AB701 doesn’t actually change how a crime is charged, it just allows victims to call it rape. For example, inserting an object (other than a penis) into a body is still technically “sexual penetration with a foreign object.” But this law allows a victim to say “I was raped.” It’s a declarative law meant to support…

Until this week, the state of California.

This article says three years.

That’s amazing! Sometimes old people racism make me angry, sometimes it makes me laugh. That’s definitely one of the funnier ones.

I guess they’re catering to people like my mom’s friend, who yelled at her after finding out she showed his daughter the new Annie. People are fucking terrible, you just don’t notice it as much because you probably are smart enough to not hang out with racist people.

I have one Himalayan, and she is a bitch to groom. I can’t imagine having 12! You’d spend half your life brushing. And vacuuming.

I know! My sister has 9 cats, and they run all around in different directions during dinner, trying to take each other’s bowls.

That’s scary. As a side note, never let anyone other than a medical doctor give you a shot in your buttocks. They let techs do it in my doctor’s office, and I refuse to let them because people who don’t know what they’re doing can hit the sciatic nerve.

Right, I know where it is (I live in that circuit). I mean that they aren’t uneducated...circuit court judges are the cream of the crop. Even if they are southern.

My jaw literally dropped when I read this headline. This isn’t some redneck judge that decided this; it’s the 11th circuit court of appeals. Hair is an immutable characteristic. People shouldn’t have to do something unnatural to their hair (i.e. straighten it) in order to get a job. Bullshit.

It actually was a fun class if you were able to ignore the asshole at the front of the room. The technique is actually pretty easy to learn, especially if you (like all of us in the class) have been playing in ensembles your whole life. There is an artistry to it though that perhaps you have to be born with to be…

In my conducting class in college, we would have to wait on the podium after conducting while the professor gave us feedback. For some reason, part of his critique was that I “looked like a schoolmarm.” I was ten years older than these kids but still get bright red whenever I think about it. He was an incredibly…

Yes! At least, that’s the breed I was thinking of and couldn’t remember the name. He probably is a mix, but mixes make the best dogs.

Do you know what kind of dog that is? He’s beautiful and I want him.

Archer is pee-pants hilarious, don’t be ashamed.

I want to be president of calendars!

I’ve heard of this applied to journalists in the UK and of course parties and witnesses to a case. I’ve never heard of it being applied to any and all UK residents

I read in another article that they will likely waive the fee in exchange for a promise not to appeal. Which makes sense.

Omg, she is stunning in that picture.

Yes. I’m guessing she had nowhere else to go.
