It really never is just one woman, or just one incident. If this nomination goes through, it will be a statement about how much violence, sexual or otherwise, a white man can perpetrate and still be endorsed by those in power, not even just how much he can escape punishment for. This was never fully going to be about…

This was my high school experience, until my body effectively started to shut down my junior year. Anorexia+depression+three sports+4 AP classes—I ended up with mono for over a month without noticing, and wasn’t diagnosed until I ended up having to get blood work done for ed-related reasons. That was an absolutely…

Kavanaugh is handing over his 1982 calendar to the Senate Judiciary Committee

Which NYT article are you referencing? (I’ve been focusing on the Kavanaugh articles and now I need to catch up, evidently!)

I’ve been seeing it reported as him resigning...which...why would he? Ahhhhh Mueller, I need an explanation.

I wonder how much of this may also be attributable to this being roughly the age many women report first getting sexual comments and cat calls from/being sexually harassed by boys and men.

Oh my god, that poor woman. But also, what a bamf. Good for her, and I’m glad that she seems to have at least one or two supportive extended family members--what she’s done takes an incredible amount of strength, and she deserves to have a life full of good people around her.

Allegedly Inarritu was so awful that the crew was quitting in droves during filming and Tom Hardy punched him in the face.

Yeah, notice how I specifically said he didn’t deserve it for the role he won it for; he’s definitely come up with performances that were deserving of the award, I really just didn’t think his part in The Revenant was one of them.

OH. That makes sense. But it’s a really shitty pun. Fuck your shitty punning ability as well, Julia.

Indeed. Still uncertain why that phrasing though? I mean, if she wanted to publicly call out Vera, could she have done it with a damn sentence fragment that made sense rather than just two words and a name strung together?

Okay, you’ll definitely enjoy this story. It’s kind of the exact opposite of yours.

I still don’t understand what she meant by that phrase. “A low Vera” as in “hello, Vera”?

I just started scrolling until I found the first thread shitting on DiCaprio.

lol, “unwrapped”, I hope this movie is similarly full of puns.

Truly, fuck all the women who are ready to pony out the ‘well, he didn’t do it to me, so he couldn’t have done it to her’ defense.

There are so many romance tropes in this relationship.

I’ve not had a kid, but I do have an abusive parent. So, in my eyes, your nephew is well-loved and well-off already, as he lives with someone who cares *so much* about his wellbeing and whether or not he feels appropriately loved, and clearly is doing their very best to make sure he’s raised in a stable and healthy…

I mean, it’s not like just *anyone* can be considered as a candidate for a judge position. The laws and process obviously vary by state, and obligatory INAL, but in my state the requirements state that in order to be considered a candidate who meets the requirements for a judge position/to make it on the ballot…
