From the BBC: “What is particularly disturbing is that the attacks appear to have been organised. Around 1,000 young men arrived in large groups, seemingly with the specific intention of carrying out attacks on women.”http://www.bbc.com/news/world-eur…

White women can’t be raped by POC. Rape = unwanted sexual contact + power.

The right wing is latching onto this as a pretext to discriminate against all Arab immigrants and asylum seekers. And that’s fucked up. But that doesn’t make these men’s backgrounds entirely irrelevant either because this was an organised attack and because if you’ve ever traveled to the Middle East or North Africa,…

I tell you I come from the middle east, and when someone tells me that our culture is not more macho blabla I feel SO disrespected, because I feel treated like a small child that can’t take criticism. Taking my culture seriously means judging it according to the same standards everyone else is judged. My mom, my…

This is true. When I was living in Europe, the worst street harassment I ever experienced was from Middle Eastern, Arab and African men. I wish it weren’t the case but it’s true.

Hi, normal lurker, first time commenter, and German.

He PICKED YOU OUT FROM THE CROWD BECAUSE YOU WERE THE PRETTIEST OF ALL 6th GRADE GIRLS AND HE REMEMBERED WHEN JT HUNG THAT LETTER YOU WROTE ON THE TOUR BUS WALL WITH THE CAPTION, “SOME DAY”.

I did just fine with Wario. His extra mass would send smaller carts (like yours - I bet you used Toadette) sailing off the course when he’d collide with one after using a mushroom boost.

I mean, Ted Cruz is the actual worst ever, but I chuckled at his response here. Solid “Dad joke” answer tbh.

I just turned 30. And it makes me very sad that I’m considered an old now. Very very very sad. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to throw on the first Now that’s what I call music while I flip through a coffin catalogue. Do we think a white coffin is tacky? I’ve got a lot of decisions to make.

Caitlin and Kris should be in jail for handing over their kid to a child predator. Yeezus I think Kylie aged out of his preference.

Emma Roberts and Evan Peters are definitely back together, which makes me happy for reasons I can’t quite articulate.
