and Candy is still a FUCKING JAM

Far more common than who thought? Because I’m pretty sure most women are not surprised by the news that when rapists get away with one rape, they go commit more. That’s what happens when a society doesn’t take rape as seriously as it should.

Please do this every week.

I remember the first time I read about this, I was so so so so so mad. My periods tend to be AWFUL, birth control or not, with hormonal migraines to boot. And finding out that I could have been avoiding them altogether was infuriating. I went on seasonique, which at least cut me down to four periods a year, and now I…

THANK YOU! I went to one of our district offices to pick up an item, and when I got there at 4:30 they were locked and everyone was leaving. I had to leave *early* to get there at 4:30! I never leave that early! Whatever, lol

Teachers make close to what you do in a corporate job?

I remember when I was in school, teachers mentioning that they took our homework and tests home to grade them after work was done, and that they did continuing education. I think that helped me have a lot of sympathy for them. I wonder if these people didn’t have teachers say things like that, or if they just forgot.

My high school history teacher had a second job as a bartender on the weekends. He probably made more money doing that than he did teaching, although I have no way to know for sure.

I wonder if America and Canada will ever step up to enact violence-against-women specific legislation. A woman who has been sexually abused or stalked or experienced domestic violence by a partner, should not have to suffer through the regular court system. It only ever gives power to the perpetrator - the opportunity…

BUT HOW HUMAN BE MORE THAN ONE IDENTITY SAME TIME? HOW WOMAN HAVE THOUGHTS? WHY WOMAN SPEAK? HOW IS BABBY FORMED? HOW MY NAME ANCIENT EMPEROR? TRUMP2016!

You know I’m torn on this! As a woman and person of color it’s great for ME. I mean how nice will it be to just be handed a high paying writers gig without doing any work at all or having any talent, you know? I could call up a few late night shows and have a job tomorrow, no resume or writing samples required!

when i heard albright’s statement, i agreed with her. there IS a special place in help for women who don’t help each other...very special indeed:

There are pockets of extreme, “third world” poverty all over our country, but they’re often hidden on the back roads that most tourists and travelers don’t see - or don’t notice. Tucked in between the million dollar cabins in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan are rusted trailers and mobile homes without running water.…

He PICKED YOU OUT FROM THE CROWD BECAUSE YOU WERE THE PRETTIEST OF ALL 6th GRADE GIRLS AND HE REMEMBERED WHEN JT HUNG THAT LETTER YOU WROTE ON THE TOUR BUS WALL WITH THE CAPTION, “SOME DAY”.

So FOB’s goal was to get me to rewatch the NSYNC vid instead of theirs, right? Because that’s definitely what I’m doing now. Also, I was at a parade last year and Lance Bass waved to me from his float throne. He didn’t wave to my spouse, or my friends, or the dozens of others around us. He waved to me. This might not…

If a white person goes on vacation and doesn’t get cornrows did they really go on vacation?

Shoe rampages? Shoe-spiracies? Something suspicious is afoot.

BUT HOW WILL I SMUGGLE IN MY SODAS

Once I left a comment describing the vagina as a self cleaning oven, and someone replied and got really pedantic about that couldn’t be technically accurate because of the mechanics of how a self cleaning oven actually works. It was... weird.
