I cannot believe (*sigh* yes I can) that people are fixated on, “but did he wear socks IN the pool?” as opposed the fact that the (thankfully fired) apartment manager is a blatant racist.

He actually didn’t have his socks on in the pool. He was wearing them at the pool. 

Okay Madge definitely put it on. I hear it with Meghan but I will verify right now after a couple weeks with my English family, shit just starts coming out different. It’s not so much an accent, it’s an inflection. And it’s contagious. I'll cut her a break for now.

In the words of Carol Burnett’s Starlet O’Hara: “I saw it in the window and just had to have it.”

I nearly spit out my tea. The tie looks SUPER home made. 

I’m not sure Windex is gonna fix this one. 

Me too. I feel shame.

Oh, you ain’t never lied about that! While they running around calling the police on any black people in a five mile radius of them, those same white people getting raped , robbed, assaulted, and murdered , by the white people in their lives that they refused to be scared of, and give the benefit of the doubt to.

Meanwhile, these same self-appointed neighborhood watch losers continue to get robbed blind by people they know. If there’s one characteristic that I would appoint to practically all white people is the inability to do proper risk assessment.

She straightened my pole.

There... I fixed it with Photoshop...

I went to a medical museum that had a room of preserved specimens. One was a gangrenous uterus, with a gangrenous fetus in situ. Horrified, I asked the guide how on earth a uterus becomes gangrenous. Amateur abortion, she said simply. Never again.

Jesus that site is terrible. Someone earlier today posted a blind item from CDAN about a female politician that’s basically just a plot synopsis of the Joan Allen movie “The Contender”.

It truly is. And the picture is so complicated, like—we don’t want to disrespect her memory and her family with that picture, but at the same time, people NEED to see that this has very real consequences for women.

I just googled it (at work) and it was somehow worse than I expected. How insanely awful. What a stark visual of what could be again.

I mean, fuck, did people not watch Revolutionary Road? I’m scarred from that and it wasn’t even real.

God I have seen that photo too. it’s horrifying. EVERYONE should have to see it.

I believe that was her.

Was it the photo of Gerri Santoro in the hotel room? I only ask in case other folks on here who don’t know here name—we should all remember it, along with Savita Halappanavar.

Yeah, trials (especially contested ones) are expensive - and emotionally draining. It may be that some of the victims families are relieved this is coming to a close.
