I can see lower down that you finally came to an understanding. I just wanted to give you something else to think about.

Right? I’m ready to pack a go-bag and get a fake passport...

I was amazed at her performance. I’ve never really watched Gilmore Girls but I never would have guessed that actress had that kind of dramatic grit. Like not that the kind of acting in Gilmore Girls is easy or anything - just what a range that actress has!

I LOVE the Parable series. I got the first book shortly after Trump’s inauguration and when I read the description of Jarret I almost vomited.

A lot of this gets explained in the book. Also there’s going to be more episodes, so you can always just wait and find out.

Not the worst I’ve ever had, but pretty damn bad. There’s the election, of course. But also small personal crap that’s just overwhelming at a time like this. 10 hour shifts, working for a Trump supporter. My cat pissed on my bed and I had to get a new mattress - he’s elderly and can’t get off my bed by himself, so…

I’m sorry but I have to object to the absence of Florence + The Machine. They literally have a song called Which Witch. Maybe it’s a bit on the nose, but it is about as bleak as it gets.

I was assaulted as a kid, but I did manage to make it through my undergraduate education without being assaulted. But I still lived my life in fear. I never got drunk. I never went to a party without several people who made me feel safe. Hell I even took it a step further and never really made friends with straight…

I’ve been eating tomato sandwiches since I was tiny, exactly as you describe. Although sometimes we’d swap white bread for potato bread. My grandparents always grew tomatoes in my backyard growing up, so we always had a TON and they were HUGE. You’d go out pick a nice ripe tomato, slice it up, and slap it on the…

Okay, but given the context, I think she knows what she’s talking about, though, right? She went undercover to a very dangerous place, at great personal risk, in order to give an accurate picture of what’s going on there. That sounds like a journey of self-discovery to you? I’m fairly certain that for her, it felt…

Exactly! And in order to go undercover, the white man would have been in yellowface the whole time. Then if someone questioned it, he’d just say it was necessary for his expose - thousands would rush to defend him on this.

You don’t read a lot of investigative journalism, I’m guessing. Generally it’s a highly personal, firsthand account of an undercover journalist. I’d suggest some Nellie Bly to start with, since she was the first big name out there.

Lots of support to you and yours. I lost my boyfriend three years ago to a chronic illness. We’re both queer and my queer community was my most valuable support system through my grieving process. It won’t ever go away, but you do learn to live with it.

Yeah, I’m not suggesting some grand, horrible punishment - clearly these boys aren’t necessarily hardened criminals or anything. I just think we have to priotitize the health, safety, and comfort of survivors in this case. As a survivor myself, I would be extremely uncomfortable with a boy like one of these in any of…

Right? I really think Mother Earth should just shake us humans off like a bad case of fleas.

That sounds lovely and all, but I’m not sure about sending boys who have displayed predatory behavior in to help victims of domestic violence and sexual assault - many of them at the hands of predatory men. Yes, it could be a learning experience for the boys, but it shouldn’t come at the direct expense of people who…

Why would the woman who was nearly drugged and raped by her best friend want to post about it on Facebook? She’s probably still processing the whole thing. And if there’s ever anything to brag about, it’s something like this. They helped someone, they’re allowed to feel proud of it. When you do something worthy of the…

I’m suuuper late to the game, but I don’t know if anyone here is talking about how Depp’s “paranoia” had to do with Heard’s bisexuality. He didn’t want her associating with her “lesbian” friends - maybe because he assumed she’d cheat (because that’s one stereotype bisexual people can’t seem to shake) or it may just be…

I was cool with fiscal conservatism, too, and to an extent, I think it is important to be concerned with the amount of money the government is spending, however, lots of fiscally conservative people tend to think of social issues as isolated from fiscal ones. In reality, though, these things are way more intertwined…

He may not even have cheated - lots of abusers accuse their partners of cheating as a way to control who they associate with.
