As stated in the article, it’s the difference between punching up and punching down. The context is different when these statement are made white to black than it is when they’re made black to white. One of those two groups suffered centuries of oppression up to and including bondage, dehumanization, rape, murder, and…

I made her the Duchess she is today. Everything that Meghan is, I made her.”

When you see an adult child cutting a parent out of their lives, it often says so much about the toxicity level of the parent. It’s awful and hard to cut out a toxic parent from your life, or even to set some solid boundaries! In this case, Thomas Markle is backing up any suspected parental toxicity with regular proof…

the problem with using those kinds of metrics is that there is a lot of overlap in many metrics. Take combat sports and bone density for example. bone density is one of the things that constantly gets brought up when it comes to transgender fighters BUT there is a sizeable overlap on the naturally occuring upper limit…

I think this highlights a different problem than intended: if we all agree that gender is not, in fact, truly binary (a perspective I think which is uniformly held on this site), then how do you square that with competitions such as this sort of sport which have a pure binary division (i.e. “male”/”female”)?

As a Canadian I often think Americans don’t understand how seriously in decline the American empire is. I think Americans, for the most part are good people. However your country is a shit show (hole?) I don’t say this to be pious or better than thou, I say it because as a black woman with relatives in the States I am…

Also, really bad timing in a nearly Coen-level fashion.

Probably just the ghost of an unvaccinated child.

“I loved the actor who played old-Ryan Gosling, though. Or Noah or whatever...”

I never wanted children, but if I had...man,that would suck. I can’t think of anyone I ever dated who would have made a suitable parent. It just seemed like I would have been giving up so much and doing just about everything myself even with a partner, and I wouldn’t want to do that. Women today want full partners,and…

I really like the Threshold label from Target. They come in a wide variety of colors and designs, the price is very good, they feel nice to sleep on even though they aren’t a “high” thread count. But, best of all, the fitted sheets have elastic around the entire sheet. I have a deep mattress, although there are…

Yeah I’m not sure it helps Hardwick’s case that the only women sticking up for him is his wife, whose mother is like the patron saint of Stockholm Syndrome.

Yeah so weird since Patty Hearst always seemed to have such a good head on her shoulders...

I feel like wages should just be public records. Want to know if you’re getting paid the same as others? Just look it up. I feel like it would solve a heckuva lot of these sorts of problems.

First that pops into my mind is The Oracle Glass. It’s a fun one with a plot based around a girl who escapes her family to become a fortune teller to the court of Louis XIV. It’s reimagining of the affair of the poisons.

Is it really a separate issue? The left/right split comes from the French Revolution and we saw what the left did to the monarchy there.
