People lose their relatives all the time and don’t get to bury a body, when their relatives died doing absolutely nothing wrong. THAT is awful. THAT is unjust. Leaving this dude where the Sentinelese put him? Well, I guess he’ll get his wish to “live among them,” as he told his adviser for this whole thing.

The answer to the problem of recovering his body is simply that they don’t get to do that. Any effort to recover this man’s body will further disturb these people and put them at risk. This man broke the law, and selfishly and stupidly attempted to force his religion on people who do not want it. Sometimes committing…

I should add, I don’t think anyone should be trying to retrieve his body.  His family needs to live with the fact that their son died being incredibly stupid, and that putting others in danger (including the very residents of the island) to retrieve the body is selfish.

Apparently he missed “pride” as one of the seven deadly sins.

I don’t feel bad for his family. They’re probably the ones that brainwashed him and made him think this was ok in the first place. This is the logical conclusion.

Fuck this guy and fuck anyone that wants to retrieve his body. I’ve been fortunate to work with a variety of indigenous communities (in strictly non-religious contexts, and sometimes in direct opposition to the local religious nutjobs) and don’t feel a shred of sympathy for anyone that supported this selfish,…

Here is a thing I wrote yesterday about this very article:

I’m struggling this week with a neighbor, a man in his 60s who has

You’re a good egg. I don’t think you meant to trigger something here; a very large number of us have had walls punched in our presence, and it’s very very scary and intimidating.

“But why don’t women speak up?!?! Why don’t they go the authorities??? All you have to do is go to the authorities!!!1!”

All the ways that society tells us black women don’t matter, regardless of race or pedigree. Imagine if a young white woman physician in a trauma center in Chicago was gunned down. All the headlines would be about her as you don’t get a “worthier victim” than that. But even when it is our best and brightest, we are…

I feel like domestic violence is not an adequate way to describe this. 

This is a very important take. A domestic abuser killed his ex-partner and also those who tried to respond. This isn’t a cop-killer who also killed “two female staffers.” And to say otherwise is once again dismissing the harm IPV and toxic masculinity has on women and our entire society. 

My heart hurts from this tragedy. When are we as a society going to take a long, hard, honest look at the pathology of men, a pathology that makes them feel entitled to take other people’s lives? Why is it an acceptable norm for men to take their rage, pain, and rejection out on other people? This idea that a man can…

1.) Why didn’t you??? I would have watched and made fun of that movie so hard.

She needs the Persky Process.

To me every face tattoo says: “Please save room in jail for me!”

Finally! Out with the fucking trash!

Of course Tyga isn’t picking up what Lindsay is putting down. Primarily because Tyga is looking for someone to pick up his bills and the only bills Lindsay is picking up are the ones that her Sheikh Du Jour leaves on her nightstand.

Good news: 6ix9ine (or whatever he’s calling himself nowadays) was arrested on federal racketeering charges. He’s definitely going to prison.
