Probably true.
Probably true.
I’m highish. I would likely do it. I have multiple accounts and I don’t find managing them oppressive.
She would literally stand to the side looking concerned while a woman was being assaulted in her presence, perhaps looking troubled if it got really violent. Later she would soft-talk about how that woman should be heard and state that she cares about both sides. Then, in a press conference set up to compete with that…
My cousin used these. Nope, never use one.
My Mom makes the best baked potatoes. I mean, the best. Her method involves: wash potatoes, remove any eyes (Mom never gets rid of a potato so there are sometimes eyes), coat the outside with Crisco, place directly on oven rack, back at 375 until a fork meets no resistance. The skin is amazing in this method. It’s the…
I have heard he said/she said used when there are rape kits, and DNA swabs, and bruising, and eyewitnesses. Because he says it was consensual, and he is always more trustworthy than she is, somehow. He said/she said is a phrase that I have never heard for any other crime than rape/sexual assault. And I have heard it…
Not scared for his daughters. If they get raped, I guess it’s just friendly fire or something. Jesus, these people.
“I know you’re not thinking. You never do.” That’s called projection, I believe.
Never saw it. But I sure don’t like the sound of it.
I am so opposed to the phrase “He said, she said” and I’ve decided that every time I see it I’m going to point out that nearly all crimes revolve around two different stories about the same chain of events. Some guy grabs some other guy’s wallet at the ball game? He said, he said. Some woman steals some guy’s car? She…
Yeah, this letter’s completely ridiculous. To everyone who has every been sexually assaulted in Maricopa County? I’m sorry this woman didn’t have your back. I’m going to call that my educated guess.
The Good Place was AMAZING! Sorry to yell, but it was amazing. I love that show. I love them all. Cannot wait for next week.
This made me cry. Thank you for writing it. I’m just shaking with fury, grief, desolation, then fury again. This is not right. I can’t even type my story. I can’t imagine if he was up for Judge on the supreme court and I had to do this. I do not think I could. This is just so fucked up.
I hate everything about this hearing. It’s just awful.
Yeah, I’m a hard no on this. That’s just too much.
My Mom lives in Michigan. They installed a roundabout near her at a particularly gnarly intersection. Then they took it out a few years later because people didn’t know what they were doing. Good going, MDOT, to explain these because I went through that roundabout and I would say about 95% of the people got it. That…
Yes, it’s one of the things that really struck me from the New Yorker piece—that Judge talked to his ex-girlfriend about getting girls drunk like this AND considered it consensual sex. The other was that the GOP members of the judiciary committee knew about the second accuser and was pushing through the confirmation.
This is that kitchen wall calendar that contains all the info, my family had one, too. As someone who has a year-older brother, let me tell you that both of us as teens had a pure genius for getting out of things like “Beach Week.” We would develop last minute plans that required (“I said required, Mom! It’s not like…
In my admittedly unscientific sample, I have found that most assholes have no idea they are assholes. Most.
I love your financial pieces, so it’s fun to see how you work. My desk is exactly like yours except if someone set up huge stack of paper in front of a fan and let it rip. Except for that. And everything else. But mostly that.
