I discovered tumblr at the same time I was taking a break from teaching and in graduate school for government/poli sci/international relations (so what, three years ago?) and I've watched it go from a place where a lot of good academic feminist and social justice discourse was happening to slowly but surely turning…

I'm done with tumblr. Deleted my account, burned that bridge down. Never going back... I have had enough MRA/TERF battles to last me a life time.

Oh Mary, we all understand how you stay employed. You're one of the most genuinely awesome people in sports television, sort of an anti-Collinsworth, and you know your stuff like few others. I raise a glass to you.

For those of you having trouble viewing the embedded polls, here are links that you can C'n'P into your browser:

i think the fact that they pulled off the Manti T'eo story and stuck the landing suggests they have a pretty good editorial process and Hannan's piece would not have run in the incarnation it was presented in on Grantland. but then again, i'm a fanboy.

I did not make this

Yeah...totally weird...how did they let that black guy get so close to the field? I thought this was an SEC game. Aren't they only allowed to A. play, or B. sit in the upper level?

There is real porn on the internet.

This guy took baseball away from lots of children.

You're like a grade-D Caity Weaver. Painful. Seriously. Awful stuff.

I'm so glad we have white people around to explain at non-white people why they have no right to find things offensive.

Lady Gaga's increasingly daft and desperate attempts to be "shocking" and "thought-provoking" have reached a new nadir .... It sounds like her atonal mewling,

Well, I guess we all know why they're not in a pool.

Not to get racial, but a lot of these execs are coming from homes where drinking is normalised and then they go to college and enter mostly white frats and drink a bunch. I don't want to say that white people are all alcoholics, but it does seem like something that activists in the white community might want to focus…

...you do know how vasectomies work, yes?

"You know how we're making hundreds of millions of dollars?"

Also: ESPN's parent company Disney is apparently asking all divisions to cut costs.

I don't know. I really think we might have to just start over from scratch.

Hi Sam! It's your girl Jenny at Tawkify... I have two more adorable girls I'd love to set you up with. Text me! LOVE this story. Promise — next time you won't know the girl, but it will definitely be someone with a cute body... and a great smile :)

You're both apparently single. You know each other. You obviously share common interests. Oh, and she's super cute. Sam, guy, WTH? Screw HR, I'd date her! Well, not I, specifically, since I don't think Mrs. CajunGuy would appreciate it too much, but you know what I mean.
