. Casey ruling is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE and is to blame for the legality of all of these TRAP laws.

That is assuming that everybody under conservatorship has the knowledge and capacity to complain. That is the whole point, ensuring that people with mental illnesses are not being exploited. For that reason, I think reporting on it is very important.

It’s a cynical campaign designed to get Sesame Street to bring legal action and generate public interest and visibility. The use of the word positive there is intentional. This is similar to the GoldieBlox thing from a few years ago.

I love how passive aggressive they are, like I always want to be like "people who are truly drama free would keep their mouths shut" BUT THEN I WOULD BE SUCKED INTO THE LOOP.

half unrelated but if someone doesn’t stick amy schumer in a dress with a structured shoulder soon i will secede from this nation

They so often terrorize campuses with their smug entitled antics - then act all haughty like one single fucking pancake fundraiser makes up for a year of entitled, elitist, racist destruction.

(they are almost always GOP dominated as well.... BLECH)

a cool thing about doing EMDR/ truama therapy is that i feel like i’m no longer a victim or a survivor. it’s like a thing that happened that i no longer have any connection to

I feel the concept of ‘victim blaming’ only has a few valid applications where questioning what a victim could have done to better protect themselves is actually harmful to the victim, and gets thrown around too casually.

Amen, sister.

Okay, I see what you mean, and I think that would be ideal, but I think the problem with that re-Star Wars is people’s attractions typically don’t come up at all, so introducing them when they’re not part of the story would be strange. Like there are a ton of characters in the original trilogy who could be gay because…

I’d rather they keep with the tension between familial relationships than introduce a pointless romance.

Chewie can’t be a furry? A baldy maybe...

“Rita Ora” is the name I use to check into hotels when I don’t want anyone to find me.
