That stinks. I’m sorry.

I was telling the story for days, I was so impressed at how chill she was.

Because they feel safer when they think the victim brought it on herself. “That wouldn’t happen to me because I wouldn’t do that.” When I read about a home invasion I go looking for the part about the unlocked door, even knowing exactly why I’m doing it and why it’s bullshit.

I was just coming down to post exactly this, strikethrough and all.

These same people would be bitching if the mother had left the kid alone to go to work or if she didn’t work and was on benefits.

If it makes you feel better, my face has grown a thick coat of white fur.

Intellectually, I respect the king cobra’s (and similarly dangerous-to-me snakes’) right to exist in the world and find them fascinating animals. From afar. If I found one under my dryer, I would freak the motherfucking fuck out.

I flipped this sign off on my way out of town when I got a job out of state.

It’s legal here, too, provided you can show the State Veterinarian you can properly house it and have an educational purpose in…

Been there. I didn’t actually do it, but I get it.

I just almost choked on cheese laughing at your last sentence.

I was quite surprised to learn it was on the up-and-up; it’s a licensed refuge/sanctuary with a permit to have the…

Is oral sex still illegal there?

I’m relatively certain I lost years of my life that I wouldn’t have had I not been deemed “sick.” I don’t care to dwell anymore, but I was very angry for a long time and still have a very low opinion of the mental health profession. I believe they’ve helped others but they’re not getting their paws on me again.
