My important takeaway from Average Anna was that her husband needed to contribute more around the house, and stop taking her for granted. Maybe if he would talk at the dinner table instead of playing with his phone, she wouldn’t be so likely to have an affair, I’m just saying.

It sounds like Average Anna has a pretty good time until she gets married and has kids.  That was obviously her mistake.

So what’s the over-under on this? Either the courts revisit that lawsuit and Scientology starts facing a bunch more similar ones, which they will litigate aggressively, vindictively, and ceaselessly until they win; or, the courts accept the argument, and an abusive cult that kept women as sex slaves is allowed to…

Poverty porn is a new term to me but so accurate! I am so sick of the news clips showing the lines of “underprivileged” etc kids/families being trotted out to receive their gifts/turkeys/whatever.

Nyle’s twitter has been poppin, i also really loved these tweets. I feel the same way about Poverty Porn movie

I work with a company that does a lot of purchasing for schools and governments in Texas, this certification is everywhere. It basically prevents you from doing any sort of public business unless you sign a document saying you support Israel. It’s fucking ridiculous. Right above the no foreign terrorist organization…

What in the Laura Ashley in Ivanka wearing?

Right, he made a joke in the beforetimes, when it wasn’t wrong to disparage people for their sexuality. When threatening violence against gay people was the law of the land. Before gay people had risen up and become sentient beings, when there was no need to respect their inherent humanity. Way back (*checks notes*)…

Hart sure used a lot of words when all he had to say was “I said stupid ignorant things. I was very wrong and I’m deeply sorry.”

Absolutely true. Also applies to white people and racism.

Can they all eat each other 

I fucking hate her so much.

God, we needed her so much.

The “oppressed” conservative.

This is my story. Thank you.

This is a hard point of view to stick to, since large numbers of professions put a woman at above a .00001% chance they’ll end up harming their baby. I work a relatively highly regarded job that you probably wouldn’t think would put a baby at risk, and the last woman who was pregnant was told she had to stop working a…

People lose their relatives all the time and don’t get to bury a body, when their relatives died doing absolutely nothing wrong. THAT is awful. THAT is unjust. Leaving this dude where the Sentinelese put him? Well, I guess he’ll get his wish to “live among them,” as he told his adviser for this whole thing.

I should add, I don’t think anyone should be trying to retrieve his body.  His family needs to live with the fact that their son died being incredibly stupid, and that putting others in danger (including the very residents of the island) to retrieve the body is selfish.

Fuck this guy and fuck anyone that wants to retrieve his body. I’ve been fortunate to work with a variety of indigenous communities (in strictly non-religious contexts, and sometimes in direct opposition to the local religious nutjobs) and don’t feel a shred of sympathy for anyone that supported this selfish,…
