I... this makes me really sad. I always, honestly thought he was one of the good ones. I haven’t watched Castle for years, but when I did, it was sort of my happy place - just one of those shows that had great chemistry with the characters all around, so I figured it was the same off-set. Bleh.

I just assume anyone on screen is an ass in real life until they surprise me Hugh Jackman style.

Oh my god. Wendy Davis as VP would be the most amazing thing ever ever.

Senator Davis is the best thing to happen to Texas since Ann Richards. I am proud to have irritated a huffy memaw TSA worker at a Texas airport, while on a recent business trip, with my apparel -the Uterine-American version of the “Come And Take It” t-shirt, accompanied by my pink Mizuno kicks just like Sen Davis’s…

If you encounter a man in the wild, make yourself appear larger- open your jacket, raise your arms, throw stones, branches, etc., without turning away. Wave raised arms slowly, and speak slowly, firmly, loudly to communicate that you are not prey and may actually be a danger to it.

Wait, that one's for panthers. But…

It’s the dudes who are (mostly) sober and intentionally seek out drunk women who, by and large, commit rape. They choose their victims rationally.

When my sister moved to Texas, on like day two a six foot rattlesnake showed up on her doorstep and wouldn’t leave. Eventually they called the police, and a bunch of sheriff’s deputies showed up. They took turns trying to beat it with a shovel to no avail. Eventually they shot it in the head, spattering venom all over…

you’re shocked, I know

Women should also avoid spaces where men are likely to be present, because men may strike at any time, especially if provoked. A man who is about to strike will raise himself into an intimidating posture and then shake the rattle on his tail in order to warn away a woman who he sees as a potential target.

“after you have—have had some time to reflect on it all”

I completely agree with you, which is why this bill scares the shit out of me. Even an off-hand remark by a pregnant person to her healthcare provider saying “Oh I’d love to have a boy someday” could be used against her in court if she gets charged under this law.

So suddenly they “care” about people of color?? Lol ‘kay.

This, this, this! My husband is set to take over the family firm; it is not legally possible for the business to go to any of his siblings. It’s been frustrating because his parents have always underpaid him. They’ve been lousy employers and have basically allowed the business to be a giant trust fund for my husband’s…

I know a trust fund kid that took over the family business (something like 4th generation family biz) - the company was profitable, employed hundreds and is a well recognized name here in Canada.

The thing is, it’s not even that kind of wealth. All it takes is someone taking care of your basics.

I rather describe it like this: I don’t take away from anyone their success — I don’t. She worked hard and is a genuinely nice person. That’s awesome.

Julia was a ridiculously wealthy person from the day she was born due to family money, and all you hear about her is what a kind, good hearted, hard working woman she is, and how respected she is for earning her comedy cred on her own, without the influence of her father’s money. She is an icon of comedy, and proof…

I don’t think the women who live there have that option. They just have to make the best of the life they have and try to do what they can to make things better there.

“Be better” isn’t advice. It’s bragging.
