– How to Write about the Middle East is such a brilliant, hilarious read that it passes off as a good, fine beating-of-the-ass for “opinion makers” like Thomas Friedman and Co. This part is even better:
In your text, treat the Middle East as if it were one country, and constantly refer to it as...

I think that the meat industry is excessively cruel and bad for the environment. I also think that about every other industry. I don’t boycott the products of these industries because it’s ineffective as a tactic, diverts attention from the true cause of hunger and institutionalized cruelty, and it encourages bourgeois liberal ‘consumer’ politics. The nature...

says the person who will never have to get pregnant but is still enjoying sex with people who can get pregnant.
You do not get to dictate what happens to other people’s uteri, whether or not you have one of your own. Pregnancy is not a punishment for having sex. 240 million people have sex every day. How many of those encounters do you think are for baby-making? You can’t shame...

Damn near every white man that has ever expressed interest in me has been guilty of this fetishizing shit.
thegoddamazon:
“I like the contrast of skin tone. It’s so taboo and sexy, and you’re really dark, so it’s especially obvious. It’s so hot.”
No, white man. Before I realized how disgusting fetishizing was, I might have brushed this off but here’s what that statement...

“… anti-depressants interfere with the brain’s natural self-regulation of serotonin and other neurotransmitters, and the brain can overcorrect once medication is suspended, triggering new depression.”
