Baseball is the only sport that actually looks like America.
You know....I don’t think I love this. Who is this aimed toward — teachers? Do we think teachers don’t try to intervene with troubled kids? Students? There were students interacting with this kid, and anyway, asking students to police the behavior of “creepy loner weirdos” is how you get bullying. (And I mean, say you…
I didn’t want Maria to act her humiliation, her rage. I wanted Maria to feel, not to act, the rage and humiliation.
It’s not just gonzo porn - there are hundreds of testimonies of women in the porn industry about being forced or coerced into acts they didn’t agree to, or having their pain/injury ignored, or being given drugs and alcohol to be able to tolerate a scene. Even “feminist-friendly” porn sites like kink.com have this…
Anyone who thinks the porn industry cares about women has not watched porn. This doesn’t surprise me in the least.
Well of course they’re in it for the paycheck - that’s why people have jobs.
Could we maybe also drop the idea that if you don’t wear make up you don’t care about how you look or that you don’t care about yourself in general?

Really fucking tired of people pretending like the same racist, sexist, homophobic shit that’s gone on forever is somehow ‘anti-establishment’ or ‘edgy.’ That is just the status quo.
If anything the electoral college disenfranchises red voters who live in blue states and blue voters who live in red states. More than 40% of Texas voters chose Clinton. Between 30-40% of California, Illinois and New York voters went for Trump. America has bad voter participation rates at least in part because the…
Jez should create a living document of all these stories. There are already hundreds and it’s been four days.
I donated to planned parenthood and then got a lecture from a family member about dead babies. So I donated again, double my original amount, in said family member’s name.
His #1 priority right now is trying to get the Inaugural Ball on a Trump Property so he can make some coin off of it.
Birmingham is the lone bright spot in a sea of stupid; we’re sort of the Austin of Alabama. When the rest of the state embarrasses us I can usually count on my hometown to do something rational.
Hm. Yep, just checked, and this is still our reality. But there are a handful of bright spots out there. For…
