Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

To be clear, folks who grew up in nature definitely get on a mystical nature kick but it sounds totally different. A forest isn't a place they associate with peaceful serenity, it is a place where life and death weave an invisible dance connecting everything past and present; powerful but dangerous.
You can always tell when folks who didn't grow up in nature are getting into a mystical nature kick because they talk about forests like they're these serene, perfect, peaceful places. No friend, nature is scary and tense as fuck and you're looking at a place where things live and die BY THE MINUTE.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

"Why do you just attack democrats? Why don't you ever go after republicans?"

Same reason I think it's necessary to warn people off an inexplicably popular restaurant that keeps giving everyone food poisoning but don't see the need to warn people off of eating directly out of an open sewer.

remember that old episode of Twilight Zone where the couple are told that if they press this button they'll get $200k but a stranger will die?

well the senate democratic caucus is mashing that button over & over just to avoid the possibility that their holiday season flights might get delayed
Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Following Project B's announced signing of Nneka Ogwumike questions were raised regarding funding.

While Project B denies it is backed in any way by Saudi Arabia, there is a connection: Sela, a subsidiary of the Saudi PIF, is a league event partner.

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.

I wish that we wouldn’t reduce sportswashing to Saudi Arabia. It is orientalizing and islamophobic to construct Muslim/Saudi women as perpetually oppressed.

I’m down to expand this definition to include the LV Aces sponsorship by Ring, which just made it easier for ICE to obtain camera footage. 🤷🏽‍♀️

ok but i’m reasonable and can also call her a goofy ass racist transphobe who had an unremarkable career so chose to be remembered as a bigot
"Reasonable people can disagree on this topic, but there’s no need to go to bullying or name calling because it doesn’t set a good example for anyone," Elizabeth Eddy says on Fox News this morning, after a week of inciting targeted transphobic and racist attacks on fellow NWSL players.
