…And that making shit up is not a valid answer.

“ Just as young people need scientifically accurate sex education to keep them safe, so we need accurate relationship education to keep us sane. In order to move forward constructively, we need a multiplicity of relationship models to inspire and reassure us. We need trans couples on TV, we need non-monogamy champions, we need people married 40-plus years like my parents, and we need Stevie Nicks who, at 62, is purposefully single so that she can “always be free”.

“ There are huge efforts that do go into making people, to borrow Adam Smith’s phrase, “as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human being to be.” A lot of the educational system is designed for that, if you think about it, it’s designed for obedience and passivity. From childhood, a lot of it is designed to prevent people from being independent and creative. If you’re independent-minded in school, you’re probably going to get into trouble very early on.

Religious Ragings: "The problem of hell can be stated a la Epicurus.

lunaradvent:

1. If I (atheist) deny Jesus yet don’t go to hell, then Jesus is a liar.
2. If Jesus is honest and you (progressive Xian) don’t think that I deserve hell, then Jesus is unjust.
3. If Jesus is both honest and just, then you believe that I deserve to spend eternity in hell.”

“ Sometimes, loving your body is not an option. Sometimes, the best we can do is accept our bodies as the changeable, beautiful, frustrating vessels they are. That’s OK. Expecting yourself to have a full-on love affair with your body at all times is asking too much. Bodies are occasionally annoying. What we can do is know them, and decide for ourselves when they feel good, and when they feel less good, and what we might do to make them feel better again. Even if we can’t love our bodies, we can make sure we don’t hate them. Lesley Kinzel (via sugaryumyum)

“ There’s an old saying that I’m a big fan of: Never try to teach a pig to sing — it wastes your time and annoys the pig. I think of this every time I get the urge to lash out at Fox News for some irresponsible, grossly unethical thing or other that the network has done or has had the gall to broadcast under the guise of being a real news organization. My criticism, like everyone else’s, won’t matter one bit — the attack will just bounce off of Roger Ailes’s prodigious belly like he was Kung-Fu Panda. Not only does Fox News not fret over its many detractors and their grievances, it generally welcomes the outrage as an opportunity to once again let its pit-bullish media relations department off the chain to maul the crap out of the poor bastard with the bad sense to hassle its master… It’s with all of this in mind that I sit here wallowing waist deep in what I know is the futility of saying a damn thing about Fox News’s latest nakedly obvious and indefensibly biased attack on Barack Obama. If you haven’t seen what I’m talking about yet — the four-minute video clip that Doocy the Clown and the rest of the crew of local news rejects on Fox & Friends aired earlier this week, benignly calling it a “look back” at the last three years of the Obama presidency — then I’m not going to go into detail for you. Suffice it to say that you really do need to see it with your own eyes to both believe it and — eventually, after it sinks in that you really are watching what you think you are — appreciate the sheer scope of its horribleness. It’s not news. It’s not even news by the very flexible standards of Fox News. At the risk of violating Godwin’s Law, it’s 1939-style propaganda and nothing more — not a thing more — and it quite frankly stands as Fox News’s darkest hour. It’s honestly so freaking shameless that even I wasn’t sure Fox was capable of creating and disseminating something like it, despite the fact that anyone as cynical as I am should’ve understood fully that it merely represents the Fox model taken to its logical conclusion.

Tell Police to Take Hate Crime Seriously!

foreverliberal:

A gay Hispanic man, Felix Bermea, his partner and his family (which includes a disabled daughter) have been targeted with hate crimes over the past 10 weeks. This is not happening anywhere else in their neighborhood.

It began with offensive graffiti on cars and the street outside their home, then their bushes were set on fire, then someone banged on doors — including the window of their disabled daughter — and the house was broken into with profanity left written on many of the rooms. The attacks are seeming to get worse.

After all of this time however, a detective was only assigned to them within the last week. The family is taking extra measures to try to safe safe, but they shouldn’t have to do that — they shouldn’t be in danger because of who they are. 

Please tell the Gilbert Police Department to take this more seriously. This could lead to something dangerous, or potentially fatal, and should be a priority!
