For real. Girl, they are *not* going to vote for you if they hate us. But we will, if you protect us.

which isn't an imposition if you want me to care about you too. If you think you can't do it, that's a *flaw in you*, not in *women*.

it's just flat out not difficult to get meaningful and intimate relationships if you're willing to be at all worthy of them.

But, within sex-positive, consent-based, risk-aware kink culture, I've still met men (completely cis, het, and like, into sports and shit) who fit the bill handily, because they took the time to *care*.

I am a pansexual woman. But I am pretty scared of cis straight men because many of them don't know how to negotiate, how to ask for consent, how to stay *within* boundaries, how to manage their own expectations and feelings, and don't seem to care very much about mine.

Honestly super fair @.@ It's mostly a favorite of mine because if you spend even *a little* time with GI issues and then you know how precious a functioning GI

this, for real. My pastor told me at 15 that I would make a great priest and that I should consider catechism.

But I'm pretty sure I already knew by then just from reading the text that prosperity doctrine was an anti-Christian concept; that Jesus was an intersectional multiculturalist socialist.

At this point I am agnostic, but of all the Gods I don't believe in, I don't believe in the modern western Christian one the *most*. If I turn out to be wrong, I'll go to hell, and I'll consider it self-sacrifice for the worthy cause of being kind.

Finally, I find the more modern Jewish approach that one's relationship with God is one's own, that what matters is the good you *do*. Tikkun Olam. That speaks to me. God can pass judgement when I'm dead. While I live, I'm going to try to live a life that leaves others better off for it.

If Heaven's the way they teach, then everyone trying to get in is complicit in its iniquity. That scale and circumstance doesn't matter is *wrong*.

Second, that if they're right, then God is a tyrant building Heaven through suffering, and *good* folk should *walk away from Omelas*.

with corn cream I'm guessing

(note, I don't want literally anyone who sees this to in any way misconstrue this as an excuse for being shitty to Cody, Katie, or anyone else involved, except maybe Warmbo)

My wife is the granddaughter of a holocaust survivor, and seeing the clip gives her an instinctive fight or flight response.

Again, good work, and this isn't a criticism of you or of your approach to comedy, just pointing out a difficulty with what may be a missing piece of your experience. I believe I remember that you have a Jewish writer, but not everyone responds the same way.

It's important, and mentioning it is important, but the visual coming out of nowhere also makes it really hard for us to get through these sections and focus on what you're saying through the panic of generational trauma, and we really want to hear what you have to say.

Hey so my family loves the showdy and we watch every episode and will continue to do so, and this ep is *great*, and we understand why you do this but...

Could you maybe not show the elon salute clip 3-10 times every video on today's politics?

So yeah. Please. If you care at all about the functioning of law, *be more scared of this shit, because it turns out law doesn't matter when the enforcers don't care.*

It is disingenuous and really naive to pretend that just because they're not *meant* to count as law, that we can pretend that he isn't functionally *legislating from the desk anyway*.

People are getting hurt, right now. It's going to keep getting worse. The system is *not functioning*.

The EOs saying that trans people are liars and there're only two genders and they're defined at birth are scientifically wrong, show discriminatory animus, and violate case law. And yet, HHS has a proposed rule using those contested EOs as justification to take away HRT from trans *adults*.
