I have frequently heard Christians argue that Christianity is true because atheism “lacks the moral language to explain why [x] is wrong.”

While that statement is simply false on multiple levels, I can’t help but notice that the Christian majority in Florida cannot seem to handle one of the simplest possible moral questions: “Is slavery a bad thing?”

I appreciate the friends I've made during my transition.

I'm having a conversation with one about how I never really got to play with girls' toys as a kid. And deep down, I always wanted a Barbie. And she didn't even bat an eye. She just goes "yeah that makes perfect sense. I played with Barbie and Polly Pocket and all that stuff as a kid. It was fun. We should get you some."

And now we're swapping screencaps back and forth of the ones we each want.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna have a playdate now.

I thought being trans and being honest with others about who I am would be terrifying. But I guess it doesn't have to be.

@AlliFlowers Gosar's WHOLE family hates him & wants him voted out. I can't blame them

Well will ya lookie here at what they did in a small town? They closed the ob/gyn unit at the Henry Co. TN Medical Center.

The Governor offers no solution. Because Republicans don't know how to solve problems, after all, their core belief is that government SHOULDN'T solve problems. That's for the "free hand of the market."

Welp, that free hand just gave women in Henry County the finger.

"Hey, can you switch instances? Your admin favorited a joke that I didn't appreciate once. Might need to block you otherwise. Oh, and that crowdfunding platform you use? Back in 2006 they let an organization I don't personally align with use their platform. You should abandon that. Also, -"

Shhhh. Let people enjoy things. I am all for being socially conscious but we can't boycott everything. We are so tired. Please go outside.

So much this.
