Here’s the thing though, and I say this as a trans person: if someone intentionally and repeatedly uses “they” when referring to me, when they know that my pronouns are “she/her”, it still has the same smack of misgendering. I’ve put years of my life, huge amounts of money, and buckets of blood, sweat, and tears into…

This is played off as a funny joke, but there is science behind this. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend reading Come As You Are by Dr. Emily Nagoski. It’s the best book on female sexuality I’ve ever read, and the female sexual response cycle is very interesting.

I have to second your comment. And the article and the book both addressed it, but then COMPLETELY blew it off! It addressed that women’s desires seemed to start tanking after the 1960s, but then completely dropped that this was the beginning of hormonal birth control.

*And falsified documents of consent AFTERWARDS. They should both permanently lose their licenses.

“The Supreme Court”

An ICE Agent named Jesus Mesa shot a Mexican kid for throwing rocks at him?! Self-hatred is real but the ‘cult of police’ personalities is too!

I suffered that side effect when I took SSRIs. Not only did the meds not help, but not being able to get off was just one more thing to be depressed about. When I brought my concern to my shrink, she asked in a stern voice “Is that really a problem for you?”

So much this. Coupled with so many bad sexual experiences, like where I felt pressured to do something that felt good for him but did nothing for me.

...okay, lets be clear on Khalissa’s scenes.

Really, every punch? In the first game she gets punched for questioning whether the council has humanity’s interests in mind, and whether he has anything to say about being given command of an advanced human warship. In the second game she questions his decision to use the Destiny Ascension to save the council at the…

And not only that, but the women’s soccer team brought in over $1.5M more in revenue than the men’s soccer team over the last few years. So maybe the men should be taking a pay cut if it’s just about revenue?

This is a strange argument because the USMNT doesn’t win against those international teams either.

Also to say the film is just “class bad ooga booga” is to miss nearly everything that is said about why’s and how’s. It doesn’t tell you to feel bad for being rich, but if you are rich and the movie makes you feel bad, you should really examine why that is exactly.

Mm, that’s definitely true too. I just came off a year where I isolated myself pretty heavily due to depression, and I’m glad my friends in the neighborhood don’t seem to feel resentful at how much I stepped back from my usual social routine. What’s stopping you from reaching out if that’s something you’d like to do?

Wait, rosebud was a sled? Spoilers, dude!

If reading reviews and watching summaries were the same as actually watching a film, then movie theaters wouldn’t exist.

In Seattle, on the first Tuesday in August, there is a campaign called Neighborhood Night Out, and it’s the one day a year you can close your street to traffic without paying for a special permit. I think it was started by the police department to encourage people to get to know their neighbors and exchange emergency…

I have really awesome neighbors where I live right now, and it’s a blessing. They’re all my parents’ age (it’s a condo building so mostly older tenants), and it’s like having a bunch of aunts and uncles around that I can call if I need anything. One of them even lets me “borrow” his dog occasionally when I need a…

I live in a community where all the neighbors know each other. We’ve got a tiny microcosm of small-town life in the middle of a city. The neighbor’s kids have come over to my house in an emergency (and also sometimes they show up wanting to play with my dog). When cops are on the street, the white neighbors are…

Gosh, how rude of us to use her for our own conversation fodder, like she’s a common appliance or houseplant. Perhaps we should do Gwynnie a kindness and outright ignore her for a while. Obviously, she would prefer to launch tv shows, release books, and set up wellness conventions in complete obscurity.  Poor thing.
