‘I’d heard about this stuff happening on the news,’ Taseen told me. ‘I just didn’t think it could happen to us.’

But Jocelyn, has something to offer that not a lot of women have.

He’s not taking a side necessarily one way or the other on any specific issue here

She can feel free to get the flu and die, but I’m getting my damn flu shot like a reasonable adult.

It turns out that Girl Scouts can only sell cookies outside a business if they get a permit

Girl scouts park in front of all the local grocery stores around here. Usually without any girls in sight. Not to mention the cubicle sales without any girls present. Just give her her dues. She actually did something rather than the super moms that usually do it for the kid.

I am tired of men defining real rape as “the level which I haven’t done to a woman”. The rape definition changes and doesn’t get believed because these men feel guilty as fuck because they knew in their hearts they’ve crossed lines and boundaries. Tarantino sits at home at night and lies to himself he’s not a rapist…

I’ve given Tarantino a lot more leeway than I ever should’ve because I love most of his movies and he’s the first director that I can remember putting on a pedestal. Between this and putting Uma Thurman in danger, however... I can’t defend him anymore.

Yeah, agree about the reaction to his words and attitude.

Not only did she explicitly say she didn’t want it in her deposition testimony, not only was she drugged, but having sex with a 13 year old is also a crime in France, where Polanski fled, and in Poland, where he was born, (and it was for both of them in the 70s too.)

There are no fucking words after that, none. He’s finished, done. I’ve heard some attempted defences of people over the course of the post-Weinstein saga but never anything so extraordinarily disregarding of what actually happened as this with Tarantino wanting to be a pedant about the legal definition of rape all of…

Prove it at the mid-terms. Please.

The acronym so nice, it deports you twice.

Are they also going to bust people wearing Ivanka’s knock-off shoe collection?

You have to admit, ICE is a much catchier and hipper acronym than SS ever was.

What the hell is ‘beautiful coal’?

Not fighting with you, but with all due respect, I can think in at least one scenario where that “mother” should totally have ever kept that kid: she gets the help she needs - and its an obligation of the State to provide! -, hopefuly recovers, and go on becoming a good mother. You call it “insanity”, I call it…

Trump and the GOP’s dismantling of the ACA, resulting in the loss of Medicaid expansion, cuts more than a million people off from access to drug addiction treatment programs.

I see that Diane Keaton is taking the Lena Dunham approach to things.
