Several frustrating things about the video:
- that Mark Field, instead of standing up and asking her (nicely or not nicely, but you know, asking) watches the protester come down the aisle and literally pounces on her, pinning her by the neck.
- that he continues to shove her out (BY THE FUCKING NECK!) despite no need to be so forceful
- the other people who start clapping. Like, what the actual fuck are they on, exactly?
And if he did say ‘people like you’, he can go fuck himself. He literally works for people like her, he’s an MP. Dickbag.

This just proves that we need to make child-rearing a mutual and equal thing, enshrined in laws that force men to take an equal amount of time off of work.
This Japanese medical university rigged male students’ test scores because:
“Tokyo Medical University...officials believed that once women got married and had children they would be unable to fulfill their emergency shifts at hospitals. One anonymous official of the school described it as “a necessary evil.””
...Until employers understand that ALL people of baby-making age are going to take the same amount of time off to look after their children, women’s careers are going to continue to stagnate and lose earning power in their lives just because they made the (usually MUTUAL) decision to create a family!
Untangling the whole sorry mess of the patriarchy is fucking exhausting.

Alabama has become the first US state to pass legislation that bans all abortions, making it a crime to carry out the procedure at any stage of pregnancy unless a mother’s health is at risk.
The state’s Republican-controlled Senate approved the country’s strictest abortion bill to date, making abortion a crime punishable by between 10 and 99 years in prison.
The Senate also defeated an amendment that would have allowed legal abortions for women and girls impregnated by rape and incest.

Can you imagine having such little empathy with a woman who has had something as horrific happen to her as rape, that you insist she still have to bring any resulting pregnancy into the world? And even not care if that rape is committed by a family member?
Farmers don’t equate the life of the calf with the life of the mother cow, as we found out during Ireland’s fight to repeal the eighth. It’s utterly astonishing that there are people who want to put the ‘rights’ of a group of forming cells on the same level as the rights of an actual, adult woman. Or child, given that there are teenagers and younger in the US who’ve been forced to have unwanted babies when the poor things are only barely older than babies themselves.
And then after the astonishment wanes, it is purely heartbreaking, because the same people who insist a woman must carry a pregnancy to term do next to nothing to ensure the baby and the mother then can live a reasonable life after. Absolute fucking heartlessness.

Okay, we need to talk about Ben Shapiro (sadly). Well, not so much him, as the fact that hard right pundits and opinion machines love to spout said opinions nice and loudly on any platform available, but when challenged they claim “antagonism”.
“Mistook his antagonism for political leftism”. For feck’s sake. No, I believe you mistook a legitimate line of questioning for “antagonism” and then threw your toys out of the pram because how *dare* someone ask you about the shitty, racist things you’ve said!? 🤔

My friends would ask how I’d been able to get rid of so much stuff, and the question always confused me. I literally didn’t use 56 percent of what I had once owned. Why would it be hard to get rid of it? But the stuff that remained for the ideal version of myself was different. I could now see what it was, and once you see the truth you can’t unsee it. I had to accept that the fact that I was never going to be the type of person who read, wore, and did these things. But that still doesn’t mean it was easy to let go of. I started with the books and asked myself a question I’d never considered the answer to before: Who are you buying this for: the person you are, or the person you want to be? This should’ve been the question I’d asked before buying each and every one of them. This should’ve been the question I’d asked before buying anything.
Cait Flanders, The Year of Less (via lmchats)
Am currently reading The Year of Less by Cait Flanders and this paragraph got me in the guts. There are a lot of things I think I should do or like or be because ‘ideal’ me likes, does, is those things. And sometimes it’s hard to separate that ‘ideal’/’perfect’ (read: boring and unattainable) self from my natural curiosity about the world and everything in it. Because I have a lot of curiosity and the good luck in being able to quickly pick up a certain level of skill for most things I try. Which then leads to the issue of not ever going deeply into one skill at all and always being a jack of all trades/master of none.
The full saying is ‘Jack of all trades, master of none, oftentimes better than master of one’, so in theory I should be happy with this ability to pick up and put down as my curiosity wants...buuut I would really, genuinely, love to be very good at a few things rather than sort of decent at a lot of it.
But back to the quote: I know this will pop up in my head now when I go to buy new books or watch a film or buy clothes (especially buying clothes!). Do I love it? Am I really into it? Am I genuinely curious? Or do I think I ‘should’ read or know or buy that thing out of some misguided attempt to be ‘better’ than others?

Fuck these awful people. What pit of hellfire did all these far-right pieces of shit crawl from?
“...refusing to agree to any UN documents that refer to sexual or reproductive health...”
What era are we in, again? What decade? What year? Is it not 2019? The international community is literally having its hands bound over the issue of how to prevent rape as a weapon of war...because we also want to help families with their sexual and reproductive health. How stupid do you have to be, to not understand that you can’t separate reproductive health from a woman’s life???
No, instead let’s stop the international community doing some good by educating and giving access to better healthcare (which includes for her reproductive organs), simply because you despise a woman’s right to terminate an unwanted pregnancy so much.
I fucking hate this system that is so subject to the whims of uneducated, heartless, thoroughly inhumane people.

I appreciate how hard the french fire chief is dumping on Trump’s “advice” on how to have put out the notre dame fire because a) fuck trump and b) experts are expert because they spent many hours, days and years studying, doing, and being the things they are expert in. I’m so fucking sick of people decrying “experts” as a bad thing.
The only shitty experts there are, are the ones skilled in the dark arts of lying, obfuscating and pretence...like, I don’t know, Kelly Anne Conway and pretty much all of Trump’s inner circle.

So today my husband asked me where his keys were (in that voice that insinuates that you, in fact, have had and moved his keys and that is why he can’t now find them). Turns out they were in his running shorts, because he had taken them out with him and forgotten about it. And for some reason it got me thinking of that cutesy saying that “nothing’s lost until mum can’t find it.” And even though I did indeed grow up in a house where nothing was truly lost until my mum couldn’t find it, I realised now, at the ripe old age of 33, that it wasn’t that mum has supernatural powers of finding things (as you thought when you were like, 15) but that mum is meant to keep tabs on and know where *everybody’s shit is at all times*. So I resolved to have a house where if *you* don’t know where it is, it is indeed lost. And let that be how you learn to be responsible for your own shit earlier than i did.

I have to say, outrage clickbait articles like this drive me to distraction, but oh fuck it - I’ll bite. It frustrates me no end that America has basically become so fine with waiters and bar staff being paid next to nothing that the customer gets to pay twice for what should be covered in the bill itself (i.e. a decent living wage for the staff). It’s shit for the staff, and it’s shit for the customer, but no, no...the managers thriving off this bullshit get to keep those profits and continue un-bothered, because let’s all focus on the real bad guys in this situation: the people who think tips should be discretionary for good service!
Absolutely fuck off. I completely get what people are saying, in that, you can’t change the culture overnight, so be generous to the staff who are caught in the middle in the mean time. But you know what I would love to see? If you have to write snarky shite like this for the customer (who is also getting ‘stiffed’), then you could also do some LOUD campaigning against poor wage conditions for workers.
Except Alan Sytsma hasn’t written anything like that in the last 2 years for Grub Street, as far as his author archive shows. But don’t worry, Alan’s totes got you when it comes to reviewing a pre-batched martini, folks.
Also, I worked in restaurants and bars for a lot of my teenage years/early 20s but the difference was I lived in a country that ensured I made a proper [minimum] wage and therefore a tip got to be what it was intended to be: a little extra ‘thank you’ for having kept someone happy during their meal.
America, get your shit together.
