Trans people are also a historically oppressed and marginalized group, so much so that history has hidden a lot of them. That oppression has also been rooted in misogyny. So any attempt to uproot misogyny which ignores this fact is doomed to fail.

Only their narrow definition of woman. And as an old cishet woman myself, I say the only thing radical about them is the amount of conservatism they’re channelling. There’s nothing feminist about that.

I thought about it but “land sea cows” sounded stupid. And they already have legs, of a sort. I guess you’re right though, “land manatees” it is.

Poor things are endangered, they’d become a lot more numerous if they were raised for food, but their lives would be worse.

Those internet people are lying. It’s the Internet, after all.

It’s better for you to try to be a whole person, who has some social time and gets some exercise and maybe cleans up their living space once in awhile.

How about, “For $500 I’ll perform the exam, and for an extra $1000 I’ll guarantee she passes. Because clearly this is all transactional to you, there’s no need to bring truth into it.”

Only one of these things is beneficial for the patient.

So it’s a lose-lose scenario for her, since she’s had no choice of the man and he’s the kind who insists on the test.

You might as well keep going, because it’ll probably be the 200 million worst and most useless people left. Survival of the cruelest seems to be a rule in this world.

I’m not up for hanging wet sheets and towels throughout my condo, much less clothes. And my HOA would fine me exorbitantly if I hung laundry on my balcony. I’m seriously glad there are washers and dryers in the basement and that, after constant issues with frontloading washers, we went back to toploaders.

Newer ones have way too many digital buttons and a loud repeating beep when finished. Even newer ones, probably Bluetooth or something

Ugh. If you have even a little space on your desk you could get a “5-cup” (that’s about 2 mugs) drip coffee machine and some unbleached paper filters for about $25. You could still make that refreshing stroll in the direction of the big machine, but with your fresh hot mugful already in your hand.

Battle of Pueblo

Celebrated more in the US than in Mexico

Sizewise, more like land dolphins.

Your neighbor, sure. A cute innocent animal! Not killing it unless it’s delicious.

Thank you!

If the agents killed the sailors, scuttled the ship and committed suicide, does N. Korea get credit for the kills?

Glad you’re keeping tabs on it.

Maybe I’m just a busybody and you’re fine, but get a blood test for low iron if you haven’t lately.

The search term you want is “pulsatile tinnitus.” Many people hear it when our heart is pounding, in my case it was one of several symptoms that led to realizing I was very anemic. It can have serious causes like high blood pressure or a tumor, or more minor ones like sinus congestion or even just an individual difference of your inner ear. An otolaryngologist (ENT or Ear-Nose-Throat doctor) can help determine if there’s anything to treat or worry about. But nobody is going to look for it unless you bring it up.

While I’m in favor of the concept, I want to garrotte the idiots who came up with and disseminated that stupid term. It should be called “Sightlining” because it increases everyone’s line of sight, to help prevent vehicles from killing pedestrians and cyclists, and cyclists from injuring pedestrians as well. Or you could say it establishes a Visibility Zone. I failed to find an etymology or original source but if someone does, let me know.

Embrace the joy, Goddess.
