Hopefully she’s a former friend. Although, she can’t be that good of a friend if she’s letting Andrew walk around with his hair parted like that.

“A female friend reported Andrew Smith”

Yup, I randomly saw a video Vice posted on YouTube covering gay and trans Trump supporters and it’s like an episode of the Twilight Zone come to life.

Yep.

That is SO GROSS and so wrong on every level. Fuck Yoffe. I never really had an opinion about her, but now, blechhhh.

God can people please learn to not equate getting fired from a job with having your life ruined?

Yoffe has always straight-up misrepresented sexual misconduct stories. I remember one specifically where a young woman was performing oral sex for the first time on a guy she liked when she discovered with her tongue that he had an STI he hadn’t told her about. She stopped immediately and wanted to leave. He wouldn’t…

Her reactions re: sexual assault were just so bizarre it’s hard not to wonder where the hell they were coming from. I still remember that nightmare of a Dear Prudence letter where a letter-writer who was clearly suffering a lot while trying to sort out issues of consent with her husband, and Yoffe responded by…

She is such a self-righteous shit-heel. When Daniel Ortberg took over Dear Prudence, it took me a long time to even think about reading the column, because all I knew it as was “that place where Emily Yoffe calls women sluts”. She’s a complete and utter Serena Joy who is so filled with fucking malice that she’ll…

also because she remembered a 2013 story in which Yoffe baldly argued that college women should “stop getting drunk” to solve the problem of campus sexual assault.

“I have seen more than one mother throw her kids under the bus because of a man.”

To his credit, Karpf seems to have some self-awareness about his position as a white, male, tenured professor:

Don’t forget you can dismiss your trolls.

I mean, you are aware people call suicide hotlines right? They do have to want to call the number, yes, but making it something you don’t have to look up will surely help some people.

Yeah. The obvious bullshit right-wing gun nut response is “People can kill without guns. Are we going to ban baseball bats and knives?”

No, motherfucker. You’re missing the point. Of course people will still kill each other. They’ll just have to try a lot harder to do it, and their success rate will be exponentially…

It may have made no difference to her. However, after events like this there are people who have been on the edge and may see this as proof that going through with it is something someone else was OK with. The number isn’t for the dead woman or her children, obviously. It’s for anyone else who is closing in on a…

And the decision is final once you’ve executed it. If you take pills, someone can find you, you can puke them up, you have time to be saved. With a gun it’s just over.

Son’s job called the father when he failed to show for work and his supervisor could not reach the son or his mother... so they called the father.  

“but judging from social media, the family appeared to have lived a charmed and proud life.”
