yeah and that’s all it boils down to. good people can’t understand evil people.

Do you want to understand it? I mean, basically the answer is that there’s something deeply sick about their psyche that they express through rape, be it a deep hole of perceived powerlessness that they try to fill through taking power over others, or an uncontrollable paraphilia, or simply that they’re sick…

Satanists are pretty much humanists. They don’t worship Satan or anything like that. That’s just there so they can be a “religion” and get the kind of standing that atheists are denied.

i still will never ever understand why people feel the need to drug and rape someone. if you’re a cool enough person, you’ll find someone who wants to have sex with you. (i say this an an uncool person who gets laid on the reg.) if you’re a nice enough person, people will let you touch their genitals. if you’re rich…

Would it be gauche of me to start chanting “Lock him up!”? His comments regarding the trial outcome are so Trumpian and I don’t want to further any comparisons myself.

There are only a few radio stations in the Bay Area that I find somewhat bearable. Two of them play only Christmas music from before Thanksgiving (one) and from Thanksgiving (the second) until Christmas. Annoying, provincial, and retrograde is how it seems to me.... They leave my dashboard for that month.

But wait, there’s more: many rooms had the dark wood paneling, and the real 70s kicker, the paisley sofa was covered in clear plastic.

Mmmmmm “Perfection Salad”!

It’s looking at you!

It would make things easier.

Abusive ex flew here on my fucking dime this week to sign over his rights to my kid so my husband can adopt her. He freaked out in the lawyer’s office, called me and screamed at me for thirty minutes, and generally acted so crazy that the lawyer ethically couldn’t let him sign, even though he said he would.

This GIF will represent me for the next 4 years.

It feels like every time this woman speaks a lie comes out. Jesus Christ.
