Lisa Frank!! Oh, man.

I’ve been watching this morning since it’s my day off (even though I have a frillion other things to do)...The Secret Service was so fucking nervous the entire time he was greeting the crowd. It was kind of comical.

Unless Hadid was walking around with a Trapper Keeper and a fistful of Lipsmackers (or whatever the kids are into these days), I’m going to go ahead and guess she didn’t really telegraph the age 13. Probably looked and seemed a bit older to the casual observer - at least within the not-creepy range to a 19-year old.

Amy is way too good for Nick. Talent wise. Looks wise. Intelligence wise. Now that she’s available and the Hammaconda is back on the market, their mutual pal Tina needs to play matchmaker.

Things I hate to admit (journalist here):

I’ve posted this here multiple times, but it’s worth repeating;

YES. That meek demeanor in the video is NOTHING like how she acted when the cameras were first on her.

Early 20th century theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote a lot on this subject, thinking of it as “cheap grace”. The idea being that people who think that all they need to be forgiven their sins is to feel real bad about it and prey real hard tend to simply fall back into sinful behavior because they feel forgiven

There is a word for that: martyrbation.

Part of the problem with the authoritarian nature of Davis’ subcultural group (as in any authoritarian subcultural groups) is that the people within the group are “good people” so any transgressions they make are forgiven and those who speak can be trusted implicitly. Conversely, those outside the group are “bad

But it’s not that black and white. For instance you can guarantee victims the right to a support worker when they’re giving statements, you can punish officers who don’t comply with that, you can give mandatory training to police on how trauma affects recall so they don’t automatically discount testimony that isn’t

Good point.

She doesn’t get it and I don’t think she ever will. She doesn't understand what's it like to be other. Why it is so important to have those rights and acknowledgments that you matter as a person.

I feel really sad that … someone could be so unhappy with themselves as a person that they did not feel dignified as a human being until they got a piece of paper.

I completely read the title, and before I read the article thought, “Yeah it doesn’t matter - says the woman who has gotten married four times... it’s not like marriage is sacred to her or anything... oh wait.”

I thought the article was about the racial issues underlying the false accusations of rape made against black men, like the first several paragraphs... But then a few sentences later, it’s just a retelling of two black women falsely accusing white men of rape... Did I miss something, or is this just all the f over the

I never thought I would say this tbh, but that is a major disservice to Justin Bieber. I mean, I am as grossed out by Justin Bieber’s existence as the next person, but at least he isn’t, you know, fucking evil.

Brand Feminism. If Emily Davison were alive she’d throw herself in front of a horse.

This guy is a poster child of what is wrong with capitalism. Rooting against his team from now on. /blogpost
