me too, mostly because I think the real 'story' of Serial is how we look at cases like this, talk about them, make judgements about them, etc. and how we view the criminal justice system.

This is really the key thing: it's not that he's innocent. It's that he's not guilty of the charges based on the evidence given. HUGE difference if you give a damn about the basic philosophies of our fundamental legal rights.

Imma let you finish, but turkey pot pie is the best way to use thanksgiving leftovers of all time.

I've seen a few movies in which the story tries to keep the viewer guessing as to whether the supernatural nightmare is real or if it's part of the protagonist just losing their mind. Most of them do it very poorly. The Babadook is one of the few movies in which I really thought they pulled it off nicely; it's not…

Also, there was already an awesome live-action Cinderella movie and it was called Ever After and no matter how delightfully insane this cast is EVER AFTER WILL ALWAYS BE FIRST IN MY HEART.

Moreover, Conflict Kitchen's (largely conservative) pro-Israel critics are still propagating the frankly insane notion that the restaurant has some responsibility to include the perspective of both sides of the conflict.

if you want to donate I have a GoFundMe site set up for his legal expenses. I volunteer for Arnold and Love Thy Neighbor. I cook. And serve. I am also on the Board.

Do you know Snoop Dog? That guy who has put his wife through hell. Who openly loves porn and claims that he has pimped women out before? Not to mention that he is old enough to be Iggy's father. You know that guy? Isn't it so much easier to hate on this stupid white girl than you know, the misogynist that is not…

Christopher Pike's books were the best, omg.

Yes, but they're really bad for you. I casually mentioned it to my doctor and she nearly hit me over the head. They essentially fake your body into thinking that it is starving, so it releases endorphins, which is the only reason why you feel weirdly euphoric a few days in (people with anorexia report the same…

My freshman year of college, I made the mistake of dating a very serious born-again Christian. (I was raised both Catholic and Unitarian Universalist, I'm not sure what he was doing in the relationship either.)

This was not my proudest moment, but when I got dumped by a guy who had sworn eternal love just long enough to hook me and then stomp on my heart, I called a florist, had them cut the heads off a dozen long-stemmed roses and deliver the wrapped-with-a-ribbon box of stems to the asshole during a long business meeting…

Oh great. Golf clap. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH HER ORIGINAL FACE!

Exactly. Rent's fairly cheap, the metro-area is extremely diverse, and there's a thriving gay/lesbian community in Cleveland. It's hard to leave family (even when they're assholes) behind, but if there's ever a reason to do it, this is one.

Right? I live in Cleveland now and there's a very large black population here. Well, obviously bigger in the poorer areas (as is the case in EVERY city), but there are cool progressive neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city like Cleveland Heights, Beachwood, Ohio City which have a mixed race college student…

I had a Mirena (never been pregnant/given birth) and it was the WORST thing ever. I have a fair tolerance for pain (annual pap smears and 3 cervical biopsies were painless) and that insertion had me thinking any second I was going to pass out. The doctor inserted it only to have my body immediately push it out of…

I don't see the conflict that needs reconciling. Despite what idiots like Bill Frezza might think nobody reasonable would argue that simply being intoxicated precludes consent. I've had drunk consensual sex, I've had stoned consensual sex. If a woman wants to go out and get ripped and fuck someone that's her choice as…

From the excerpt on Elle's website:

Joyce Summers in Buffy. Kept her Chosen One daughter in check. Gave no shits about anyone except her family's safety. Only her mind could kill her.

Bra makers: please for the love of Christ make unlined bras for us 38D's and above. I don't need or want padding! Not even nipple covers. Don't care & don't want the added bulk. Thanks!
