“dribbles before he shoots”
oh fucking ew.

...doesn’t sound like that was their motive at all. did you read the article?

Police are reportedly looking for “three white men in military gear.”

Weekly shootings used to feel like a lot...soon it will be the morning/afternoon/evening shootings.

Thank you for highlighting that! I was seriously upset by the sort of tone this “idea” has. Once again its on women to make this issue seem important; furthermore, they are encouraged to manipulate sex as a pseudo-weapon in this campaign. Ironic? I think this campaign tries to highlight the power women have in sex,…

From my understanding, Chi-raq follows the same story, but set in Chicago and the sex is being withheld because of gang violence. But when Lee was asked in the interview with Colbert if a sex strike would actually effect change in Chicago, he went on some unnecessary tangent on how it would prevent rape on college…

When this sex strike is going full steam and a woman is raped, we’ll be right back to square one because she was “too slutty” to hold out. Or the sex strike didn’t work and we’re just a bunch of prudes who drove him to it. Actually, it’ll probably be both. One of my favorite things about rape culture and misogyny is…

I understand wanting to give the benefit of the doubt, but I really don’t think it is warranted in this case. This isn’t about helping, it’s just an ego trip. Same as Chiraq. There’s a reason a lot of people in the city are pissed at him and not for the reasons Rahm is.

You’re spot on on both points. I’m ashamed of my gender as is for the shitty things we do, but to say that we, grown men, can’t control ourselves is just wrong. Not to go #notallmen, but of course most of use are capable of not raping. So Spike thinks that a) it’s a woman’s responsibility to not get raped (wrong) and…

LOL - yes. Everything is our responsibility you know.

For me, it’s usually more of this:

My mom got one from a nose hair.

Appears to be a staph infection. We all carry staph on our skin. It was the constant rubbing from the hair ties combined with trapped bacteria. I’ve had this twice (MRSA, even, because I’m lucky like that). They hurt like an MF-er. I was certain I had cancer and was about to die. But ultimately it just needs drained…

This seems...super unlikely to me. Like, was it so tight it was injuring the skin on its own? Did she already have an open cut or something there? What the FUCK was she doing with that hair tie that would get enough virulent bacteria on it to cause that kind of serious infection? IDK, this sounds like urban legend…

There very well be mental illness at play here. But mental illness doesn’t equal violence. Plus, as Obama noted a few years ago, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental illness. We sadly aren’t even the only country with widespread white male privilege and national political figures who spew out hateful rhetoric that…

If anyone’s curious why Mr. Wells starts off his statement with “Every time this happens,” well, let’s just say he has a long and sordid history of this kind of behavior. Specifically, he was the guy that made so much noise over Jennifer Lawrence being “too big” for The Hunger Games, and said that readers should…

That’s not quite it, though. You had the option to be the “walk away and say nothing” guy, but you made a choice and went out of your way to be the “oh my god fiction is so stupid you’re all so stupid for enjoying it boy howdy I’m glad I’m so very smart, not stupid like all you stupid people” guy.

Preeeeeetty sure you love to be “that guy.”

Ok, there’s nothing supernatural about this, but it is terrifying.
