I have the distinct feeling that Emile’s sentence would have been harsher if he had attacked a man. I swear to goddamn hell, women are fair game to anyone who wants to abuse them as far as I can tell based on how the justice handles their abusers.

Lol if you're 30 and so drunk that your mouth can't find the straw, then alcohol is no longer a lubricant, it's a band aid for some terrible emotional boo boo. Or fucked up genetics.

I never want to be this shitfaced ever again. 30 is not the new 20 when it comes to drinking unless you’re an alcoholic.

It’ll be the hardest thing you’ve ever done, but you can absolutely do it. I’m a nurse and a lot of my patients rationalize not quitting by saying “oh well I am going to die of something one day anyway.” But it probably won’t just be lung cancer and *poof* you’re gone the next day. It’ll likely be COPD which is slow…

Which is why to most people the former smoker is the most boring person in the room

Me too. . . . now I am looking 32 square in the face and still smoking. . . .but, for the first time in my smoker’s life, I am beginning to actually think that I might maybe want to quit smoking for me? And not my husband. And not future me. But, actually me. We’ll see. Still, that small feeling feels good.

Not only traumatizing but what are the chances he’ll come back a week later with some of his pals waiting for her in the parking lot?

It looks like a tri-fold menu, some of which can be pretty heavy duty. Definitely took major force on her part to take him down tho which makes me love her all the more. I also think there's a good chance he's been drinking based on his blatant asshattery and location at the bar, so he wouldn't be too hard to best if…

Something very interesting I noticed the second time round: the first time he grabs her, she pushes him off. Then he’s angry at her for showing him up, and he goes to grab her behind in revenge, in order to put her in her place. Such a great demonstration that the men that perpetrate these acts of sexual assault…

In Soviet Russia, server hit on you.

Violence is seldom the answer.

It sickens me even more that she was saying these things while having knowledge of the fact that a child molester who wasn’t trans, gay, or any of the other sexual minorities she was worrying about living under her roof and being protected and celebrated. These idiots should have never been on the air in the first…

Right? I like Jay Z and Beyonce, but come on, they’re not pure innocent gods among us mortals. Everyone here is assuming Marina Abramovic is making it up or “whining.” Umm, if Jay Z used her intellectual property and promised an exchange of funds for it which he did not deliver, he’s in the wrong. Can you imagine if…

No part of our justice system or Constitution requires she be silent. You can remain uncomfortable, but that isn’t a reason for someone in her position to not do what she is doing. Innocent until proven guilty is a criminal law tenet meaning no one is incarcerated until proven guilty, it does not pertain to thing…

“Ovaries of Diamond” definitely needs to be as commonly used as “Balls of Steel”

Chicken is like “oh it’s y…oh what did you…oh wait…ok I like it. Boo, that new cut is fresh as fuck.”*

I’d love to remix this into something more urgent and desperate sounding. I like the song, but it needs more angst. Much more.

ETA: Just a minor fix of a word.

Yeah, I love everything about all this, except the song itself. The lyrics are fine, the sentiment is good, but- whatever, subjectivity. Not sure Prince can be Pete Seeger.

He wasn’t trying to get in the shot. He was trying to grossly cop a feel.

this is peak Cubs game right here
