Obligatory “lock him up” chant.

EVERYONE GETS LOCKED UP!!!!

What a great story about community. There’s a lot to be said about perception and appearances but to hear that it was delivered with love and appreciation makes me get all the feels. Good job listening to Oprah and Co. Jamie Foxx

Now if only she would stop unleashing hateful, dangerous, psuedo-science bullshit on the population.

She has some serious penance to do for her continued support of Dr. Phil among other quacks.

I love the term ‘salty’. Must incorporate into vocabulary.

Guys who sleep around maniacally are “acting out” and just need the love of a good woman. Women are sluts.

This needs more stars.

Bears are opportunistic feeders. Black bears, being somewhat smaller, are happy to dig in the dirt when hungry or strip vegetation bare. Brown bears, especially the larger ones like grizzlies, kodiaks and polar bears are also omnivorous but their diets tend more toward meat and carrion. Their sense of smell is as good…

My family went camping all the time and had assholes ask if any of us ladies were menstruating. My dad almost punched him while he yelled we’d be eaten by bears. My dad yelled his stupidity would kill him before the bears ate us.

The National Park Service (NPS) was scrambling for answers about why these attacks took place

A hungry brown bear or a shark will treat both genders of humans equally: as delicious food.

If you ask Stephen Herrero the author of “Bear Attacks, Their Causes and Avoidance” which is the bible of place like Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge (USFWS), Brooks Camp (NPS), the USFS on the ABC islands, and other well inhabited (by bears) locations, he could have shown you chapter and verse in multiple studies and…

...how the human race would possibly have survived if wild animals were constantly attracted to it...

Personally I don’t think I ever put any faith in the adage when I heard it growing up. I know that I heard it in Boy Scouts, and I recall posing the question how the human race would possibly have survived if wild animals were constantly attracted to it. Surely when animals outnumbered people in our prehistoric times…

There are similar restrictions in other cultures around the world. I find it somewhat horrifying, but also fascinating that different groups of people have come up with such similar restrictions on women.

I’ll just add that in these attacks fed/garbage bears were the problem. Most the time bears smell or hear humans they want to get the F away from you. Taking care of your toiletries and garbage and being loud, talking, singing is a good deterrent. The bears in these incidents have been ruined by human negligence “a…

I do fieldwork in the Canadian Arctic and Subarctic, where bears (black/brown/grizzly/polar, depending on where you are) are something you have to think about.

You got a lot of off-brand information in there.

Fuck bears. I no longer hike because of the danger from men.

I want to add that the patriarchal oppression of menstruating women is not the sole purview of white culture. I am a native woman and do not practice my tribe’s religion specifically because there is a huge constraint regarding periods. It’s infuriating and offensive to me but it’s still pushed as a ‘tradition’.…
