I really, really hate all those covers that feature a faceless lady lady—either no head or she’s looking off into the distance. URGH.

It’s not academic study, it’s investigative journalism.

This x 1 million. I am so susceptible to cover art. I try to be sensible, but I end up passing books by because of their pastel, saccharine covers.

This is insulting to her journalistic integrity and how much risk she took, but not surprising. I have noticed that a lot of books authored by women are marketed to fail.

Fuck everything gif party

I saw some of those on my Facebook feed. Reminded me why I don’t go on Facebook anymore.

I think I may be ill. I hope she gets the help she needs and “punished by the school” is more than a stern talking to for the boys involved.

Because apparently she “allowed” it - yes, really - that was the slant. I wanted to burn something down. No lie.

what the FUCK

Ugh...
