....although I will say, I’m down with the recast of Rocky

Always obligatory for “free speech” dog whistlers

It has always been some of my favorite hangover viewing. Lots of primary colors, bright but not too bright, easy jokes, gentle laugh track - perfect for those mornings (or, ugh, afternoons) where I wake up and moving hurts.

I do love that show, but good lord, does she have the most one-note, heinous, Pier One Pottery Barn middle of the road soccer mom interior design taste I have ever seen. Every. Single. House. She puts up some gawdawful “EAT” chicken-wire old-timey nonsense in the kitchen, or “HOME” in the entryway. They are delightful…

But, like, what does “full child of someone else” mean? The baby gets its genetic material from the first parents, but all its nutrients and stuff from the birth mother - materially, the baby is mostly made up of the birth mom. So what do we mean when we say “biological parents”?

I feel like mothers like this treat their children like they’re the Gollum.

“MY CHILD. My preciousssss. No one else can teach my preciousssss. It belongs to ME.”

Yup, also true.

Nooooo not Monty Python too!

This comic is so on point

My pup is too small to rub my face in his belly, and his breath smells pretty bad, but he’s still a total cutie

I am a grown-ass woman, but I am NOT ashamed to admit that, were I a teen today, my entire room would be covered in a collage of Lucky Blue and Erika Linder.

Completely off topic, but I am horrified/delighted by your avatar. You’re like my bizarro world evil alter self.

Agreed. Perhaps when the organization sees it’s gotten to the point that some girls are trying to defect to Boy Scouts, they’ll actually start making moves in that direction.

Like I’ve said to other commenters above (don’t mean to be a broken record), I absolutely agree with you that this pill is not the answer (and that the path to a better pill is broken), for precisely the reasons you point out. I just don’t want people to think that just cos this pill was a failure, that the problem…

Oh yeah, I totally agree that this pill is obviously not the answer to the problem, for the reasons you point out. I’m more upset about people who have been saying that we don’t need an answer to this problem at all, because it’s not a real problem, only something The Patriarchy has convinced silly, stupid me is a…

I am living that life. I’m glad you have a supportive partner too. Let’s hope this pill is not the last attempt at helping us figure ourselves out.

Yeah, I hear you, I’m not mad about people criticizing whether this drug is the one that will help women like me. I’m upset that there seems to be a good number of people who think women like me want a drug like this (that works) because we’re stupid/misguided/etc.

I think part of it might be that the infrastructure of Girl Scouts has fewer opportunities for outdoor stuff than Boy Scouts does. For example, Girl Scout badges have a much greater (if my memory serves me) emphasis on indoor activities - ranging from indoor art stuff (painting, sewing) to affective work (volunteering…

I don’t understand all the hate for this pill in the comments. There are definitely legitimate reasons that women might be frustrated with the decline of their libido, and alcohol is not going to help with that. I miss my sex drive, not because my partner has been complaining about the decline (he has been…

Not that I completely agree with this approach, but I do find a reasonable discussion at the root of it. Sexual orientation and gender identity, while related in many ways, and highly intersectional, are definitely distinct things. I can understand the concern that, by lumping them together in a ubiquitous shorthand…
