The children who get measles because their parents are selfish idiots do not deserve this. This is why mandating vaccines is important.
When your child asks why they are suffering, why they have gone deaf, blind or died because you let them get the measles---I hope you know it is your fault.

Latest on South Carolina measles outbreak: "Of the 111 measles cases recorded in that area...105 involved people who were unvaccinated while three involved those who were partially vaccinated...At least 254 people had been placed in quarantine as of Tuesday"
Hundreds quarantined as South Carolina measles outbreak accelerates
A state epidemiologist said the spike in cases came in the wake of Thanksgiving travel and a lack of vaccinations. At least 16 cases were traced to a church.

this joke plagues transphobes because it’s an incredibly cutting take on what the modern transphobic panic is, a hysterical panic based off of a lie that transness is fake and that there is an intentional effort from the right to prop up this wedge to destroy all LGBTQ rights

Several times in my life, I mocked someone in my insensitive youth for some affliction, only to later suffer from the same affliction myself. The lesson I have taken away from this is that I should start mocking people for having enviably pleasant lives.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

rolled the dice at the recycling centre on a set of mahjong tiles in a Glad ziplock for $5
very surprised that it turned out to be a full set with no missing tiles, and even includes “100-uses” jokers and two alternate types of white dragon

Infantilizing women until they’re no longer responsible for their choices is also sexist.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
