Get back to me when it’s 3 girls and one boy. Cuz so far the only media property to subvert the trope is Steven Universe

If Wintour did not invite John Waters to this event then she fucked up and should be called out for it.  For fucks sake, Divine DEFINED camp for many of us. 

Isn’t this what they are upset about.

Agreed, but I still got mad at her by being outraged at starting “early” menopause five years older than I did without chemo. Hormones are very unfair.

Yeah I’m glad they’re going over Xo’s story with care and at a slow, reasonable pace. The show botched a similar matter with Petra’s postnatal depression in the past by sweeping it away in favor of soap opera dramatics, which was a real shame so the cancer plotline is making up for that.

Because the true goals of the study were to add a line to the author’s CV and generate publicity for them and their institution. Maybe also to use up excess grant dollars. Not to increase the knowledge base. Considering it has been reported on the national news and elsewhere, the study is a tremendous success.

I feel conflicted. Because on the one hand, I thought this series was garbage that exploited suicide and other problems faced by young adults in service to a hamfisted narrative, but on the other, I don’t think it’s fair to blame any single work of media for driving suicide rates, as if banning said work will some how…

In before the “just adopt!” folks descend upon the comment section:
Adoption is wonderful but it’s important to acknowledge it’s also incredibly expensive, time consuming, emotionally exhausting, and contains just as many unknowns.

I’ve watched folks I love go through both processes and no one understands the sheer…

“Discrimination and family-unfriendly policies are among the causes, but research has suggested another influence: “The returns to working long, inflexible hours have greatly increased” in this “winner-take-all economy.”

We’re more “productive” than ever, but we work hours as long as our parents or grandparents, and yet struggle more than they did to afford a house or any semblance of financial stability. We need another workers’ rights / trade union push, like the one that got us 8 hour days and the 5 day working week. We should be…

“I want you to bring me the strange bat with the erect penis” That’s a line that will be with me till I breathe my last.

“Kat’s side eye to the guy sent to get drinks [is he still getting them?]” LOL! :-)

“reprimanded for failing to represent the mission of this agency. for saying the quiet part loud.”

I don’t see how these DNA companies can market to African Americans without addressing the reality of slavery, and this was NOT the way. I would love to know more about my background, but I don’t trust what these companies will do with my genetic information. Recent stories about the use in criminal investigations and…

Anybody with Celiac knows that even if you ask for gluten free pasta no matter what kitchen you’re in there’s a risk of cross contamination. The question is, how careful do you think they will be. A nicer restaurant is less likely to gluten you than say “Joe’s Gluten Hut”. Often the server’s reaction to asking about…

So many medical professionals have worked tirelessly on this poor boy only for their hard work and dedication to be credited to a God who allowed the event to happen in the first place.

And the children who have gotten shot and not recovered - what, God didn’t love them?

I mean...this is cool but...why is THE INSTITUTION not paying anything? Why is this being paid for only by the students and not the institution itself?  It’s great that the students feel so strongly...but the school should really match whatever it is that the students are collectively paying, or at least contribute in…

Lizzo gives me heart-eyes. I’m in a long distance relationship and cry-singing Cuz I Love You (“Never been in love before/what the fuck are fucking feelings, yo?”) is the only reason I’m still saneish. 

I didn’t know this about Warren, but it makes me like her even more. I am from Massachusetts and honestly didn’t really want her to run for President. I do really like her as my Senator, but I felt like she does an amazing job in the Senate and we need her there. But I’ve changed on this, and I’m glad she is in the…
