So, let’s get something straight. A private, female citizen came forward to tell the country about her experience with sexual assault because she felt it was her duty to do so in order to give the people in charge a clear picture of the man who they were about to put on the highest court in the land for a lifetime…

In the UK growler is slang for vulva and I have no idea what it means in your post.

Late to this party but chiming in anyway: In high school, I was thrilled to be asked to the homecoming dance by one of the star football players. The plan was to meet up after the game, then head to the gym for the dance. When I got to our designated meeting place, I was surprised to see that his entire family—mom,…

How do some of these sound so much like failed auditions for being humans?

A guy I knew from high school. Found me on fb when we were about 28/29. He wanted to get dinner. Ok, sure. After the meal had arrived, he got a phone call that sounded serious. He asked the caller, “Are you ok? Do you need me to come?” I thought, “No way. This m-effer is pulling the fake emergency call on me!” He got…

On one sunny day in August, I’d just received notice that my new job was moving me to Hawaii, and I was in a particularly good mood even at my energy-sucking retail job, where I’d just given my 2 weeks. So I was very quick to chat with every customer, including one who circled back after making a purchase and asked me…

I was an adult woman and an adult man took me to a Buffalo Wild Wings located inside a movie theater on our first date, but we weren’t going to a movie. This was 2008-ish, so early enough that most people did not have smart phones and therefore didn’t necessarily have a camera in their pocket. After the server takes…

Yeah-- I went on a date with a guy from Newfoundland (just to paint a linguistic picture) who sprung it on me later that he was a supporter of Stephen Harper, and didn’t believe in abortion. I blanched and said I should go. He tried to kiss me and I deaked and walked away. Later, he angrily messaged me and told me I…

First Date: He took me to a great dinner, nice place, and during asked the waiter how much longer dinner would take, we had a show to get to. I, having no idea about the show, asked what we were seeing. He said he was taking me to the newly opened high class strip joint. I am young, I am impressionable, I have never…

Hi there... history called and would like you to read it. Lincoln has as much to do with these Republicans as Plato does.

People have argued with me before (and I don’t disagree) that the way you perceive salt and sugar can be conditioned. Like, if you never eat candy, apples start to taste very sweet. If you mostly eat undersalted food, it probably tastes fine. Where this discussion breaks down for me is that there’s a huge chasm…

Turns out doxxing a public official is highly illegal

I AM SO DONE WITH HIPSTER TACOS. Sometimes they are tasty but it is 100% TRASH that they’ll charge like $6-7 for EACH!!! I had the pleasure of visiting Austin a few years ago and ever since then I’ve just been mad at overpriced, underflavoured bullshit so many places try to pass off around here (Toronto.)

The trial fucking enraged me. Kobe had his scumbag lawyer “accidentally” use the accuser’s full name in open court half a dozen times just to make sure it got out there so legions of unhinged fans would make her life a living hell until she gave up and went away. And it fucking worked. The judge threatened to hold her…

Easy way to sort out the poseurs from the legit stuff:

This has always been how Detroit has thrived.

The best thing you can eat in Detroit isn’t some artisanal doughnut or vegetable carpaccio or pork belly sliders—it’s a freakishly good $3.38 egg roll filled with corned beef and cheese

“Striking is the apology-statement’s tone: self-flagellating and ingratiating, with a heady patriotic flair.”

Anita Hill should/could have been on the Supreme Court. If Thomas had not sexually harassed her she may have stayed on, had an illustrious career in law and on the bench and we could have been talking about confirming her. In all the discussion about destroying men, the loss and shattered dreams of women is never…
