I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

Pam Bondi: “I was defending the constitution”

Yes, because pedantry will bring the hundreds who have died as the result of gun violence back from the dead. It doesn’t really matter what the thing is called, and splitting hairs about terminology does nothing except draw attention away from the actual issue, which is scores upon scores of innocent people being…

You are correct. It is not the same type of rifle Hitler is given credit for naming. It does clear rooms and kill many people like an assault rifle, though, so I am going to let it go.

Hmm, that lovely poem is missing something ... maybe about how the person most likely to die from a gun is the gunowner? Maybe something about how in the ensuing panic, they'll probably be more likely to hurt someone with friendly fire than take out the assailant?

I am so tired of this bullshit on my facebook feed:

“I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won’t shoot you. My gun won’t pull it’s own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger…

I DID AND IT WAS PERFECT!!!! She ended up personally handing me a tote bag after i kept not being able to catch one (AND MY THIRST WAS PALPABLE!)

God bless Sam Bee. She really is the rightful heir to the Daily Show—even if she’s doing her own show now. She’s the person who I look to now for her take on news events, who I can count on for catharsis.

yep yep yep. that is THE fucking key. i’ve said it time and time again on this site. black people love giving white people props even if they’re just good, and not great, at whatever black cultural expression they’re doing. go to an hbcu and see a white girl with some rhythm. Black people will gas her THEE fuck up. Go…

Everything, literally EVERYTHING about Meghan Trainor said “one-hit wonder” and yet she is still here, annoying us...forever.

There once was a girl from Nantucket
with talent as deep as a bucket.
She tried to “sound black”
and wrote songs like a hack
so they gave her a Grammy when they should have said “Fuck it.”

I am of the belief that it’s not so much that black audiences don’t want white artists exploring a black sound: the issue is that white artists can be bad while employing black style and still be successful.

For me at least, that’s 100% true. I’m still shaking off the emotional effects, and not always winning. My last bruises faded a year and a half ago and while I have a few small physical issues still, they tend to pale in comparison to the mental trauma.

Smashing up your surroundings- breaking things, kicking and punching walls and doors etc- *is* categorised as domestic violence.

Cool trolling dude, A+ work

You do understand that emotional abuse is considered domestic abuse, right? It isn’t domestic violence, but it is possible for someone to emotionally abuse one person and physically abuse another. I have seen it first hand.

Except the person she was supposedly violent towards has expressed pretty unconditional support for her.

it’s all abuse. it’s done to intimidate and terrify the victim.
