Men: Why do feminists vilify the idea of SAHMs? Also Men: When you are a SAHM you should never interact with anyone anymore but your man and your family. Dudes, you do all the vilifying on your own, all feminists do is showing up your agenda.

Noteworthy to point out the newspaper talks about migrants, tacitly admitting that ICE is not targeting "illegal" migrants but any migrants - i.e. anyone that doesn't match their idea of White America:

Never thought of Shape of Water as a Universal Monster Remake, but it is, if you think about it, isn't it.

"RILEY GAINES JUST CARES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS!" oh right is that why she hangs out with the rapist president?

Never ever get hitched to man that refers to women as "whores", directly or indirectly, if only because they will invariably turn on you eventually.

Hey. If you don't want people to say you're the Gestapo, stop acting like the Gestapo. Using teargas on children automatically makes you an evil henchman, understand?

Is anyone really that shocked to learn that NRA members didn’t really believe that “stand up to tyranny” stuff? And that the organization mainly exists to taunt victimized families and communities after mass shootings?

“Huerta is the something more of these immigration raids — not because he’s a union boss, but because he’s a union organizer with ties to both people in power and people in fear. The coming months will show what happens when those two groups decide, together, that backing down is not an option.”

Makes sense that they used that brand in Cobra.

Still reading "The Ripple Effect: Gender and Race in Brazilian Culture and Literature" by Maria José Somerlate Barbosa (I'm close to the finish line) And it's amazing how I missed how much the view of women (and men) overlap between Incel culture and machismo.

Women initiate divorce more than men as unmarried women thrive more than married peers. Men find it difficult to leave marriages bc they - feel tied to their children - fear loss of stability - are conditioned to suppress emotions - lack support systems www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/soci...

"Why did you make Halo political?" Has to be most insane question I saw today. Boy, you are talking about a Rambo character in space...

Literary Sin #183 In Edgar Allen Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart, the narrator continues hearing the beating of the old man’s heart even after killing him. Not only is this inaccurate in regards to human anatomy but the mistake also leads directly to the ending of the book! Better luck next time Edgar!

In 1912, a Black man was lynched before thousands—then shot full of bullets. Days later, two Black teens were hanged. Forsyth County forced out every Black resident. They erased the truth. 📖 ERASED tells the truth they tried to bury. Read it. Share it. Never forget: stan.store/gxldsociety/...

I believe immigration laws should be enforced with compassion, and not blind adherence to the written word, but least of all with complete disregard of the rule of law by a bunch of racially profiling goons that may, for all one can know, run a trafficking operation on the side.

The layman in me sees "gooner" and wonders if it is etymologically related to "Goonies".

I hated Lilo & Stitch 2025. Legit, I think it's evil. egreg.io/lilo-stitch-... I couldn't even get the energy to criticize it on a filmmaking level. The adaptation choices are as bad as folks are saying. It's not a good movie, either.

LOS ANGELES STRONG. I stand with anyone protesting the ICE raids that took place. Horrific.

Survivors of domestic abuse often struggle to leave their abusers if they are forced to abandon their pets. Now, in the latest attack on domestic violence services, Republicans are hoping to eliminate a program that helps shelters support survivors' pets.
