Stop with the naming of winter storms already, This one is not named Taylor, in spite of what anyone tells you. 

If you're going to steal, use a tax return, not a gun. 

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

Latoya said (if you google it you may be able to find it) that she and her sister Rebbie were sexually abused by their father. Rebbie got the worst of it and moved out at 16 which is when he started abusing Latoya (to a lesser extent, based on her story). I would not even remotely be surprised if Joe abused Michael or…

Uh, yeah they are...from a fellow CSA survivor. Switch your POV and keep in mind the PTSD/Anxiety/bouts of crippling Shame/self deprecation...none of which is easy to get a handle on for the CSA far more a “non” CSA to wrap their heads around. So again...Yes anyone who can see past their own “drama” and still see or…

Adding this hour was brilliant. Oprah really managed to connect the harrowing story, carefully told in the documentary, to the experience of other victims; to the millions of child sexual abuse survivors whose abuser wasn’t famous, by showing how the pattern of grooming is essentially the same (ie the story told by…

I think that’s probably pretty common. Not only did the parents of both of these men utterly fail them, but enablers often feel like safer/easier targets for victims’ anger than the abusers. That anger is a lot less tied up in the guilt and shame they feel about their abuse. Plus, the dynamic between abused and…

I find it noteworthy that both of these men are angrier with their mothers than they are with Jackson.

I didn’t know how profoundly After Neverland was going to impact me. Really wish I hadn’t watched it. There was childhood sexual abuse in my family that I thought had been neatly tucked away but this film ripped that fucking wound right open. I doubt I’ll get a good night sleep for a long while.

Wonder if he’ll have to sell his collection of Limp Bizkit memorabilia to pay his legal fees. 

I’m not buying that. She had to know Johnny was a trainwreck for years.

Instead of dice, I use trivia questions or homework questions (with my kids). If the player gets it right, they pass what ever challenge - if they get it wrong they get strikes equal to the sides of the dice they would have used for the game. When they answer incorrectly, they fail the test and remove a strike which…

“I don’t think most Americans, in their heart, want to be given something,” said Trump, whose job came from her father.

Please read some history. Those boomers are people like John Lewis, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Elena Featherstone, Audre Lorde, Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, Angela Merkel, Oprah Winfrey and also people like Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Donald Trump.....

I'm a little pissed off at the adults of the Sunrise Movement who edited the video and used these kids as pawns. Listen, Sen. Feinstein isn't perfect, but she is far more progressive than some of the other asshats in the Senate. Liberals shouldn't be hacks who edit video to vilify anyone, it makes you like…

I think you meant “Gen X”. But that’s ok, we’re used to being invisible. 

This is an incredibly unfair assessment. He can also talk about issues important to young white men.

It’s like when they have CGI characters in movies and they talk about the “uncanny valley” with the eyes. Somehow she managed to do that with a smile

East Bay is the best! That’s were I live (formerly Oakland, now El Cerrito), but work in SF. I spent 8 years dating in the SF bay area, and it’s mostly not so great. I feel the economic disparity issues, I was pretty broke when I was single, like I could pay my bills, but barely had anything left. So going on a date…

I spent six of my “prime” dating years dating in and around the East Bay. I lived in various cities in the East Bay but went on dates with/dated people from the North Bay to the South Bay and everywhere in between.
