I understand her intent, but trying to convince people she wasn’t being abused by saying she would “never let [herself] be a victim,” is some serious victim-blaming BULLSHIT.

That happened to my cousin over 20 years ago— he died in his sleep, and his wife slept beside his body the rest of the night, unknowing. It’s been something I’ve contemplated quite a bit over the years.

It’s not really self centered if you take in today’s social climate. Think about it, say someone who knows Patton very well calls him up with condolences but doesn’t tweet about condolences, what happens online? You get nosy people calling you “cold,” “mean,” “selfish” and “uncaring” for not saying anything about your…

As long as poor desperate women are forced to have babies then the Republicans have done their job. After all, they need to ensure an underclass for the future rich to feed off of.

Because if I don't laugh I'll cry.

They rant about Sharia Law while creating Sharia Law.

It’s like all these people had brain abortions, and they seem fine with that.

This is what happens when you start tolerating people’s religious beliefs. We had this brand of religious nutcase on the ropes in the 1990s and early 00s, then we had to start going around respecting their ability to believe such bullshit (and attacking the militant atheists who came so close to putting them down for…

City councilmen love having issues to address publicly. High school girls have been viciously assaulting each other for as long as I can remember, and I’m old. So sorry this young lady died and I hope there are consequences for her assailants.

When I was in high school there weren’t many fights, but the fights between the girls were always brutal. I never witnessed any, but they always took place in the restroom and it was always a disaster afterwards, and the girls looked like they were in a death match. It got to the point where they no longer allowed…

Obviously girls shouldnt be allowed in girls washrooms either, look how dangerous it is!

I’d wager that Donald Trump sees something he doesn’t understand when he walks into any room.

Um, I’m a cis-het guy who vaguely identifies as androgynous because I like presenting as feminine/female even though that’s not my gender - I wear dresses and skirts etc, wear make up, style my (long) hair and wear nailpolish. Whereas more gender specific describing terms don’t fit me, androgynous does because it…

We can talk about why androgyny often reads masculine (hint: under patriarchy, masculinity is considered the default—“neutral”—while femininity is treated as a variation on masculinity), but “fuck androgyny” is a strong take. I have a hunch that people who feel comfortable more around the middle of the gender spectrum…

Well, there’s a difference between a person who smokes weed and a weed head. You described a weed head. There are plenty of adults who smoke and it’s not a big deal, just like some people drink socially and some people are alcoholics, you know? I never want to date an alcoholic, but social drinkers are fine.

I unabashedly love that movie and cannot wait until my daughter is old enough to understand it. We’re going to read the book, we’re going to watch the movie, we’re going to follow Mara on Twitter. YES!

Rape or sexual abuse in prison to anyone is a problem and something in Anglo culture has generally become accepted as part of being punished.

Why are people like this? I can’t imagine ever wanting to hurt anyone or make anyone feel less than on purpose with such intention to degrade, humiliate and control. This is pure cruelty and the fact that so many people were complicit just makes it worse. If it was just one you could can convince yourself that most…

That was very good headline-writing. One glance and my lunch was almost gone, which I think is the appropriate response. And to think of all the state lawmakers that are obsessed with goddam toilets.

We’re just stuck with our little runts cramping our (pathetic) style. Too dumb and ugly to bring out in public
