I agree with you about the shoddy journalism part. I just discovered the podcast Undisclosed put on by Rabia. Its a group of 3 lawyers, admittedly biased for sure, going over all the evidence and finding major discrepancies, one of which was just used as the basis of appeal (omg I am so NOT a lawyer). If they are…

I feel like no one else listens to Undisclosed. The stuff Sarah left out of the Serial podcast pretty well exonerates Adnan. :/

Counterpoint: Serial was bad, it should have easy to conclusively prove Adnan didnt do it. The Undisclosed podcast has been much better at that.

The average number of partners for Millenials is 8? Like ever? My friends and I must be making up for whole platoons of celibate-until-marriage fundies.

My brother was the result of an unplanned pregnancy. My mom was pretty upfront about it, but in a kind way. That still didn’t stop me as a kid from tormenting my brother over it.

excuses i've heard for trying to get away with not paying for a lap dance:

A gun in the home is 22 times more likely to be used to kill or injure in a domestic homicide, suicide, or unintentional shooting than to be used in self-defense.

My cat loves all food. He's also a horrible mooch and just generally a butt who refuses to learn good manners. He will climb ALL OVER YOU if you have food, just trying to get at that food. And then he tries to grab the plate. Or will smack your fork as you bring it to your mouth. And if you try to spray him with water…

How does she "know he didn't mean it in that type of way" and why does that matter?

Part of what makes his statement so sad is that it's pretty clear that he was using "slut" as a random synonym for "girl" or "woman." Her response gives me hope, though.

Unshaved bushes are beautiful and I will not ever listen to anything else.

Knitters & crocheters (I know because I'm both) love talking about how annoying it is when randoms ask you about your hobby on public transport. Like "hello, I'm not doing this as some kind of creepy PUA icebreaker, I have to get this damn shawl finished by tomorrow for my stupid frenemy's crappy wedding for assholes.…

Topically irrelevant: when I was in the hospital and on a high dose of steroids, I started hallucinating and thought my IV machine was saying "gulag" over and over.

All I could think of while watching the video was "... but, if she's crocheting she wouldn't have needles. She would have a hook. Why would he write that?! WHY".

I have knitted and crocheted in public spaces and on public transit. Place the bag between your feet and get over yourself.

I did crocheting for like a month in high school. I GET IT

Can we also talk about old ladies who think their purse needs the window seat? Or anyone else who thinks the window seat next to them is best empty? Oh, or dudes who feel that 'The doorway' is the best place to stand to ride transit? Or 'Shit head sitting in the accessibility seats and doesn't see the person with…

In all fairness, the MTA didn't include crochetspreading in their Courtesy Counts campaign so how was she to know?
