The last line in this piece, the quote from Statton, ““If only these people knew” - the thing is, they do. They just. don’t. give. a. shit.

(repro advocate here - more studies like this are underway and we’ll hear so many more horror stories like this. the mindfuck is that even though stories like this may continue to…

“What they did today was equivalent, at least equivalent, maybe worse depending on how you look at it, to doing an insurrection in the State Capitol,” Sexton said on the House floor.

came here to say exactly this!

TX is in the Fifth Circuit, the most conservative federal appeals court in the country. Amarillo was chosen not just because of Kacsmaryk, but because any appeal goes to the Fifth Circuit (whatever the decision is, it’ll get immediately appealed), where bad precedent gets made. And -  next stop is SCOTUS. So yeah,…

my takeaway from the jason/lisa split - don’t get married.

so the rally/march was rebranded as the “Rally for Abortion Justice,” updated specifically in the wake of Texas SB8.  So the headline is accurate; all of the other things you marched for are legit! and are deeply interconnected to thousands of people coming together to support abortion rights. all good. and thank you…

there is a massive effort underway happening behind the scenes to mobilize lawyers to provide this representation. the law has yet another terrifying provision involving fee shifting which means that if the “aider/abettor” is found guilty and can’t afford the $10,000 bounty (plus attorney fees of the plaintiff), the…

I loathe these people with the fire of a thousand suns. I work in reproductive rights for one of the major national NGOs that litigates these cases; I also volunteer as a guardian ad litem for kids in foster care who, for a panoply of reasons, have been given the sh*t end of stick from their biological parents, “the…

literally came here to ask the same question (knowing full well the answer)

To quote my best friend, a gay man:

“It’s a very weird and fucked up world when you’re hoping that a celebrity actually was the victim of a horrific hate crime because the alternative is worse.”

would kavanaugh allow this as evidence in a case over which he was presiding? lol jk jk jk no because this is absolute bullshit. it holds up just about as much as the calendar i fabricated in 1994 to show my orthodontist that i was, in fact, wearing my headgear every single night when really, i never even wore it…

very grateful for “melty old fuckstick” thank you for making my morning.  my hatred for mcconnell knows no bounds.

came here to say the same thing but you beat me to it.

Yup. I searched the page for mention of Bevin because I thought I had missed who the article was talking about beforehand. Legit had to open up a new tab and google “bevin kentucky” to figure out who this asshole was.

Amen to this. Mine is tonight. And it’s not even like i work with assholes. Everyone is very nice in a southern polite sort of way, but boring as fuck. we have office lunches way too frequently for my taste as is, and the awkward silence is deafening. how is putting on fancier clothes and standing around drinking…

ah this makes me mad and sad and feel a special kinship with you. it also reads almost word for word, my reply when well-meaning but annoying people ask me, ‘well why don’t you try online dating?!’ (as if i had just never thought of it before! thanks for the tip!)

this is the one crucial piece of info that is somehow always missing from any article about LulaRoe and its shadiness/inherent pyrmaid scheme setup. HOW DOES ANYONE THINK THESE CLOTHES ARE ATTRACTIVE? I call it the “i don’t want my husband to find me remotely fuckable anymore” look. really, does anyone think this shit…

Uh, can we talk about how 2 posts down from this one is a post about “the blast,” a new gossip competitor to TMZ, the ickiest site of them all? with a screenshot about admitted scum scott disick being on a 5150 psych hold...

Also Facebook: You don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.

Throw the fucking book at these “brothers.”
