The number of things that were left out of this is interesting. She didn’t just miss constituent meetings, for instance: she claimed she had attended them when she had not. She didn’t just ask for her rent to be reduced, she made her ex-husband out to be a much more immediate threat than he was to score a rent…

There is a definitely a conversation around how victims are portrayed and class intersects that, but it would be nice if Jezebel or any other outlet that pushes that narrative would at least be honest about some of their framing around Reade. It’s not that “she had economic issues, so clearly she’s lying”, its the…

Yeah, if they spoke about racial microaggressions or outright racist behavior, that’d be one thing, but it sounds more like “legal intern upset that they have to get coffee instead of getting to run a murder case like they saw on Legally Blonde.” I mean, yeah, interns and field organizers have a shit position, and…

Here is your reminder that rejoicing that bad things happened to people who did bad things is not morally acceptable.

Fed is fed is absolutely right. I found out after my dear friend, who was an elementary school teacher, passed away that she basically bought a bag of apples or oranges, several cans of soup, and a bag of mini-chocolates a week. Every Friday the students had “take home bags” to put their artwork and paperwork for…

“Obviously surrogacy is more intensive (in effort, time, danger, etc) than prostitution”

This is slightly off-topic because there is a LOT to say about the Ks treatment of Jordyn, but was anyone else seriously disturbed (though not surprised, given the family’s intense dysfunction) that Tristan threatened to kill himself to get out of being accountable for his behavior, and that he apparently does this…

Caster Semenya is a biological male with sexual development problems (fact - it is the left pushing “gender” ideology who are among the most anti-science people around). It’s unfortunate, but that is a fact, and this person should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports without proper testosterone reduction and…

There are about 74 million people under 19 years of age in the US. They have a mortality rate from all causes of about 25 in 100,000. That means about 18,500 people under 19 die each year and yet you suggest that 44,300 people under 19 (the vast, vast majority of people getting vaccines) are actually dying solely from…

There is no part of Jewish law that says you shouldn’t vaccinate. In fact I’d go as far as saying it’s a general commandment to stay healthy and furthermore you can break any Jewish law if it is to save a life.

I went to a super restrictive religious elementary school, which I guess made us bored and weird in return. Anyway, it was probably 3rd or 4th grade, definitely old enough to know better, and I remember walking around the baseball diamond with my friends during recess chanting, “God made dirt so dirt don’t hurt.” We…

“Cult" does not refer to beliefs, though, but to practices. Mainly isolation, brainwashing, abuse.

On paper, they’re distinct. In lived reality, the Venn diagram somehow turns out to be a single flawless circle in the end, every damned time.
