...of the 234 women recently rescued by the Nigerian army after being abducted by Boko Haram last year, a staggering number of them—214—are pregnant.

Well, there’s a big, fat wake-up call to anyone who doesn’t believe rape is a tool of war or that access to and control over one’s own reproductive care (including abortion) is a human right.

We need actual screening & a throrough psych eval before we give these guys a badge. Hiring Cousin Merle & Uncle Geech because they're too pissed off & unstable to get into the army isn't helping anyone. It's making a sham of our justice system. These guys are just bullies who get off on any amount of authority.

And, meanwhile, the couple who was caught on camera having sex on the beach in Florida is looking at 15 years. Yup, makes total sense.

“Howell also said the woman was getting regular meals and was not malnourished. She reportedly did not appear to be overly physically abused”

Four years for rape and kidnapping.

The Young Turks just did a report about WHY the family has been asked to delay their civil suit: in case the city ever gets around to charging the officers, because the officers might say something in the course of the civil suit that means they could be held criminally liable. I shit you not. They are asking the…

I can’t read about Tamir Rice without crying. It’s so awful. And now this. I admire his mother’s restraint. I think if he were my child, I’d want Cleveland to be a smoking ruin and to drink out of the skulls of the police officers who shot him. People say rioting isn’t the answer, but it depends on what the question…

OKAY THAT’S NICE BUT CAN WE ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT FAN BINGBING IS QUEEN HERE PLEASE

“Here, we see a server remove the packaging from a frozen cheesecake that arrived on truck this morning to be thawed in a cooler. And so begins and ends our tour of Obscene Selection of Cheesecakes.”

I’m so jealous, these are AWESOME! I promised my grandmother I would use the cake topper she made for my parent’s wedding even though I absolutely hate it. It’s a legit ostrich egg, on a spinning, musical platform, and it opens up. WHY?! It was the only thing I really let my (super traditional) family have a say in…

I’m Chinese & my husband is Korean. To simplify things on our wedding weekend, we didn’t do any traditional Chinese or Korean wedding rites. But we gave a nod to both our individual heritages via our caketoppers: me in a traditional Chinese wedding garment, and he in a traditional Korean wedding garment:

My wife drew the cake topper and included our dog (who was also our ring bearer), our cat, and our hedgehog. My dad cut out the wooden shape and I used Mod Podge to stick the drawing onto the wood. Photograph by Yaritza Colon Photography.

Our cake topper is now our Xmas tree topper. Added Maggie after the kid was born

I’m a knitter, so I knit a tiny bride and tiny groom and affixed them to a small slice of wood, which was actually from a set of coasters I found on etsy. I glued a lid from a can of something (beans? who knows) to the bottom so the wood would not sit directly on the cake.
