Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…

I find the idea of trigger warnings commendable, but also sort of impossible to maintain in reality. I say this as someone who has PTSD and who has also taught at the college level. My PTSD is from childhood abuse, so my triggers are weird and often very general things that are unavoidable: doors opening suddenly, the…

I’m literally as Left as you can get—call me Communist, fine—but safe-spaces and trigger-warnings are the most fucked up, anti-intellectual, anti-liberal things I’ve ever heard of. George Orwell couldn’t have come up with better fascist props in his dystopian writing.

oh, millenials are going to "fix" things. can't wait for that.

Option #3 please. (His name is Michiel Huisman, BTW)

Good.

If one of your reasons for hating Taylor has to do with her legal battles over copyright infringement, you should go ahead and hate on every popular recording artist. This is true for (almost) all recording artists. They all have large legal teams that spend time (with software, nowadays) searching for and removing…

bae has been listed among the most generous celebs dozens of times. even if this is good for her image, this is not at all out of character for her. she’s donated millions since she found success.
