I didn’t mind the way she handled the karate thing. And I thought it was awesome how receptive the karate teacher was to the criticism!

Can’t agree there. I was totally on board with her complaining about another child teasing her kid until she cries. One may or may not agree about the pretend guns, but that level of teasing is not teasing anymore; it is flat-out bullying.

It’s like the universe knew...

Jill and Jessa: Coming Out

A favorite William Gibson quote can be paraphrased: The dystopia is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet.

My best friend was falsely accused of rape as a young teen. He said, when we’ve discussed it (it happened before I knew him), that while it was a ridiculous claim made by a very troubled girl, it always bothered him that the cops straight up said to him and his parents, “well, we know she’s lying.” Because what if was…

It doesn’t help that half the time the cops just assume it’s not really rape.

Open your wallets:

“We’ve secretly switched this Fundamentalist Mormon’s child wife with a xenomorph. Let’s see if he notices.”

Xenomorph wore it better.

That’s some Gigeresque hair right there.

This won’t make conservatives change their minds at all. All it’s going to result in is a proliferation of laws that classify it as feticide or infanticide, to further punish a desperate woman. So awful.

TL;DR “I’m not blaming the victim, but she was partially to blame. Here is a hypothetical example in which I’d also blame the victim.”

He tripped, fell, and invaded her privacy.

I’m sure the boy was just innocently confused and thought opening her personal pictures, taking a picture of his own and announcing he’d spread it around was roughly the same as other times she’d let them use it in class.

For their part, the Union County School district maintains that the subject of the photograph is not the problem, rather their objection is to Arthur’s improper supervision of her private property.

Or maybe if you’re all 40, you just don’t name your friend group and call it a day.
