Moms who allow themselves to have an identity beside being “MOM” are the best.
My boss told me today I could go home early if I needed to because I was getting a little upset about my aunt. She said I cover for people so much that if I needed time for myself to take it. It was nice to hear that. Not everyone gets that support.
To pre-empt any greek atrocity apologists - just keep trying to brush off the vast epidemic of hazing deaths as “no big deal”.
People’s kids dying for no other reason than an institutionalized “legacy tradition” of torture. And it persists, while everyone looks the other way.
When I was in college, my social life revolved around the activities I did - I was in a choir, I rowed intramural crew, etc. The idea of joining a frat for no other reason than to figure out a way to go to parties and meet people is so very strange when you’re 19 and you have vast resources at your disposal to meet…
They so often terrorize campuses with their smug entitled antics - then act all haughty like one single fucking pancake fundraiser makes up for a year of entitled, elitist, racist destruction.
(they are almost always GOP dominated as well.... BLECH)
Fraternities and sororities are stupid, stupid, stupid. Yes I’m sure you were in a great sorority that did a lot of charity work or whatever, it doesn’t change the fact that they are exclusionary and have no place on modern day university campuses.
They’re PUBLIC BATHROOMS FFS.
I’ve punched a brick wall before... They don’t give, like at all. I’m not saying your feelings aren't valid, but, bring some ice or maybe start with drywall and work your way up.
Putting the blame on God is gross, but even worse is that the prof makes it sound like his committing rape on a 15 year old was a blessing (for Labrie)!!! What the fuuuuuuck?! I really hope that this prof is outed on campus and is forced to resign or gets fired. And I hope Labrie is sent straight to prison - but…
St. Paul’s is an Episcopal school. Catholics don’t operate elite boarding schools in the NE, those are generally Protestant (Episcopal/Lutheran/Unitarian). I’m not sure Catholics operate elite boarding schools anywhere in the US. The most elite Catholic schools tend to be single-sex day schools run by specific…
You’re totally right. He could become another one of those “ yes I screwed up again but gods forgiven me soooo.... No jail time?” types we see far too often.
When they believe all sex is bad unless it involves a wife submitting to her husband, it doesn’t seem like so much of a leap when someone like this references rape as sex-play.
Can we please show his original photo and not his made up court image in the main articles from now on? someone requested this before an I fully support this.
Seriously! Putting gods wacky divine hijinks aside, The professor is talking like the kid was found smoking a joint in the janitors closet between classes. The kid raped a girl and then broke bail 3 times! It blows my mind what privilege can buy you in this country.
Yeah. So, the professor is arguing that Labrie should be burned at the stake by the English?
extreme affliction and malheur
Yes world, the real story here is that God did this to Owen Labrie but still loves him. Let’s not be distracted by the minor detail of him committing rape and then - just to show how unchanged and heinous he is - violating the conditions of his bail.
Well that’s a fresh take on “he had such a promising future”
..........Ah, no.
