Is it naive of me to think that Azalea didn’t actually mean it in the shady way? In context of the quote, it sounds to me like she’s using it straight i.e. “She and I are not familiar with one another as human beings, vs. “She’s not famous enough for me to know who she is.”

Only a jerk tries to touch someone else’s pet without permission.

Here they are together.

An embarrassing report about the insane amount of unprocessed rape kits in New Orleans came out in 2014, and our DA “fixed” the problem by refusing to prosecute any rape cases without a sure shot of conviction (which is most of them) and threatening to jail rape victims for refusing to testify, all so he can boast

You know what would help that mold problem?

The problem lies in the roles that have been written throughout the history of the theater and how flexible directors and producers are about casting them. If you’re producing a revival of ‘The Caine Mutiny’ in the past no women and few if any minorities would’ve been cast at all. Today, you would logically expect

“A lot of musicals are set in the olden days when minorities were not really around”

51% of the population is female. Check fucking mate.

So many of my eating habits are controlled by my reflux! Fried food, soda, and sugary desserts all do a number on me. My system wants a low-fat, low-carb diet. Reflux is probably saving my life.

I get that. I didn’t get sober until I was 41 because of that. And mad love to you. I don’t know you and it’s not for me to say if you have a problem with alcohol or not but it is progressive. And the question becomes, how far down the elevator do you want to go? You can get off at any floor. Me? I went so far down

It’s one of the most diverse places in America! And because of that, the food can’t be beat. Plus, yes, also spider man 😎

YASS QUEENS

As a child I thought Jamaica, Queens was the only Jamaica. And that you could “Come to Jamaica and feel alright” by hopping on the LIRR.

Laguardia is a pretty big deal in NYC. I love Nicki Minaj, but she is not the most famous alumnus. Jennifer Aniston, Ellen Barkin, Adrien Brody, Liza Minelli, Al Pacino, etc., all graduated from LGHS.

In the 7th grade Tommy C had no interest in holding hands/potentially junior highish making out with me on a ride at Kings Island. I was so mortified I would have exited the ride any way possible, including jumping into the arms of bystanders. Might be projecting here. Dumb Tommy C.

Someone should make a parody where it’s an argumentative husband and wife trying to set up a tent.

I’m not sure knowing the book puts you on notice for seizure-inducing strobe lights during the play.

Usually I avoid the hell out of anything that’s labeled “torture porn” but I’m genuinely curious how they are managing to freak people out with a stage performance.

Far more common than who thought? Because I’m pretty sure most women are not surprised by the news that when rapists get away with one rape, they go commit more. That’s what happens when a society doesn’t take rape as seriously as it should.

Yep. The majority of the retractions aren’t “I was raped, jk just said that for fun!”... they might be more like, “I was raped, now I’m ostracized in this small town, my parents think I’m sullied and dirty, and I’m getting harassed by people who think it’s impossible that the rapist could do such a thing.”
