The slutshaming that followed that illegal revenge porn release was something i’ll never forget as a young woman. Paris is problematic, but on this one...as others have said, 100% on her side.

donating fetal tissue is a gateway path to free abortions for everyone, obviously cant have that

Ditto. I remember the narrative around her at the time - all the talk was about her and what a “slut” she was and I remember hearing nothing about Solomon at the time (um, it takes two to tango?). The tape he chose to release was 100% her responsibility, somehow.

Yep. 100% on her side here. 

Obviously when a bakery doesn’t make a cake for a gay wedding it’s the free market, but when a publisher doesn’t want to distribute a book by a killer that’s a violation of free speech. The fact that the white hetero patriarchy benefits in both cases is a mere coincidence. 

To me, this is best part of the story. This has to be the most Aussie thing that I’ve heard this month. No whining, no threats, no solicitor spokesman demanded compensation. They ate the salad and got on with the day.

It sucks but I'm not going to come down on a company for not basing phone policies on random shooters.  

Me, I figure she went all “Iron Queen” on them when the cameras weren’t on:

Uhhhh... you don’t have to disable your adblocker entirely. Just disable it on Google Docs. There’s a dedicated button to do that, and there aren’t ads on Google Docs to block anyways!

Because it is filler for the 24/7 news cycle. Canadian news networks aired U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearings, which were quite literally irrelevant to Canada, but hey...I guess it meant a break for the newsroom.

I had heard (somewhere) that Andy boy wanted to wear the kit of a full Admiral, even though he wasn’t.

No.  Not when I can literally buy 5 full bottles of store brand ketchup for that price.

Yes, because avoiding confrontation always works. Seems like that’s what got them into this whole mess in the first place.

So it’s only a ketchup packet shortage, not a ketchup shortage? So we could just, I dunno, USE KETCHUP THAT’S NOT IN A PACKET?!

The whole thing sounds like a rejected Eudora Welty plot.

“Bumble Bee brand tuna, and you can throw that, because you put a curve on it, you can do whatever you want.”

One of the reasons why Game of Thrones went off the rails so spectacularly — apart from running out of material to adapt — was that it went from a realistic show (from a psychological/dramatic POV at least) about people caught up by forces beyond their control to a power fantasy about people on dragons nuking their…

Ugh.

This is a huge deal and an important issue that I hadn’t heard about yet, and I work in abortion care. Thank you for covering this Emily!
