The key is somewhere between PREPA and Whitefish. PREPA is bankrupt and has been, so it’s harder to get other utilities to help. OTOH if other organizations won’t get paid, then how does Whitefish expect to collect and pay their contractors? My guess is that the corruption part is assurances that the US Legislature…

Basically everything by Nnedi Okorafor! I like Book of Phoenix even better, which felt so cathartic. But Akata Witch is ace.

This was a really good article on a very sad story. I hope Moore’s family is able to get answers and those that help them don’t end up going to jail due to their sex worker status. It is ridiculous it is even a possibility and this sort of attitude/action helps predators stay out there.

The consequences of the neverending sexualization of the female body are varied and surprising.

Women dying is a feature, not a bug.

“I don’t see extensive trial experience as the sole factor in deciding whether a nominee is qualified,” wrote Grassley in a letter defending Talley’s nomination.

Once more with feeling: Women can commit sexual harassment and assault. There are women who are serial rapists. People assaulted by women are no less traumatized. They deserve justice just as much as those assulted by men.

Yeah when I read that sentence I was like... really? We’re recycling that lame explanation (“aww he/she is always like that, they should have expected it...”) now, in November of 2017?

I’m genuinely surprised the Allison Mack accusation has hit. This is the tip of a whole other iceberg, one that’s been just under the surface for years. Now I’m waiting for:

How would you feel if the person who sexually harassed you had people defending them all the time and calling you a liar? It happens to women all the time. I thought you and the people starring your comment would want to see it stop. But apparently believing victims only applies when the victim is from your tribe and…

Lingerie IS her uniform. Surely all her employees are aware if this before they apply.
