Thank you!

Here's the video, just because:

Because they know exactly what that report is how? Do you know how voices work? That couple is far enough back that they can't hear what she's saying... and that's not a chokehold - it's an embrace. Hell, it's entirely possible that couple has NO idea who Garner is. Yes, even in NY where we get, gasp, a whole lot of…

Everytime someone writes another article about how the entire country is racist, whites are privileged, and "the system" is Fascist, it gives another young black man a reason to believe that he can't succeed in this country, and an entire race of people to blame for it. If you care about helping black people then why…

Not going to lie, I absolutely hate that you include Michael Brown in this... what happened to Garner is disgusting. What happened today is outrageous and disgusting. But on Brown:

So what? Why should everyone be on the same page at all times? This is lazy. You want to talk about the protest, then go get a story about the protest.

All the angry people should've VOTED last month. Instead, we're about to fill the halls of government with MORE of the kind of people that have brought you these injustices.

As said to flafafooey: It's an illusion. He's on his side so that's the outer part of his left thigh. Then the leg appears to disappear at a weird bend off the edge of the table but it's just going behind his pants which are lowered to just below the knees (at the top left of the photo below the blue chair in the…

Poor Donner. Never welcomed at the Party.

I AM CRYING WAY TOO MUCH

Those are both seriously beautiful quotes, thank you for sharing.

That little pug struggling to get the ball on the couch. I feel you little pug, I feel you.

Thank you for writing this Rebecca. Purm was also a badass feminist and loved Jezebel.

I work in the Minneapolis ad community* and this story has ripped through us like a tornado these past months. If you haven't already, I highly suggest you check out Nora's blog. It will make you cry but it will also make you laugh more than you could ever think. And sometimes that's just what you need. Real talk and…

Another hero falls....

PS Assuming there are multiple fathers is not, per se, a judgment that the mom is a slut. I have zero moral issue with women having kids with multiple fathers.

No it's not "equally possible". I work representing kids in the foster care situation. The majority of time you see this pattern, there are multiple fathers.

There is a wide age difference between the kids, with the oldest being 14 and the youngest being one she is still pregnant with, AND the oldest didn't immediately call the dad when faced with abandonment. I'd imagine if they all had the same dad, the father would still be present pretty often - as in, often enough to…

I am thinking in this situation, it is more like to be "their fatherS" than "their father".

Sent to jail for abandoning her kids? That's rewarding candy theft with ice cream.
