I'll never forget the time someone told my 8yo son that donating bone marrow for his sister was badass, and he was like 😨 so I explained to him that even though "bad" and "ass" are mean things to call someone, "badass" is actually a compliment.
You can kill schoolchildren, you can kill whistleblowers, you can kill random homeless people, but god forbid you kill a CEO. Things gotta change, we can't do this anymore.
I am so confused about this.. I have gotten so many rape and death threats on this website, and even went to the police about particularly serious ones years ago, and they said there was nothing they could do about threats. Are threats only illegal if they’re at corporations?

After a tragic miscarriage I had to have a D&C.
My doctors didn’t even consider denying me care.
I didn’t have to wait.
They did what was necessary.
Amber Thurman needed a D&C too.
But she was in post-Dobbs Georgia.
Where they denied her care.
For 20 hours.
Until it was too late.
And now she is dead.
Her 6 year old little boy left motherless.
How the actual fuck can Republicans call themselves “pro-life”?
They are anything but.

Saying women are given "priesthood power" in the temple while simultaneously not allowing women any functional use of that power within the church...is like when my brother would hand me a Nintendo controller that was not plugged in while he played.
