Actually I have trainings with the Columbia Title IX office every year as part of my position and yes, they’re all full of shit and are making no changes whatsoever to try to do better by assault victims. I literally ask about this every year and their main concern is getting sued or losing federal funding, that’s it.…

I’m not here to debate the case with you, I don’t give any fucks what rape apologists think of it. He assaulted multiple people but Sulkowicz is the bad guy, yeah. You can fuck right off with that, save it for your MRA circle jerk.

It literally just describes Sulkowicz’s latest project and puts it in context. There is no part of the article that comments on the quality of the art itself or Sulkowicz as an artist, so I’m not sure where you’re seeing “undeserved gravitas.” You all are getting your knickers in a bunch because Sulkowicz is getting…

Only among asshole rape apologists.

“Waaaaaaahhhhhhh a rape victim made some art and got some attention for it life is so unfair and this affects me so much personally that I’m going to go on a news blog that has a clear history of supporting this artist so I can whine about how unfair it is to people who I know don’t give a shit about my victim blaming…

I never said anyone couldn’t criticize their work, you’re putting words in my mouth that have nothing to do with the actual statements I made in my comment. But the fun part is that others get to point out when that criticism is bullshit. The OP’s “criticism” of that piece was that there was nudity, activity, and it…

The trolls on this article are fucking gross. If you all are as disdainful toward Sulkowicz as you claim to be, maybe consider directing your energies toward some hobbies or something useful instead of obsessing over them in the comments section of a website you clearly don’t even like. Guess what - there are…

Emma doesn’t have your attention, yet somehow you focused on them enough to read this article and make some bullshit comment. Oh, and you’ve worked with trauma survivors, you must know more about trauma than anyone!! Emma actually experienced trauma, and however they chose to process and make meaning of that trauma,…

Technically, if they are granted formal asylum before entering the US physically, they’re considered refugees. If they enter the US and then go through the process and are granted formal asylum, then they are asylees.

But the teacher is named, like right there in the article.

Just an editorial note, but it would be helpful if you identified Bevin by more than just his last name. Mentioning his role or at least putting “Gov. Bevin” would make it easier for those of us who aren’t up on Kentucky politics to follow.

That is horrifying. I’m still trying to get my head around the idea of anyone even trying to flash a diaper, let alone having that as their regular diaper disposal method.

I had guessed litter->storm drain might be one way they’d get there, I didn’t know there were so many other options as well! People continue to surprise and gross me out in brand new ways.

Wait, are you saying that people somehow manage to flush disposable diapers?? Or do they make it into the pumps via other routes? Not doubting you, I’m just amazed if the former is possible.

I’m 30, and one thing that has been really nice for me to discover in my 20s was that you get to have adventures at any age you wish. For me, the only difference has been that I’ve gotten a lot more brave and self confident as I got older, and now I see even more possibilities for adventures than I did back in my…

Funny podcasts (Something True is great and one or two episodes will carry your through dishes), trashy TV, or blasting music and turning the whole thing into a dance party are the only way my dishes ever get done.

You’re a day too late, we’ve already had this conversation. My comment, as I made clear in this same thread, is in reference to the Op’s comment within the context of this specific article. I’m not going to repeat what’s already written in front of you.

Your comment has done nothing to add to the conversation except acknowledge something that we both already acknowledged on our own. You don’t need to tell me what depression feels like jackass, I have literally decades and decades of personal experience.

Yuuuuup, this exactly.
