I was 13 too, and the song struck such a chord with me at that time and at that age. RIP

You should!

Your Mum and your boyfriend don’t own you anymore! DO IT NOW.

I was thirteen when Zombie came out and I wanted to cut and bleach my hair like her in the video but my mom and boyfriend talked me out of it. I’m tempted to go do it today. I loved her.

yes! my bookstore tweeted basically the same thing this morning. also, this delightful gem a couple days ago:

I think anytime someone says, “I am not a racist” . . . they are probably a racist.

I live in a predominantly Black neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Apparently, I am missing all the shooting, as I have yet to be shot after living on this particular street for 16 years. So no, simply living in a city and not being white doesn’t mean your neighborhood is a shithole. And fucking Iowa? I would not…

The fact this person has no stars and yet is still somehow out of the greys is just proof this website isn’t worth the bandwith it occupies.

I’ll take that a step further and say that anyone that says “I’m not X but” are most certainly whatever X is. Always.

“Not wanting other races and cultures to invade your culture doesn’t mean I hate their race. Just means I don’t want their cultures invading mine”

I honestly don’t understand the need for an apology. Not that he will, but he can say the words “I’m sorry for calling your country a shithole” and it won’t mean a thing because based on his entire history, we know what he really thinks.

A witch hunt. God, that pisses me off. You wanna know from witch hunts? Please read your history. What’s happening to these men doesn’t compare with the wholesale decimation of women, literally burned at the stake, because they could read. Or because they pissed someone off. Or because they were interfering with the…

I’m mystified by Americans who describe America as being in the ‘top spot,’ ‘the greatest country in the world,’ and ‘the country that EVERYONE wants to live in.’ It’s not. It certainly hasn’t been any of those things in my lifetime. It seems like most Americans are completely clueless about countries that aren’t the…

I wish I could give you a thousand stars. How has the US gotten to a point where so many people think The Rock or Oprah is going to fix all of their problems?!

I don’t really l care about Seal or his thoughts, but I don’t want Oprah to run for president.

I’m sort of bummed with Jez currently. The commentariet seems to be taken over by a lot of dudes who get in first to mansplain all the sex shenanigans, give their hot takes on Trump etc., and generally dominate the threads. This really used to be a place for women to give their opinions, reveal their stories, and…

When politicians talk about the economy, they talk about the stock market and corporate profits.

All far as trolls go, The Satanic Church is that geeky wannabe-goth kid back in high school who would wear pentagrams and upside down crosses just to spook out the adults. He didn’t even believe in God or the Devil or anything religious related. He would say that religion was the real evil of the world.

The location of her portraits is determined by the stories women tell her, and it is always in public—buses, Tube stations, streets, and restaurants are recurring locations in the project—because she wants “to give an impression of everyday life and the unfortunate normality of harassment.
