Calm the fuck down, January; we still have a whole year of horror to endure.

Except it’s common for abuse victims to kill while their perpetrator is sleeping - partly because they have to build up the nerve, and also because it’s safer for them. When you’ve experienced the kind of systemic, humanity breaking abuse that Brown would have gone through, you think mostly about survival - so yeah,…

Inside your ear...

No, she plans to pay for it by clawing back the $2 trillion giveaway to the nation’s richest that has already jacked up the deficit.

That Overton window shifting into some new light. I love it!!!!

The apostrophe is a symbol that indicates the letter “s” is likely to happen. Not always, but often. ‘s.

I’m glad to see there’s so many comments hounding the Native American guy for having opinions on issues that are important to him as someone of native descent. It’s a good look.

I swear, if I have to explain this to another person I’m going to lose it. I. Am. Not. Advocating. This. Policy. If you actually read the article, that’s a direct quote from the administration of the facility. I am critiquing this policy.

Lot of people being really shittily dismissive of this. Everyone should take a look at the syllabus linked to get a better understanding of why you shouldn’t be acting like this is nothing.

don’t see what the buzz is all about

It’s long-term care, they don’t care and they don’t check hormones regularly.  They watch vitals, see any dramatic changes, otherwise all they do is feed/wash/turn/diaper.

That’s exactly what I thought! If she can’t say “I’m pregnant” to the staff caring for her, then she can’t consent! There’s no tip toe around this one, and I hope they DNA test the staff so they can prosecute that fucker (unless it was a visitor).

Oh my god. This immediately brought to mind the scene in Kill Bill where the hospital attendant had been assaulting her while she was in her coma and just jesus fucking christ. This poor woman.

I don’t find it odd at all. People change as they grow up, they move, their interests change. It’s incredibly lucky if childhood friends still get along when they are adults. I have exactly 1 friend from before age 20- I don’t think that’s super uncommon.

Towards whom does one climb in Toronto?

“Good Condition” is very subjective and the language of the contract is ambiguous. When contracts contain language that is ambiguous, the party that did not draft the contract language has the leverage.
