RaveI'm on a roll
I posted a couple of weeks ago about feeling I don't have much of value to say. Well, I'm pushing past the discomfort and doing it anyway.
Yesterday, I drove home how crucial abortion rights are to most women and that it is not just a "tiny, niche issue" to a male acquaintance who just doesn't see the big deal. He also did not believe me when I said there are 6 week bans in place in many of the US states and I brought receipts. He was quite uncomfortable by the end of the conversation and didn't have much to say.
I also wrote scathing feedback to Amnesty yesterday about their little "identifying as girls" Afghanistan comment.
Today, I took some pro-porn cool girl handmaidens to task to prove that no, im not a religious prude objecting to porn out of moral delicateness, I'm and atheist and I object to the awful ethical and patriarchal abuse of the whole thing, reassuring the original question asker that having a "no-porn" standard for dating is absolutely valid and, I think, self-respecting (and respecting other women as well). We don't have to cater to men's boners. Women (both the women exploited and the partners hurt by their man's consumption of porn) can and should matter more than that (shocker, I know).
I better cool it before I tell my ex off too.
That poor mother and daughter. I can’t believe this happened less than an hour from my hometown and I never even heard about it. My heart breaks for their family and friends. I hope their killer is in an unmarked grave far away from wherever they’re buried.
Whoever was responsible for his burial arrangements should have cremated him then flush him down the toilet.
As destructive as the male obsession with sex can be, I think their obsession with pride may be even worse, and the cause of more violence.
how 3 people need an 11 bedroom home is beyond me. There were so many points in time they could have lived more modestly, but he'd rather do this unspeakable act of familicide.
I know a couple who are currently living in a 6 bedroom rented mansion even though they use only one of the bedrooms. Meanwhile their 20yo son has to work in construction during the summer so he can pay for his groceries and uni during the year (this is in Europe, so it's not that expensive) because they "can't afford it"
yeah, affordance is a crazy concept. It's really a lot about the person's priorities.

Yes, I agree. Some of the most miserable people I've known have been incredibly wealthy. I believe more and more in 'moderation in all things,' including money.
That said, I too have found that name brand cream cheese is much better than the generic!
I recently discovered that the name brand cream cheese is better too! What is it I wonder? Are they using different cultures?
Ooh, have you ever made your own? I don't have the energy to do it often, but it's gorgeous, and it's nice to have control over fat content and additives. Here's a recipe if you're interested.
The best thing about wealth is not having to worry about money, and successful people who overspend baffle me.
Reading the comments of that article and it's post after post about people living above their means and you have to scroll down pretty fast before anyone talks about the annihilation part, and even then to just feel bad for the daughter.
Men have a very strange cognitive blindness to the violence of other men. They've brainwashed themselves into not even thinking about it and not seeing it as a male problem. I think this actually scares me more.
