Getting an IUD and not making any of my own. My partner and I have decided to become foster parents because those kids deserve awesome parents and they're already here. =]

Refer to this scene from The Wire, Season 3, Episode 10 "Reformation":

What on earth is it going to take for things to change? I mean, if Trayvon Martin didn't change things, if Mike Brown and the Ferguson protests didn't change anything, what on earth is it going to take? It's like with gun violence I thought for SURE okay, Sandy Hook. That HAS to be the thing that changes…

It makes me so mad how this narrative of fear is mobilized in such a hypocritical manner. You want to be a bad ass citizen soldier, LARPing Call of Duty in your military equipment? Fine, but don't go crying about how afraid you are the minute some unarmed black person initiates the slightest resistance. Cops can't…

"I feel very bad" - he sounds like a 7-year-old apologizing for stealing crayons, not a man who just strangled another man to death.

I'm starting to think the best response to these incidents might be stuff I shouldn't type on the internet.

Of course they didn't. If we live in a world where a neighborhood watch wannabe can murder an unarmed teenage boy and be found not guilty, I don't know why I keep expecting us to indict police officers who kill grown men for committing petty crimes.

It's in the bible, "don't blame the parent for the kid being Hitler" Marky Mark 7:11

Ok, maybe I shouldn't have said "tons", I'm sorry that we live in an era of hyperbole. I have 15 male cousins, and about 6 male friends that I keep company with. And it's not like I played them as saints either, I'm not saying it's impossible that none of them have raped, that why I brought up that some of them can be…

Sexual violence seems to rum rampant more in Oklahoma than anywhere else that I've lived. In November, 2013, I was date-raped by twenty year old Josh Baker of Clinton, Oklahoma. I had just turned 16 at the time. He then trapped me in a relationship with him with threats of hacking and that his anonymous (the violent…

ummm... as a member of "The" knitting ciricle... WE NEED THESE!!

do you mean bro culture and like beer commercials? This is one of my big worries, that I will screw it up. We forbid most mainstream movies and I never force them to kiss or hug, and I always ask permission before kissing them. We also always stop any horse play when someone says no, and then they have to ask for…

In fairness: the investigation was underway when I started writing the story, and all the victims and their families spoke warmly of Detective Collett, the officer assigned to their case. They were really unhappy with Norman High School administrators, though, who they believed didn't do enough to put a stop to the…

That is the face (and hair) of someone who thought he'd never get in trouble for his atrocities because sluts r sluts amirite?
