He sees what I see. I know it, so I am free to react to it.

That's me, wearing the lauhala (straw) hat at the end of the clip. It was one of the most exciting finishes I've ever witnessed in person. The stadium went absolutely bonkers. We in Hawaii are a loud people and all that noise came from only 20,000, or less because people were leaving early, imagine a full…
Kekaula is awesome. I love it when CSU goes there
These trailers get me so wound up, but I've tried EVE at least a half dozen times over the years and it always ends with me alone in space, staring at a list of probe information.
I really don't need to go from a day of checking work related spreadsheets to an evening of checking game related spreadsheets.
The thing that comes through loudest here is the complete lack of understanding of sex and consent among the teens at Norman High. That is too often the subtext to a lot of these terrible rape stories. We have a general population with a very shaky notion of what real consent is. It makes you wonder where that…
No lie, this is actually my favorite series on Jezebel that I read religiously. No, no sarcasm or shade. #Truth
I don't believe his bullshit "my phone died" excuse for a second. I know this because I use it often and I'm lying every time.
I want to thank everyone who has submitted to Shade Court. Keep 'em coming. Whether they're instances of shade from…
Something similar happened to me when I was 14. I agreed to go out with a senior, who then pulled me into his car and anally raped me at my own bus stop. I couldn't tell anyone. I had been raped by a stranger the year before. At school on Monday, the rapist approached me with two of his friends and pushed me up…
And you know, I remember high school. And shit, I'm relearning it now with one in and another about to enter. But I just do not get the mindset of being another form of assault. And the whole "well she was screaming so she had to be enjoying it" comments made by not just the rapist but his little asshole posse. Cause,…
Sadly, I think the bulk of the responsibility for preventing things like this is going to be on myself and my fellow men to try and not raise the Brians of the world to think the way they do.
I also feel really hopeful that one of Brian's "bros" recorded his confession and took it to one of the victims. That's excellent bystander intervention (after the fact) and it's one of the few bits of humanity that's letting me not just crumple in the face of this awfulness.
Yes, that kid deserves a big-ass cookie! It is heartening to know that there are some right-thinking boys out there who haven't swallowed the whole rape-culture message, and who call others out on their behavior. Also must've taken some guts for him to do that.
It makes me wonder how many more there are now who won't speak up out of fear of the intimidation tactics used against these three. Brian may be the rapist but the entire school is guilty as hell of facilitating.
I think Asher is really a breath of fresh air in HTGAWM, if only because he seems to be the only person in the show who ever has any fun doing anything. Plus, his concern about making sure Bonnie wasn't too drunk and was really consenting was sweet.
I'd say that 3 victims is probably not the number this will end up being. I just don't see it STARTING with performing forcible sodomy on your professed girlfriend between passing periods in a school bathroom. It's just SO predatory and sociopathic and PRACTICED. There's no doubt, sadly, a series of previous victims -…
I want to find one, just one positive in this story, so good on the kid who recorded that drunk fucking scumbag. He should go into police work or something. You can hear him forcibly questioning "Brian," without cajoling him, and successfully getting a confession. Good on you kid. A+ job for an amateur.
"Brian" sounds like a psycho. He's definitely a predator. If the school won't do anything I hope he gets some serious jail time, TRIED AS AN ADULT. And if that doesn't work, then I sure hope somebody up there stomps a mudhole in his ass.
I'm glad everyone is complaining about the lighting. We watch this on Hulu and I thought it was just my shitty wifi.
Well, shit. I found it. HIS DISSERTATION WAS ABOUT SHOWING FAT ALBERT TO KIDS. http://scholarworks.umass.edu/dissertations/…
