You know what could be a thing of beauty - Creating a "stock story" using these fabulous stock photos - I'm sure stock mommy is probably suspicious of her birth control pills because clearly, it's effectiveness is questionable. Otherwise, she wouldn't have all those screaming kids with her defensive, couch-sitting…

this guy suddenly bursts into the room, dramatically waltzes up to us, and demands to know if we'd "seen his assistant."

Says the guy in the $4000 suit, come on.

Nobody puts Baby on the floor.

Karen Milton:

But! Does he sell monogrammed coffee thermoses?

Someone just went out of their way to drive to my house with his young son and return my wallet. I lost it last night at a diner and the hawk-eyed lad saw the logo on it (It's the Imperial logo from the Elder Scrolls games) and told his father.

WAITED FOR 2 SECONDS SO IT'S FAIR GAME OK as y'all know he came up last wednesday to see me and stayed until SUNDAY NIGHT. it was the best. we stayed up late every night talking/boning and had some Deep Conversations and got to know each other so well and we saw "frank" which was great, and we went to a mini music…

(Meanwhile, at the evil fortress of Game-Hating Feminism)

Totilo: I did just as you commanded, my mistress! I posted the story about the bomb threat on the same day a conservative feminist critic said something else about video games!

Anita: Excellent! With Kotaku under my evil feministy grasp of evil! I can continue…

Yes but if someone is writing an article on Ray and Janay Rice and why her victimology is so common, of course the article is going to focus in on female victims of domestic violence. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but please realize that your comment is completely unrelated to the topic at hand. Also, it makes…

I totally understand and in no way mean to say that only women are victims. Child abuse happens all too often as well. I covered numerous cases of child abuse in South Florida, and often the mother was jut as culpable as the father. But in this case, I focused on spousal abuse because that was what happened here.

Okay, I'll play. First, sticking up for yourself will get you killed. Pretty damn simple. Second, you stay because he threatens your children. Your parents. Your nieces and nephews. Your grandparents. He can and will hurt them. You stay and do anything to protect the ones you love. If you haven't lived with an evil…

I had to deal with some of these fuckers when they came to my campus on Wednesday, showing off pictures of dead fetuses. They screamed at me, and came uncomfortably close. They also told me my parent's interracial and interfaith marriage was going to go to hell. And that I dishonored them for being gay. So I made a…

Holy crap. I'm glad you're ok!

I went on Fark yesterday and saw a few comments about this. Things like "Too bad I will get banned for saying what I want" and "Oh, can't comment on this because my civil rights are being stomped on". I find it extremely telling of people when the only comment they can add to a story is a misogynistic one. If that…

See, this is why I LOVE my library. I work in the children's room of a major urban library, and although I am totes doxing myself, we have a full time social worker on staff. So when I notice that there are kids who are left unattended or under-supervised, or they are with a mom who appears to have all their earthly…

Um...where the hell is "Word Crimes"? If we're gonna do this, let's at least do it right.

Hang in there! You are needed, loved and wanted by more people than you know.
