I'm fine with it either way and would not have minded a bit if they had interrupted the performance, but this way was likely more effective.

I'm glad you think an orchestra being interrupted is more important than justice for an unarmed teenager being killed. Priorities, man.

As a professional musician and a frequent concert-goer, I applaud them. I think the protesters were more aware of music as a powerful, "living" force than some of the other concert-goers were. The organizers of the protest knew what the program was, and saw parallels between the music and their own struggle for…

Why not? You are protesting to a group of almost entirely rich white people, many of whom will have pull and power within St Louis and Missouri. It was peaceful, musical and polite. It's the perfect kind of protest to counter the "thug" attitude that mainy have towards the protesters.

The protestors made and left these hearts behind.

I'm 100% convinced that St. Louis DA's office have a countdown for when it is OK to announce that there is no charges being filed against Darren Wilson.

In the UK and I assume in states with an age of consent below 18, if an adult in a position of power such as a teacher, carer or police officer sleeps with a 16-18 year old they are have authority over it is still statutory rape. And that is exactly the right way to do things.

It's not about whether 16 is an adult or not, it's an abuse of power. Full stop.

She does seem to have the daughter's wellbeing at heart. But, as ungenerous as it sounds, something sticks in my gut about the couple's willingness to bring up a white baby in a racially homogenous, intolerant area. Don't white kids need to understand diversity as well?

I don't have a good answer to your question, except to say that you in addition to focusing on raising your potential future daughter(s) to understand their worth, you should also do your best to raise any sons with an understanding of women's worth as well.

This is actually a common comparison among ultra-conservative fundamentalist Christians, sadly. I've seen it pop up on Facebook and have had great fun tearing it to shreds.

Right?! Like, what if you happen to be sick or traveling or otherwise unable to get to a fucking pharmacy within the small window you have between when your last prescription runs out and when you're permitted to refill? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

I don't know. This whole thing comes off just as skeevy as ranking people by number. I'm in a pretty good relationship. I'm better about somethings than he is, he's better at some stuff than I am. I have absolutely no interest in working out on a ledger which one of us is ahead. We work because

Having dated a republican at one point, dying alone doesn't seem so terrible now.

i have yet to see us correctly chastise a guilty man, soooooo...

You are not worthless and you are not alone.

Step 1: Never do push-ups.

Thanks for this. People with non-military PTSD already face enough stigma. We don't really need more.

I have diagnosed PTSD and I would definitely say this has been the case with me. Even after two years of therapy, using food to self-soothe is still one of my first tendencies when I am triggered, even when I am in a good routine of healthy eating (unlike in grad school, where my eating is pretty atrocious at the…

Oh, boy. This would explain SO MUCH. I'm going to try to read through the entire study.
