This article is very irresponsible since it implies medical marijauna is safe for unborn babies when it is not. 

Yeah I actually went and taught a class and then rode the subway from one end of Manhattan to another and couldn’t get a seat the whole way because I appeared able-bodied. In retrospect, I could have sprung for a cab, but I was a poor graduate student. It was all uncomfortable, but peanuts compared to the benefits. I…

I’ve had two IUDs inserted and it was fine? I took two advil before hand. It definitely feels weird, and hurts, but it’s over so quickly, to me it seems like a small price to pay to not get pregnant, which would hurt a lot more. And compared to hormonal BC, I will take half a second of pain over the risks and side…

Yeah, my understanding is that first cousin marriage between two typically genetically diverse first cousins in the U.S. is fine, with the risk of a recessive defect popping up only slightly greater than between two randoms. But REPEATED first cousin marriage where you end up with way less great great grandparents…

Stenberg’s character’s outfit is by far the most revealing in terms of cleavage tho. It was obviously about her (and maybe other characters to a lesser extent).

If you spend anytime around Octogenarians, you’ll see it really do be like that tho. Men in good health in their 80s are in short supply.

yes

Some good info in the thread, but Damien Echols (of the West Memphis Three) was most likely falsely convicted, and has since been released under an Alford plea. 

I stopped watching before whatever season this is. But you are right, that is A+ reality TV.

Does BDSM, swinging, polyamory, and polyamory belong in the LGBT community? 

I responded to some biphobic posts in here, and it looks like those responses were deleted, presumably by the people spreading misinformation about bisexuality. Anyways, maybe this will stay up.

Pansexuality is a newer term, and many bisexuals believe that it perpetuates biphobia by implying that bisexuals are transphobic, don’t date non-binary people, or don’t care about personalities or “hearts.” Or being bisexual “reinforces the binary.”

No orientation excludes non-binary people. Straight, gay, and lesbians can and are attracted to non-binary people, and there is not a word for men attracted to men and some non-binary people (but not women), they are gay; or women attracted to women and some non-binary people (but not men), they are lesbians, or men…

Bisexual has been defined as attraction regardless of gender since the 1970s. Bisexual does not exclude transgender or non-binary people. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Q—nIkJu0OS0BgiyZmdKVwOVg1G90SFzWijNDWFTt58/edit

Yup. And note that Lucy Liu was the one who actually used homophobic language.

Right! (And in the U.S., legally the term was used to cover stuff like oral sex and anal sex between mean and women up until anti-sodomy laws were ruled unconstitutional in 2003).

I thought the conflation of different acts like pedophilia, anal rape, etc. that fell under “sodomy” was one of the criticisms the first time round. How did that not get fixed this time either?

And John Lennon!

nice

NOOOOOOOO
