I have a friend who studied ex-gay ministries. These guys thought that by making their behavior more masculine, praying, etc., they could un-gay themselves, get married, have kids, like it. Some of them are now ex-ex-gay. It is really sad what they go through and how rejected they feel. And they attended these…

Parents that would send their child to a place like this deserve to be hit in the face with a baseball bat. Daily.

If something like being transparent with his taxes wasn’t enough, something silly like disobeying the Presidential Records Act certainly isn’t going to get him into any trouble either. While I don’t think his statement that he could kill a man in broad daylight and get away with it is true, I am reluctant to admit…

Ah... the old “intellectual diversity” scam.

She does look great, but I’m skeptical of that size 4 thing. She looks like I did at a size 8.

It seems like most people tend to think that teachers only work from the first bell to the last bell but they could not be more wrong.

“Any teacher worth their salt hates to be out of the classroom. Taking a day off creates much more work than it saves,” a teacher at Chapel Hill High School who asked not to be identified stated via email. “Teachers can’t just not show up. We have an obligation to plan lessons and leave directions for a…

Both teachers and child care providers are two of the most underpaid professions in this country. I get really pissed when people think that teachers are just stand ins for child care providers because even child care providers deserve to be paid 2-3x what they actually make.

This post gets a stamp of approval from me, an apparently humorless feminist who was pissed at this morning’s posts.

My husband is from a Detroit suburb and coming from a blue city I was amazed at all the Trump yard signs. Also at the cognitively dissonant Trump signs + Shrine (of the little flower, huge Catholic area) signs invariably next to each other on the same lawn. Wha..?!

My favorite part of all of this is that the Republicans who have districts on the lakes have now joined up with Democrats to protest the cuts. lol Like, get the fuck out of here with that.

Speaking of coasts and budget cuts, the Trump administration (ugh) is proposing cutting funding to the Great Lakes from $300 million to $10 million. When people saw the number they thought it was a joke, because no one could be that fucking petty. But, no, it’s a real proposal. Like, it’d almost be palatable if they…

I’m a teacher and I struggled with this a bit. I have enough days left, so I can take it off. But if everyone did, like the article says, school would close, disrupting lessons and really inconveniencing parents. Low-income parents would scramble most to figure out child care, and lose money if they were forced to…

I wish it were better organized with funds raised to cover women who don’t get paid if they take off this day and can’t afford not to be paid. That would seriously shut shit down. I would happily donate money to this.

Strikes require massive infrastructure in order to ensure participation. There is no formula for a workable strike that is made up of privileged pockets of engagement from those wealthy enough to sacrifice. The sacrifice of the wealthy needs to be ongoing. They need to ensure the poor women who skip work have a…

See, this is exactly why I’m just going to wear red tomorrow. A strike is one thing if you’re specifically trying to get the school board for benefits/a raise. But this is just pushing the burden of care onto different women (mothers and childcare workers). And kids need their education. If I was able to, I’d pick a…

whoa! look at this fancy guy over here with appliances!

I live in an incredibly liberal city—our women’s march was huge and was incredible to be a part of. But for some reason I’ve heard no conversation in my communities about tomorrow—mission statements, planned marches, etc. I’m concerned that this effort will fall short of its promise of “A day without a woman”... it’ll…

Show that good-for-nothing BlondeGoddess who’s boss!

I’m self-employed, so if I strike, the only person affected is me. Damn I want to be a good feminist!
