I think come March I will have a no-read policy for all news sites.
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.
'War Stories'
Natter 69: Practically names itself.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I like the all-male contraception hearing because it is so OBVIOUSLY fucked up.
That's an awesome lack of self-awareness.

Because books.
That's an awesome lack of self-awareness.
I disagree. I think it's purposeful arrogance.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's definitely deliberate: [link]

I stand corrected. And plunged into a combination of anger and depression.

Thrive to spite them
It is deliberate. They keep trying to frame this as a religious issue and that it's not about women. Just like when Santorum back pedaled on his comments that Griswold v Connecticut was a bad decision. He tried to claim it wasn't about birth control, it was about states rights.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have outrage fatigue.
Good grief, me too. I was getting the outrage back until the current ultrasound-dildo-rape and men-know-best outrages, and now I'm exhausted again.
I had the transvaginal ultrasound before I got my Mirena, and it made me cry. I can't deal with how terrible it would be for someone whose experience was worse than mine. And how those horrible people just don't care. Or else they want it to make a woman feel awful because how dare she?!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thank you Andy Borowitz:

I can only hope this backfires on them. I want to weep for my country if it doesn't.
