Mädchen Amick would have been such an awesome Carrie. She’d still have been self-absorbed bitch but intentionally and in a fun way.

Social stigma alone, it’s crap to suggest I should have to put my body and my health and my income through that. Gross.

does your mum have face-blindness?

I’m less than 6 weeks pregnant and it’s already hugely disruptive. Every pregnancy is different, of course, and there are people who can go through some, much, most, or even all of their pregnancy without it affecting their life much, but if I didn’t really want this baby, this would be HELL. I already had to miss a…

The white savior vision is strong in transracial adoptions. I would be a millionaire if I got paid everyone told me how “lucky” I am to be adopted by an American family. I’ve also had people tell me that if I weren’t adopted, I probably would have been a prostitute in my home country. Gee, thanks.

Fuck off. We do not often keep children with their mothers for too long, we’re far too quick to break up families. 

I think it can be a fraught thing to discuss because there is pressure to send the message that adopted kids are no different from biological kids, while acknowledging that there are legitimate complicated feelings of abandonment and not fitting in that are going to arise.

Those aren’t blinders, it’s the constitutional right to direct the upbringing of one’s children. You really couldn’t do a better job of supporting the author’s point that this is a reproductive rights issue, reading all that and responding with “we really should make it easier to do involuntary termination of parental…

Also having adoption as an option versus abortion is so so disingenuous. People counseled that to me when I was planning to have an abortion- I was like “I don’t want to be pregnant- adoption would not be a solution” 

No. Make the United States a place where a woman doesn’t have to choose between shelter and supporting her child. If we had stronger social safety nets and more pro-family policies, women would be less likely to choose adoption.

I should have a say in whether he gets a vasectomy by that flawless logic.

I once had a student get very mad at me because I wouldn’t let him write a stakeholder research paper on why abortion should be illegal. To be clear, the stakeholder paper requires the writer to be tangibly affected in a real, demonstrable way by whatever issue is at stake in the paper. I’ve had students write great…

I know he’s just a kid but fuck him and his victimhood. He knew exactly what he was doing and has zero remorse. 

Sandmann explained: His classmates, are not “racist people,” they—like he—come from a school that does not “tolerate racism.”

Dick care is already a booming market. It’s called viagra.

But see, the students’ pro-life rally was the right KIND of political. Fits their image.

Is this lasagna actually 4x5 feet or made out of gold? Otherwise there’s no way in hell it should cost that much.

Apart from anything else, there doesn’t appear to be enough cheese on top of that lasagna.

I would not eat it because I will never go to a gender reveal party. I am very clear with everyone. I do not care one whit about your spawn.

They may say that green is actually supposed to be blue for boy, but I know what’s actually happening here: a whole mess of nonbinary kids getting their own lasagnas.
