its god’s mix tape.

i assumed she wrote dumb shit because why else would she be getting hate. i looked at those pictures and she just pull-quoted bible verses that meant a lot to her. what is wrong with that? she put a fuck ton of work into it too.

Imagine the poor boyfriend. “I said I wanted strippers, not scriptures.”

There’s nothing better than being an educated woman and being mansplained to because you dare to have more than one interest (fashion, politics)! Can’t possibly be both, I guess! And the kicker? If a woman looks terrible, they’ll tell her to brush up on her fashion. Fuck these men.

“Teen Vogue” doing what mainstream media critics aren’t willing to, Especially by name, and to the perpetrator’s face.

Can we stop with this bullshit about ‘women in Europe drink alcohol when they are pregnant, it is no biggie’. The recommendation in Germany and the Netherlands is a very clear ‘do not drink alcohol’. A little alcohol may not harm your fetus but we do not know where the cut-off point is and it is unethical to test for…

I am really sick of all the bullshit claims that weed is a miracle cure with no side effects and no downside. Is it helpful for a lot of things? Yes. Is it perfectly safe and healthy? No. Are there a lot of unanswered questions because our drug war has crippled research? Yes. Is “answer unclear” the same as probably…

Screening is just asking, no blood or urine testing. I get screened for chemical use at every doc and dental appointment. How much and how often do you drink, do drugs? That is a screen.

Can we finally meet at the middle on weed use and health? Its not the worst thing in the universe, nor is it a wholly positive indulgence. Rather than fighting to “smoke weed every day”... Can we accept that it, like any other substance, should be consumed responsibly and in moderation? I’ve never met a person who…

It was a kind comment from a hairdresser who had observed some ‘iffy’ abusive behavior that that helped me listen to my own inner voice and get the heck out of my marriage.

I’m surprised by all the negativity - hair stylists were involved in the creation of this law, and support it. Also, there is no requirement to report, no requirement to act, no requirement to ask - it just gives training because hair stylists may well be on the front line of hearing about abuse. Women do not always…

They’re not being required to report though, which is good, or hopefully to intervene at all if they’re worried it would alienate the client. It sounds like it could set a stylist up to offer concrete suggestions in addition to an ear - in your example, more like “wow, I’m so sorry you’re going through that, I happen…

I have no idea if this will help or not, but I like the idea of more people knowing the signs of abuse and actually ACKNOWLEDGING it as being abuse.

So, cutting and braiding hair has strict licensing and training requirements, but we elected a 70 year old who was never even potty trained as President?

TRUTH. Babies are adorable. I don’t even mind if they are deeply unhappy babies crying because their tiny ears are popping. They are babies, and they are just doing their Baby Thang. Loud dudes, however, can eat a bag of unsalted dicks. Y’all hoes are obnoxious, and the worst.

Man tells woman what gender issues are worth addressing, claims to not be mansplaining.

1. Trying to gender a non-gendered trait/habit/thing is stupid. It’s not edgy, it’s not satirical, it’s just stupid.

This is either amazing unintentional irony, or hall of fame satire.

Thank you!! I mean it isn’t completely for selfless reasons, sharing has therapeutic value for me as well. Just oftentimes online I see people say oh my brother/friend/lover does x,y,z which is totally valid too!! I think it’s good for everyone to share in a respectful way but sometimes the firsthand stories seem…
