WWF has a new paramilitary force that shoots and tortures poachers and I want to have sex with it 'The Jungle Brigade' is officially the title of my newest fantasy.

It’s true: only men pay tax Men – all men – support women – all women – whether they like it or not.

These technologies will end racism in our lifetime And there's nothing you can do about it.
Racism has plagued humanity forever, or at least since we came across neanderthals in some god-awful primeval forest 60,000 years ago and promptly wiped them out for looking different. It maims, it hurts, it kills. And when the YouTube comment …

Based on emoji use alone, the dainty peach was, heretofore, the fruit most closely aligned with the female anatomy. But a writer for Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter contends that it’s actually the pineapple that is the world’s most female fruit. …
On travel safety and white privilege (and why they’re basically the same thing) Feeling safe is a privilege granted to me because I’m white, middle class, non-disabled and straight.
