Walmart Protects Trans* Employees →
I’m totally, 100% OK with this. My questions are, will these transgender employees receive the same benefits as other, cisgender employees? Will they be paid an equal wage for equal work (which is something Walmart has problems with)? I’m glad that the largest hiring company in the States is making efforts to make peoples’ lives easier, but I still have some concerns over whether...
New Jersey Nurses Charge Religious Discrimination...
helvetebrann:
A dozen nurses in New Jersey have rekindled the contentious debate over when health-care workers can refuse to play a role in caring for women getting abortions.
In a lawsuit filed in federal court Oct. 31, 12 nurses charge that the University of Medicine & Dentistry of New Jersey violated state and federal laws by abruptly announcing in September that nurses would have...

‘Dilbert’ Creator Scott Adams Compares Women Asking for Equal Pay to Children Demanding Candy
stfusexists:
“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for...

My dog has this weird lump on his left hind leg…
This isn’t good, is it?
Yes, unfortunately. Dogs tend to have problems with this as they age, but these could also be filled with liquid. Pay attention to how hard it feels—if it’s soft, it’s probably in his skin. If it’s hard, it could be in his bones. If your dog has trouble walking or seems to be in pain, you...
Regret.
I shouldn’t have stayed up until 4:30 AM last night. I should have just finished all of my assignments for today during my five-day break. Ughghghghghghghgggh I’m so fucking tired and I think I might be getting sick with something. Fuck.
I have a question for my dear fellow Atheists.

Do you celebrate Christmas and put up a Christmas tree?
I do, because Christmas is a secular consumerist holiday, no matter how evangelicals and fundamentalists want to scream to the contrary.
Zing!
Anyway, we celebrate as well. It’s become a family tradition despite the fact that my dad, sister, and I are atheists and my mom isn’t that...

Things I have learned to do in college:
#1
Appeal to your professor’s interests. If your professor uses certain words that aren’t in the Oxford dictionary, use them. For instance: Whitestream - adj. Typical white, Anglo-Saxon, protestant culture and beliefs. “He thinks that sex should only be used for procreation. How whitestream of him.”

Alright third time now. My rough draft is done.
So I finally finished it and I would love some critique on it! I’m not too satisfied with the ending, but it’s due tomorrow, so I might have been a little more lenient with the writing aspect. Anyway, the concept I was trying to get across was this: That human beings created the gods. I tried to be rather subtle about it so it wouldn’t come across as ham fisted, but I’m not...
.....Wowwww.

(I work at a movie rental store. Sometimes we have deaf customers. I know some conversational ASL and can usually communicate with the deaf community just fine. A woman and her daughter walk up with a note and place it on the counter and point to it repeatedly.) Note: “We’re looking for two movies that came out last Tuesday.” Me: *in ASL* “Hello, yes, what movies?” Customer, to...
Post one of the 7 deadly sins in my ask box for:
seiji-chan:
Lust: Something that I find attractive. Pride: Something that I like about myself. Sloth: Something that I dislike about myself. Envy: Something I wish I was better at. Gluttony: One of my favorite foods. Wrath: Something that gets me angry. Greed: Something I can’t get enough of.
WELL THE INTERNET HAS BEEN DULL ALL DAY SO OKAY THEN but I bet if anyone asks me my mind will go...
SO.
I just shoved an overused meme into a project for my writing class.
Am I a badass or what guys?
I also really hope the instructor finds it. That would make my whole life.
