What’s appalling is outsiders assuming thry know what his wife and relatives are or are not doing. Also, maybe don’t put the onus on them? He’s a grown man who reportedly has refused many forms of treatment, including medication. You cannot force someone to comply with mental health treatment, even if they are your…

If they’re teaching at all in-person, they’re not doing enough for students. Or teachers. Or families of students. Or the community. There is no safe way to reopen schools currently.

As of today, there have been 3.8 million confirmed cases and 138,000 deaths in the US from the pandemic. There remains no unified…

Free feeding is ideal, and works most of the time with pets that have been raised in the same household since early puppy-dom/kitten-dom. They self regulate, eat what they want, and then stop. My dog is like this - I fill his food bowl with a few cups of food and refill it when it gets empty (usually every 2 days or…

That was a good read! Fuck TERFs/FARTs, and Brennan in particular. The cognitive dissonance of saying trans women are mentally disturbed men but she fully supports their rights to a job, while pushing completely against all trans rights, just hurts my brain. 

I have E cups and live a mostly braless lifestyle, with absolutely no wires anywhere on the rare occasion I do choose to put on a bra. No shade to my large-breasted sisters who feel differently, but a bra is in no way necessary to my comfort.

I like the saggy look! Mine are kinda cone-shaped. No bras for me. I feel like I’m suffocating in them, but I do enjoy a light support sports bra.

Nothing is sadder than a napkin that’s been used to wipe excess mayo off of the top bread layer in a sandwich.

You stare at the napkin in your hand, limp and soggy, before looking back at your other hand, dismayed by the symmetry now represented by the soggy piece of bread you’re also holding. Despite being absent of…

My DDs and I are just fine with no bra. There were some breakouts that occurred but it seems my skin has mostly adjusted.

No, the difference is that trans-inclusive feminism argues that while all experiences between all communities of women, whether it be transwomen, disabled women, women of colour, LB+ women etc, may not be the same and shared by all they still fundamentally as people do face persecution and discrimination by society in…

I mean, in the letter itself it says that she pretty patiently HAD those good faith discussions:

Yeah, this is where I remind people that, as someone on the high-functioning end of the autism spectrum and depression, we need to stop putting racism in the “mentally-ill” bag. Nobody’s objecting to mental illness here. They’re objecting to Ms. Cooper’s racism. And while there can be overlap between racist beliefs…

The social contagion hypothesis has the wrong end of the stick. It makes sense that kids who feel gender dysphoria tend to find each other and form support groups with each other. 

OMG my MIL has the identical fear: men are going to start using the women’s bathroom. She went on and on once about how awful it was and it’ll be a big deal.

Just a reminder that this Champion of the Women and Lesbians didn’t include a single lesbian in her hugely famous book series, and the only gay character was left in the subtext. Also, the only female main character was her self-insert.

who refused to put her dog on a leash in an area in Central Park where he said leashes are required.

I’m with you—things are good with us. Then again, we’ve been through shit before and while this is different, global shit, we’ve already been tested and established decades ago that, for us, marriage is easy—it’s life that’s hard, so our jobs involve getting each other through the stresses of life. One of the things…

#2: Have you ever considered *why* you need to get married? The ceremony? The social pressure? Like...WHY?

I think some of the author’s point are valid but I agree with you. I bought a “fashionable”, CDC-recommended washable face mask for $20 to support a local mask maker, who is mostly getting their income at this time strictly from selling masks on Etsy and IG. It’s to keep myself and others safe because the alternative…
