These are kids; telling a trusted adult is not a “wasted step”, and it also allows her some accommodation from the school, so she doesn’t have to ride the same bus with him or whatnot. Give the girl a break- she did nothing wrong. No one can ever be a victim perfectly enough to meet everyone’s standards.

Yes. Fuck these guys. Victims don’t need “amnesty” from something that A. isn’t their fault B. is a criminal act that deserves justice. Fuck this place.

Does the word “amnesty” used in this case bother anyone else? The wording to me suggests that “well, you did something wrong but we’re willing to move past it.” That is not a good sentiment to express when referring to a sexual assault.

Utah’s one of those places I’d probably really like to live in if not for all the people there. Beautiful scenery, but easily the most unwelcoming state I’ve ever spent time in.

I can’t find it, but Reese Witherspoon has this amazing quote about how she doesn’t care that David Fincher wanted Rosamund Pike to star in Gone Girl rather than her. She stresses that it’s not a competition between actresses and other female creators, but that they are all there to support each other. I love, love,…

She inserted herself in the narrative.

Wow, that is huge. Most of us have never known a world without HIV and AIDS.

I’m going to watch this with my boyfriend, who is Italian and was living in Italy during this trial. He has a COMPLETELY different view of the whole trial than me because of the media there vs. here. He was like “wait, you mean that psycho American girl that had a crazy sex orgy and murder that girl?”

(Knox was even falsely told that she had HIV and encouraged to write a list of all the men she had slept with. The list was then released to the press and published across the world.)

Another option: it’s just a random coincidence and will have no bearing on your getting or not getting the job.

I fucking love Chicago. Even when I hate it (looking at you, February).

Microscopically we are all disgusting.

YOUR CHILDREN ARE BLACK, YOU BEAUTIFUL MORON! How are you going to vote for someone endorsed by the literal KKK?

Since my best friend moved up in tax brackets with her current job, she was flirting with the whole fiscal conservative/social liberal thing. All of us basically told her to stop being an asshole and she snapped out of it.

Caitlyn Jenner can go fuck herself.

Laura Wasser was Jolie’s lawyer when she divorced Billy Bob Thornton; clearly, Wasser did enough of a good job then that Jolie feels confident about using her again.

Maddox is a teen and all teens are bad.

Meanwhile, I told my therapist what mansplaining was this week and he (an older white dude) thought it was perfect and couldn’t believe he hadn’t heard what it was yet!
