“Do you know who I am?”

There’s something interesting —and interesting, in a morbid way— about reading these statements. Because beyond the wretchedness of victim-blaming, notice how Holtzclaw can’t stick to a narrative about his own actions? He can’t seem to say something as simple as “I was on the other side of town,” or “I did a search,…

No, it is that people feel justified telling women to calm down. It has nothing to do with women needing to be told something more than men. Talk about infantilizing.....

This interests me, because the last time I had my thyroid tested, the blood tests came back that I was pretty B-12 deficient, so I started taking a supplement. I was a bit concerned that the supplement recommended has (literally) 16,666% of my RDA of Vitamin B-12, which...seems like too much, even as I understand that…

If I dig deep into the recesses of my Property Law memories, I recall that racial discrimination in housing is actually allowed when you’re renting in your own house or anything smaller than a 4-plex (if the owner also lives there). This was the Murphy exception? Any landlord-tenant lawyers want to correct me on this?…

Oh goody, now I can watch people water their green lawns that they planted IN THE GODDAMN DESERT. THE MOJAVE DESERT. GREEN LAWNS. THAT IS A PROBLEM.

Mmm. Jason Momoa. How can one human be so fucking beautiful?

I assume it is different state by state, but my dad is a horrible piece of shit and even he was granted joint custody (this was in Maryland). Contrary to all those MRAs favorite argument, courts aren’t out to get fathers when it comes to custody decisions.

My understanding is that unless one of the parents is a murdering drug-addicted child abuser, the courts basically never award sole custody. They’ll always err on the side of keeping a family togteher, and you have to be an obscenely negligent parent for them to decide otherwise.

I’m not sure what it says about me or about him, but I thought Billy Ray Cyrus was Rob McElhenney pretending to be Billy Ray Cyrus.

Dude, Kind Bars are delicious. The sea salt chocolate almond one and the salted caramel one are the bomb. I usually only eat half of one at a time, because depending on your meal calories, they can be a bit too high-calorie for a snack, but they taste amazing.

In an attempt to prevent women from having access to birth control and abortions, Justin Bieber’s mother, Pattie Mallette, pointed to her son as an example of how awesome “unexpected” kids can be. I disagree. Her son is a ringing endorsement for abortions given away free with the purchase of a 7-11 Slurpee.

Uh everyone knows if two dudes hug each other it’s because they are gay. Straight guys can’t ever hug. I think it’s in the bible: “Lo! If thou has’t affection for thy brother from another mother, let it be known only by a strong shake of hands. Verily, to embrace is precribed unto the homosexuals only.”

...we are loath to deeply criticize women for being superficial, or “fake,” or subservient to an arrangement they chose for themselves—as is, of course, their right.

I’m a trusts and estates attorney (albeit not in Minnesota, so take this with a grain of salt) but I’m almost certain that his lack of a will had no practical effect on the amount of tax owed by his estate. The only way a will could have saved federal estate taxes would be if he had left his estate to charity and…

That charity is called Planned Parenthood but a lack of contraceptive access wasn’t the cause of this awful male violence. Men kill their planned children plenty. And we have no reason to believe that any of the children need new families – they likely already have perfectly good family/ies who were forced to…

I’d be okay if it were sandals, but open-toed boots are just stupid as a concept. I love shoes and almost feel bad to dismiss an entire category of footwear, but seriously, those are dumb.

Me too! I do that even on cold winter nights. So strange. Only the foot, the minute to much calf shows, I get all Victorian and wake up to cover it up ;-)
