I’ve said this before as well. I think it speaks to how fucked up this situation & our justice system really is that we’re all so bowled over the right thing is finally being done. Still, it’s a step in the right direction & I’ll take it!

This is good news. But I’ve seen this movie before. I want to see these fuckers sharing a cell, knowing they will spend the rest of their lives with the “thugs” and “animals” they took pride in hunting down. Then i’ll believe that we might be heading on the right path to change. That said, this is a wonderful first…

I hate how fucking rare it feels to even see proper charges filed in cases of police brutality against people of color. To have a prosecutor not only do so but promise justice feels like a goddamn unicorn. Thank you, Ms. Mosby.

I’ve said from the beginning of all this that, while of course it’s terrible what they did to her, have you EVER seen a more potent, inspiring story of revenge?? The girl not only survives but becomes a worldwide inspiration for young women everywhere, is given a Nobel Peace Prize, continues to further the cause that…

Yeah. I mean, this is small but I think it could be effective. A) It’s peaceful, and I’m pretty much always behind peaceful protests and B) the media attention it’s going to get will help raise even more awareness of this issue. Not all protests have to be marching in the streets and chanting, it’s okay to get…

Obama’s comic timing is amazing. I adore his deadpan snark delivery.

I discovered something truly beautiful while I was searching for the above gifs :

I don’t know that my father views sex as his right to have (although with that sentence, I’ve officially thought more about my parents’ sex life than I ever wanted to), I think it just never occurred to him (or my mother, quite frankly) to wait to make babies. Sex education didn’t exist in rural Appalachia when they…

Was the Alesana family supportive of her? Because Alcorn’s family was terrible to her, and deserved some scorn.

Yeah. People are fascinated by you, but not for the reasons you think.

Gives you some idea how monumentally resilient black people have to be by default just to get up in the morning.

I just do not understand how other people cannot see the evidence. I mean, here’s the thing: I’m white, it does not happen to me. But I can see evidence of it constantly happening to other people. These people are almost always black. Therefore logic stands to reason that their being black has something to do with why…

for all those people saying you want Jessica Williams to host STFU she is not yours

And I wouldn't want to give them any tourism/money until the government gets its shit together on this.

I usually think about rape as sexually motivated, in terms of the attacker's belief that he has a right to another's body. But this story shows very clearly that rape is a conscious tool of violence. There was nothing sexual here other than the organs. In choosing to rape this women rather than beat her (or…

I mean, WHY are they called Samoas? It's like naming a cookie "Indonesias" or "Palaus." Is it supposed to be a pun, like "I want samoa [some more]"?

She probably also thinks that goddamned dress is White and Gold.
