Tom Petty dies, but this piece of shit still gets to walk the earth? I hate this reality. Someone reset the Matrix.
Anyone who heard about his most famous rape (of Geimer) and didn’t think this was a scenario he had repeated numerous times before and after that with other victims is a moron.
Same, which would be easier if I was just a little more into women. My attraction to men is problematic.
I’m actually amazed this documentary is even happening. Talking about an unknown black woman’s rape. Damn. This is the history we’re supposed to forget (like it was 400 years in the past), even though she’s still alive. Even moreso we’re supposed to forget it because it happened to someone ordinary and it was…
My family, both sides, go back at least 8 generations in Alabama. I was the first boy that wasn’t born there (my aunt was born 9 months before I was...it’s long story). Years later, I asked my mom why I wasn’t born there and she said “after those white men bombed that church in Birmingham and killed them (4) little…
Say her name: Recy Taylor. In 1944, 24-year-old Recy Taylor and two friends were walking back from a late-night…
This is needed and so wonderful that it is happening. As an old guy who ate the free breakfasts that the BPP set up, I don’t believe you can find folk who grew up in Oakland during that time who don’t love/admire/respect the Panthers.
“...please (1) not extend the pop-up beyond its 6 week run ending in September, and (2) reach out to us for permission if you plan to do something like this again.”
As someone who used to make a lot of “inspired fan art,” that’s pretty much the most ideal Cease & Desist one could hope for.
Once upon a time, a poor peasant man stumbled upon one part of a very valuable two-part thing in land that his king had let him farm so he and his daughter wouldn’t starve, and he decided to give it to the king as a gesture of thanks. His daughter had a better grasp of human nature and logic than him and pointed out,…
Chin up, Erinn Hayes, this is probably a blessing in disguise. For starters, you don’t have to kiss Kevin James anymore.
Twenty-year-old aspiring hip-hop artist Deandre Harris moved to Charlottesville, Va., from Suffolk, Va., two years…
It doesn’t really matter who Locomotive Jones may or may not be. Realistically, all people can do is flag, report or dismiss. Maybe also alert other people to his trolling tendencies.
Women have taken male pen names to be taken seriously, to be read in the first place because of blatant sexism. I have nothing against these men doing the initials things, but it is not the same.
I’ve never seen any of these films (my age and my unwillingness to be triggered has prevented me), but I really wish there were more movies that talked about diet culture and how it leads to EDs.
The top one ain’t Storm. That’s from the upcoming Black Panther. That’s T’challa’s mom.
I keep being disappointed by the adaptations. Mrs. Whatsit has never been sufficiently dotty, never been the bohemian sort with the stripey socks, the eccentric maiden aunt who breezes through town and takes the kids on madcap adventures. Mrs. Who has no glasses in this one, and her glasses were important to the…
And she’s not the only one. She’s joined by the equally amazing Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) and Mrs. Whatsit (Reese…
Humans are complex, and especially writers. Some of the most eloquent, humble, achingly beautiful and admirable texts are authored by petty narcissists (at worst) or (at best) those with shall we say moody temperaments.
