Here’s a (not so) novel concept. How about we continue to call out those racist power structures and work to dismantle them instead of doing what the “new black” does and make those within the power structure comfortable in the hopes they’ll deign to let us join.

The day you cut the umbilical chord.

The Catholic church already “pardons” anyone who admits guilt of a mortal sin in confession. They’ll pardon a serial killer of murder if they confess. So unless they said they’ll pardon people who don’t admit guilt or that they aren’t considering it a mortal sin - there is no change in policy here.

I like that we’re judging the head of the Catholic Church roughly the same way I judge the stuff my 8 year old nephew makes in his pottery class.

What happens the first time it happens to you very often sets the tone for how you handle it for many years to come.

I think it’s more sinister than “they can’t help being attracted to pubescent young girls.” At least among those who actually say shit out loud, I think there’s a thrill that comes specifically with making the girls uncomfortable. I was a lot better-looking in my 20s than in my early teens—got my braces off, waist…

What the hell are you even talking about with the monkey thing? It makes no sense in Australia.

When women are called bitches, it’s meant as overly-aggressive, doing what she wants, not submissive. When men are called bitches, it’s meant as overly-submissive, doing what everyone else wants, not aggressive.

I’ve lost 7 of the 30 pounds I want to lose. Almost 1/4 of the way there! I am so pumped! I just need to share with someone who won’t body shame me like my mother would if she knew I was “on a diet”.

I think you need to consider this one a regrettable, educational write-off - he definitely wasn’t over the top in a very mixed-messages situation, but you also were in a weird mental space that cuts you some slack. The guy liked you, but it was clearly too soon for you and he got dragged into a place where you were…

I wish I could think of something you could do. Men often joke about meeting their daughters' dates with a shotgun, but the street harassment/environmental harassment is really the most damaging thing to a young girl. Better she has to negotiate face-to-face with a peer about how far she wants to go while on a date…

well this comment fucking sucks, is the thing.

Yes we need as many people to take care of this baby as possible because when I’m drink I love babies but I also drop them.

She agreed to have this baby, then tried to back out. I think “no backsies” on paternity/maternity is a good general rule, regardless of the genetic markers involved.

I may be the only one, but I think this is adorable. Her face is like “Yup. This is what my life has come to.”

That picture is super cute. Also: leave breastfeeding mums alone. They have enough to deal with, including not being able to go to the bathroom in peace.

At this point, I think you’re shit out of luck. (Ba-da-ching!)

I have so many ways I could describe the amazingness of having kids, but here's a moment that stands out in my memory.

Honestly, I’d be more worried about poop fumes traveling up from the baby’s ass to its mouth rather than from mom’s ass to the breast. I mean, the trip from a baby’s butt to the mouth is much shorter than from mom’s butt to the breast. And whether it’s because the kid needs a nurse before they’ll consent to a diaper…

It’s blue and gold.
