I have often said, when the time comes for my pets and others’ to leave us, that the only consolation is that life gets so much easier. It doesn’t make us miss them less, or have loved them less. I understand the relief. They enrich our lives while they’re with us, and they free us when they leave us. It’s possible to…

We could, I think, live to see a flattening-out of the upwards curve, if we were really serious about fighting climate change. Well, I’m mid-40s now, dunno about you, so I could theoretically have about half of the rest of my life left ahead of me.

I know, right? I miss last March, now THAT was a week of winter!

My immediate respnse to him would be “Then you should volunteer to help at some shelters, here is their contact info!”

Seriously! I was reading like “okay so some run of the mill tech douche is clueless and lame” and came across that and was like WELL SIR YOU CAN JUST GO RIGHT AHEAD AND CHOKE ON SATAN’S PUTRID DICK

I lived in SF from age 24 to age 44. Here’s what no one who still lives there wants to admit: our once-beloved city now belongs very frimly to the Justin Kellers of the world. SF is their city now, and there’s no going back, no saving it. The damage is done. SF is coasting on its amazing history, but this is its…

Sounds like North Texas? That one week of winter sure was something.

Imagine being told that if you worked hard just like your parents did you would get the same opportunities they would, so you go into life expecting that just by the sheer power of your effort you will succeed. Only now ten other people are vying for your job who grew up hearing the same thing.

Do you live in the US? Have you watched state legislatures chip away at abortion rights by closing dozens of clinics? Are you aware of the mandatory waiting periods, parental consent, etc. that disenfranchise women who might otherwise have access to abortions? Because there is a raging abortion abolitionist movement…

It will be simply: god doesn’t give you more than you handle. Yada yada gift from god, Jesus and his cross, we can’t know the will of god. And btw fuck your request for governmental assistance.

I hope she is!

The article I originally read it from is missing. Jim Bob put his foot down and announced on their website that he’s against both control under all circumstances.

True story. I know this awesome conservative couple who helped a woman out who was thinking of having an abortion. They decided they would not only adopt her child, but supported her through the process, were there on the day of the birth and offered to pay her medical expenses. I used this as an example to my…

Word. This author seems to have a lack of familiariaty with what cold motherfuckers the anti-choicers are. “Would you make a zika victim carry her baby to term?” “HELL YES” is what every last one of those assholes would say.

nah it’ll be all “god doesn’t give you anything you can’t handle. You’ve been chosen to care for this child”

Yep. True fact: Rick Santorum’s wife technically had an abortion. They discovered life-threatening abnormalities that made the pregnancy unsafe, and thus induced labor before viability and she gave birth to a fetus that died shortly after. Their version is that she had a premature baby who died—but the fact of the…

We’re talking about people who think that you should be grateful for suffering because it means that God loves and is testing you. They’re not exactly reasonable.

The U-pick-em pro-life responses to the Zika Virus:
“They shouldn’t have traveled to a third world country.”
“They shouldn’t live so close to a third world country.”
“They should’ve lived in another country.”
“They shouldn’t be having sex.”

It’s not great, but it is about the least offensive thing he said. I looked at what he said, and I couldn’t help but make it worse in my head.
