I’m so glad to hear that Lindy has friends like this! I follow Lindy on twitter, and I am in awe/horrified by how much shit she puts up with daily and how well she deals with it. I LOVE a good Lindy twitter burn. Keep fighting the good fight, ladies!

Ok but this person knows gun control is not actually Amy Schumer’s responsibility, right? I guess the more famous people advocating for an issue the better, but like please go berate actual politicians or the NRA. Amy Schumer did not cause this problem and she’s not going to be the one to fix it.
David Brooks wrote a typically clueless column about Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book. The book is written as a letter to his son, so David Brooks thought it would be cute to also style his column that way. If you’ve ever read any of Coates’ work, he’s pretty unsparing in his observations about race and white supremacy in… Read more
Jia being the only dog person on staff feels right, somehow.
I think you missed the point of that rant.
And people are still blaming what happened to those innocent people on mental illness. White people must be humanized at all costs. Notice that when the police found him, they gave him a vest and didn’t handcuff him. The life of a white man who kills black people has value but the life of a black child who holds a… Read more
Fox isn’t the only media corp with shit in their teeth: Read more
Yes, I’m sure that when he said, “You’re raping our women and taking over our country,” he was mad about Christians. That’s definitely it.
One of the things I value so much, reading this story, is how clearly it shows the way that reporting someone isn’t always and shouldn’t be assumed to be a horrible excision of deep personal trauma—that the author reported him with the primary goal of keeping other women safe.
Thank you for having the strength to share your story.

He’s also disproving the idea that Americans will only pay attention of 15 seconds before moving on. Most of his stuff is 17 minutes! Take that news media! He reports on things at least three times as long as you ever do!
I think you’re spot on about why people do that “but she’s your mother!” nonsense. I love in NE Tennessee and it's crazy how often I heard that here and I think it's because family is such a big thing here and supposed to be so sacred.
Thank you for your support. My wife is a strong person in her own way. Funnily enough, part of what's kept her strong is she can be fucking spiteful as hell. Not a person you want to cross. I think part of why she hasn't cut ties is less hope that things will magically get better and more an internal attitude of 'I… Read more
It’s because anytime an agency threatens to audit or enforce regulations, the companies threaten to leave. So, everyone is terrified of fining or reprimanding companies because they’re afraid of job loss, local economy impact and the companies just packing up and leaving to a ‘more business friendly country’. It's… Read more
Are you my mom perhaps? Cuz that’s some next level martyr shit right there. I do get what you mean. I do. It’s hard to be a single parent and provide in all the ways kids need it. But there is a difference between being drained and trying to actively balance everything that needs done and take care of your mental… Read more
And a shout out to all those people that are trying against all odds to still make it work when everybody else wants them to get away. Read more
Thank you so much for this! I was taken away from my mother when I was a child due to serious neglect. The apartment we were living in was condemned. She left, didn’t even try to get me back or see me. No phone calls, nothing. Just left while I wondered why. I got that we weren’t living right, didn’t understand the… Read more
