Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

The way people often pronounce it, you could also think they were talking about the DNC. Although I have a difficult time imagining a conversation where that sort of confusion would make sense...

Just like I think people should be afforded the courtesy of being called by the name they think best represents them, trans* people should be addressed using the pronouns they personally identify with best. And if someone is, for whatever reason, totally opposed to using preferred pronouns, there a...

The WoW specifically says that "hot drinks are not for the body or belly" (D&C 89:9), which is generally interpreted as a prohibition of coffee and tea. Since products like coffee ice-cream are neither hot nor drinks, does that make them okay for consumption? If not, does the statement...
