I was on a women’s college rowing team and the men’s team gave out an award to the boy who slept with the most ‘pounds’ of women. Literally, reducing multiple women to nothing but weight. They gave out this award in front of their coach. Then the coach turned around years later and pretended to be shocked when the…

Ellie, your take is bad. If flake actually believed any of his rhetoric he would be holding up judges, demanding trump divest from his businesses, release his tax returns, etc etc. Flake is just polishing up his resume w/the Villagers as a “conservative man of conscience” TM! so that Flake can make the sunday shows…

Just here for the comments:

she was young. it was 2012. the conversation was different.

Yea, though I drink myself through the valley of the shadow of Drumpf, I will fear no evil: for Michelle art with me; thy fascinator and thy tasteful sheath dresses by POC designers, they comfort me.

The thought of Michelle in a fascinator is all that’s sustaining me during these dark times.

@Angela Wang, I think you are me (or maybe I want to be you?). That Biore rich e$$ence is the only sunscreen I wear on my face and Under The Banner of Heaven made me freak out all through November. I read Devil in the White City right after, but honestly after fundie Mormon ritual killings I wasn’t even phased by a…

Didn’t know Richard Spencer and Cruella de Ville had a child together, but I’m glad he’s serving time. Ms. Scott is too good.

Lena Dunham is trash. She is garbage. No one should be surprised. Is anyone surprised?

I’m not surprised that Lena Dunham decided to defend a rapist. Lena is just an asshole. I’m glad Asia Argento called her out on the bullshit.

An attack on the Commander is an attack on Gilead, blessed be the fruit. Or something like that.

“I believe it is time to speak up on behalf of all heterosexual males”.

I work on drug lawsuits. Narcotics isnt technically the legal term, but the law can lump marijuana into controlled substance violations that reference narcotics. Narcotic are imprecisely and wrongly defined, legally speaking.

Can I just note for the record that not only has this guy never argued in a trial in district court, but he’s also never argued a MOTION? Sen. Feinstein nailed him on this. It is stunning for a federal attorney to never have done that. I work for his equivalent in a northeastern state (I.e. at another U.S. Attorney’s…

It’s sad how deep into running you need to be to truly appreciate this sort of effort. Anybody on the couch can say “fuck that’s crazy” but unless you’re on the road 40 miles a week you’re probably not capable of understanding how much everything hurts sometimes. And at 40 miles a week you’re lower than whale shit on…

When NPR read this tweet out loud this morning, my first thought was that Trump is knowingly inciting his deranged supporters to stalk or assassinate Hillary. Maybe that’s paranoia...

The “DO SOMETHING!” tweet was read out loud on NPR when I was driving to work, and my first thought was that Trump is intentionally inciting one of his deranged supporters to assassinate Hillary. Then I reprimanded myself for being paranoid, then I realized I’m probably not that paranoid.

Not to mention that if every woman who’s been assaulted/harassed is supposed to post ‘me too,’ it’s work that almost every woman in the world has to do. Maybe I’m just cranky but I’ve wanted to post something like, ‘Hey, according to stats and reality, sexual harassment and assault happens to literally every woman.’…

#MeToo just makes me tired, because as usual, it’s women doing all the work to raise awareness. Wake me up when men decide to take action.
