Did you guys watch her speech last night? It was pretty damn good. And she’s really finding the right tone for this election. She seems like your cold as steel Aunt Hillary who, somewhere deep down, has a heart of gold. You’d trust her with the nuclear codes. And you gotta know she cares about your reproductive…

Yeah and also that a convicted (FUCKING CONVICTED!) rapist is not a danger to others! MOTHERFUCKER HE HAS BEEN CONVICTED OF BEING A DANGER TO OTHERS!

This girl is a BEAUTIFUL writer and it’s a real fucking shame that this is the way we have to find out about her gift.

Yes, it’s an outrageous statement. He hasn’t admitted any culpability therefore it’s easy to conclude that he WOULD do it again as he doesn’t see that he did anything wrong. He is most definitely a danger to society and likely to re-offend. This judge is as bad as the rapist.

Yep. That quote from the judge -

Off the bench, judge.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

I’m fine with Bernie staying in the race to accumulate votes and show Democrats that there is broad, national support for a progressive agenda. I am not alright with him staying in the race in a desperate bid to win.

You wanna know how to succeed in life? Quit giving people the satisfaction of your reaction. Treat everyone you meet with kindness no matter how much they’ve wronged you. Be the bigger person. People are going to be assholes and there is not one single solitary thing you can do about it except for controlling yourself…

Up next!

Next will be a 9-month required waiting period.

Former SSM participant here. I can tell you that shit is CRAY! We would have small group sessions where “International” would ask us to explicitly detail our experiences masturbating (alone and with partners) and offer us feedback... I left very shortly after that.

Fascinating article, Anna! I’m just going to leave this here, because I feel like this fits all of the following criteria:

I’m always astounded that addiction management in this country focuses so entirely on AA. If it works for you, super! But, it doesn’t work for most people. Meanwhile, Naltrexone has been around for years, is significantly more effective than AA, and almost NO ONE prescribes it in the US. It’s actually insane to me.

Cool thing of note. Paul Song’s wife is Lisa Ling. Lisa Ling’s sister was once kidnapped by North Korea. And you know who traveled to NK to secure her release? Bill fucking Clinton. Yep, the husband of the woman he just called a whore.

What kind of normal human being even whips out the word “whores” to use, unless they have some bizarre sexist way that they view a very real problem in government? It’s not a common word. It shouldn’t leap to mind for anyone, except those who conflate sexuality with corruption on a very core level. It’s not even…
