What are you talking about this party sounds rad

I posted this as a reply, but thought I’d share it in case anyone else wants to read it.

Hellooo! Scarian here. I realize that you have no reason to believe a stranger telling a highly improbable story on the internet, but I do want to affirm: I really did have this story told to me by my childhood best friend’s college roommate. It was in Kansas in 2000! We were listening to Jars of Clay when she told us…

Fun read, and also, kind of cool to think you might have a kitty grim reaper / personal rainbow bridge concierge service in that house.

Loved this one, not because it was the spookiest, but because of your verbal acuity. Nice work. 

This story is true, but names have been changed to protect my password verification questions.

Years ago, I was living in an apartment with my cat Coco. We lived there happily many years, but I wanted a dog too so I bought a house with a yard. Being an old fellow, Coco was upset by the move and was especially freaked…

My kid started in-person (responsibly socially distanced, partially remote) school this week and instead of doing the drillion things I need to having the house to myself for the first time since fookin March, I’ve just been refreshing this page all day....

Jesus tap dancing Christ. That’s fucked up.

*this*

“Any industry that has that much power and is that competitive, because after a while it starts to become, ‘Well, who can take the most abuse?’” she said.

precisely, it’s not her place, nor should we expect a victim of a separate assault to have to put themselves in that situation again. The most difficult thing sometimes to come to terms with is that the justice people come to expect out of these situations is rarely what happens.

I wonder if they interviewed Tatum O’Neal for this.  You wanna talk about a messed up child hood.  When she got nominated for an Oscar, and her father didn’t (for Paper Moon) he punched her.  She subsequently went to the Oscars (where she won) alone.  Neither of her parents went.  Ryan O’Neal is such garbage.  

this isn’t really so black and white. It doesn’t mean shit sometimes to come forward, that’s the sad fucking reality. She can lose everything, go through her own trauma again as a potential victim of abuse, and then there is still no justice served. Yes you can hope for the best, but victims know the reality that the…

Bryan Singer. It absolutely mind f*cks me that he’s free out there. And only God knows how many others. 

Rachel-Wood has really grown into a very thoughtful person. People are quick to harp on celebrities, but I do feel despite the money, you are very powerless. It’s a church we all congregate to because it does fill a certain portion of our spirt but we all know the extreme abuse that takes place behind closed doors. I…

This whole industry is a cesspool. I keep waiting for a #MeToo level reckoning to come, yet here we are still talking about abuses that have occurred seemingly since The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat and we’re still talking masking abusers that “everyone” knows that no one will name. It’s fucking depressing.

>Corolla is still that guy.  

The spin on this story is heavy-handed and confusing (at best).

Yes. He only changed his tune when he was personally affected. That’s not to belittle the fact that I think he is fairly genuine today, but we should also be honest about what seems to be the fact that had it not happened, he could have and possibly would have continued blindly ignoring injustice. I would like him to…

You’re not wrong. And I’d also add in: this was how society was in the 1990's and early 2000's. Yes, there was a spectrum, and yes, The Man Show branded itself as being further along that Bell Curve than, say, Late Night with Jay Leno.
