I fucking love this theory!

Oh shit!! Well I’m glad those poor people finally got the proper burial rites. But wow that must have been scary. My mother tells a similar story; the footsteps coming up and stopping. It didn’t happen to her, I think, maybe her older sister? I must ask her. But spooky as hell!

Wow, that’s amazing! That’s how I want to go, age 101!

This story is so beautiful! How lovely of her to do that for your husband’s grandfather <3

THIS is what I come to this contest for! Damn.

Yup, here’s the defense fund: https://www.gofundme.com/hz8sxq

I keep thinking Fleetwood Mac are over their petty feuding days as they get older and mellow out, and they keep surprising me with how much feuding energy they’ve got left in them! I would be more upset by this except I did get to see them (twice!) with the Stevie-Lindsey-Christine lineup on their last tour, which was…

This person went on about “a normal man would have his life ruined”. There was a case here (Ireland) where a big muscular man (bouncer) was literally caught BY TWO POLICE OFFICERS over the semi-conscious body of an injured young woman, and half the men in the town lined up in court to shake his hand, filing PAST the…

Many many women, most of them white, genuinely believe that as long as they play by the Rules, it will never happen to them, and that everything awful only happened to Dr Ford because she made bad choices and/or got drunk and/or lied. They don’t want to upset the status quo; money and their male relatives’ power are…

Universities get a ton of post anyway and honestly in my experience are not all that worried about internal post security, so if it doesn’t all fit in her pigeonhole or letterbox, they’ll probably just fling it all into a bucket or something tbh! I’d say go for it!

And yet there are still people saying “but what about the man?” and “it’s hard to know who to believe, she seemed to have an agenda” and, just today, to my friend, on social media: “well very rich powerful men might get away with it, but all this is very frightening for normal men, because anyone could say anything…

It’s not that they don’t believe it was a virgin birth; they consider carrying a child that isn’t her husband’s child a “sin”, and technically “cheating”, and that Joseph was well within his rights to cast her off but was so glorious and magnanimous that he performed the miracle of Forgiving A Woman and kept her and…

And I’d be prepared to bet that a lot of the not-awful white woman demographic are queer white women and disabled white women and immigrant white women. I’d say cis, straight, abled white women are a very comfortable majority right-wing anti-(meaningful)-feminist, Republican, conservative nastiness.

I’m falling around laughing here, I literally have tears in my eyes. A minor stabbing, he cried, everyone thought it was hilarious, even his dad wasn’t on side?? Amazing!! Well done!!

Or they find one to break...

They’re hearing an immigration case NEXT WEEK. 

I’m really interested in the idea of raising the number of seats. I’m envisioning a Supreme Court seats arms race playing out over the next, like, 20 years, the Dems increase it to 11, so the Repubs increase it to 15, so the Dems increase it to 21...

The study I was thinking of was actually from Britain, so idk maybe Americans ARE eating more and that’s why their rise in obesity is faster than Britain’s, but either way, there are tons of other factors at work than calorie-input alone.

There’s a difference between inspiration / parody / allegory and straight up copying whole characters, relationships, concepts, etc, writing obvious fanfic and find-replace the names. I personally don’t think it _should_ be illegal to sell fanfiction, but as things stand, Meyer would have had a case. She chose not to…

I don’t think anyone’s going to see this but I have to tell my Being Fat Near A Doctor stories.
