It was DeJesus who was friends with the kidnapper’s daughter, but otherwise you are totally correct. Michelle Knight is a great example of the untold number of invisible missing women—women who are never even looked for. When she disappeared, she missed a custody hearing for her son, and the authorities assumed she…

so far there have not been any sexual related charges. But they might just be trying to protect her from having to go though that with a jury. I mean they have him on 2 capital murders and kidnapping he is never getting out of prison. If the prosecutes can help the victim by not having to publicly announce that this…

Possible.

The bit about the man at the home standing guard at the front door with his hunting rifle while they waited for the cops to arrive is both terrifying and moving.

I’m not defending the father because I don’t know enough about the situation to say if he was negligent, but I did read that he is devastated by what his son did. Apparently he tried to sit on the prosecutor’s side of the courtroom during the arraignment until the bailiff forced him to move, and he gave Jayme’s family…

it’s like a horror movie come to life.  terrifying.  

This is so viscerally frightening on every level. Stalking her from a random sighting, stranger abduction from her own home, murdering her entire family to get to her, and then extended captivity. Fucking christ. I’m so glad that the people Jayme ran to for help are decent people.

It says he took it. Not that it was borrowed with permission. I’d probably get away with taking a gun from my father if they weren’t all locked up in a safe like they’re supposed to be. He doesn’t do daily inventories.

Seriously, give her the money. She's earned it and will need it.

The implied causation presented with those statistics makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out. Maybe her failed committed relationships taught her valuable life lessons that contributed to the success of her marriage. Maybe her abortion allowed her to finish college and achieve her dreams.

It sounds like Average Anna has a pretty good time until she gets married and has kids.  That was obviously her mistake.

Also, it’s not like security won’t have the ward mostly cleared for Markle, because of security/privacy concerns. 

Meh, next week Meghan will probably be visiting something to do with the arts and Kate will probably be out supporting a charity. They always seem pretty chill in photos of them together, it’s a shame when the media tries to concoct feuds between women like this. Kate had really awful morning sickness so I’m not…

So many things offend me about this, but as a southern woman, inviting people into your home for a meal and serving them cold fast food burgers is just not done. You can always do BBQ. I don’t mean grilling, but piles of brisket and pork with sauce and beans and cole slaw. It’s cheap and filling and delicious. 

Doesn’t matter. Because if you can get McDonald’s and Burger King to cater a reception, you can get a nice restaurant to provide good food for guests the President of the United Fucking States is hosting in the goddamn White House.

You know that if this had been Obama, or probably other president, they would have had a BBQ cook out themed meal, with some sweet photo ops of POTUS Manning the grill. But A) no other president would have been dealing with a record breaking shut down, and B) Trump is too incompetent to spin this into an endearing…

She’s really using the “He has daughters!” excuse? And tossing in “I’ve known him forever!” and “You weren’t there!”

The Bezos Texts/pictures were leaked to the National Enquirer because they love Trump and Trump hates Bezos. I think that angle needs to be the focus rather than what Bezos looks like. The fact that a sitting president is using his influence to facilitate a stupid vendetta is very unsettling to say the least.

I admit, I get so, so incredulously mad when my very masc (both physically and socially) partner ‘doesn’t hear’ me. I have pointed out numerous times that he hears me, he just doesn’t LISTEN to me. I have no idea how that’s such a thing, that dealing with some (a lot?!) of men involves treating them like…

I mean feel free to cure childhood cancer first. Adult cancer too! Diabetes, heart disease...maybe even the common cold? In fact, you know what? I’m good! No need to worry about it, thanks for the checkup, doc! <skips off joyfully>
