Well that's a new one. I suppose the world wasn't satisfied with the myriad of choices of female slurs that were already available.

Siano's letter makes me just want to get on a plane and protest the shit out of this thing.

I just found this out last week but it stands for "That Ho Over There". Which makes using it as "thot" sound even more stupid.

I'm so proud of these young people.

"We do not know who will be in charge of tomorrow's event," he wrote. "While we first believed this would be a student-led and organized demonstration, we are far less certain of that now. As of the writing of this letter, close to 1,000 people have RSVP'ed on social media that they will be attending."

That Desmond Tutu quote is EXACTLY what I've been wanting to say to every commenter who thinks we need to cool it with the Cosby accusations.

He was suspended for three years. The point was that he wouldn't be on campus while I was there.

I went on a first date last year with a guy who seemed pretty normal and cute. I went to the bathroom during dinner and when I got back he said "Don't worry, I didn't roofie your drink."

Encouraging those who do so is a good signal to send to other people who might be tempted to not speak up when they…

"You'd be very surprised how often I hear, 'I do not want to get him in trouble."

What the fuck is this shit:

The Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences has invited people to write in on the matter at http://as.virginia.edu/contact-arts-s…. Specifically:

"I don't know that it would," Eramo responds. "Because I don't believe that they think they'll get caught."

'I've done something wrong and I recognize that and I'm willing to take my licks and deal with it,'

Can't go pissing off the alumni over booting their kids, now can ya, Ms. Eramo?

Hi! A few things:

You need to see a physician because you really need a full evaluation. Just trying to take something on your own can be dangerous. Please try to assess whatever resources you have access to and get some help. You can feel so much better with support, meds, and therapy.
