“The laws of our nation and California do not tolerate people who deprive or violate the liberty of another and obtain forced labor or services,” District Attorney Tony Rackauckas said in a statement issued by the Irvine Police Department.

"Though cases of slavery are few and far between in the wealthy suburbs of Orange County"

Yes! Thank you for saying this. I've consulted for development companies with what I do, and it's such a huge problem. NGOs can't circumvent the community development by providing these things, or they are contributing to underdevelopment. Only a small few really seem to get this. Most just want the temporary…

The same sort of 'charity' ruined any chance of there being an African apparel industry. Bales and bales of donated cholthing is distributed all over Africa through many different charities. They start out as free at the distribution point and increase in cost as the clothing migrates outward. It is like the US food…

I like that whole look on J. Lo. I'm a little worn out on retro inspired shoots, but she looks amazing.

I like that darker hair on Jennifer Lopez.

Menses are the final frontier in polite conversation. Some of my male friends who would have no problem talking about taking a dump are vehement about not wanting to know about my dirty monthly disaster.

I just don't get the gross-out effect that periods STILL seem to have on people. Get over it grown ass man. It happens once a month every month for most of the women on this planet. Seriously. If you grew up with real punk rock, this would not be an issue.

Didn't one of the members of L7 pull out her tampon onstage and throw it into the crowd at one of their shows?

Predators do not fight fair. Every self-defense class and maritial arts training I have done has been to face one attacker. When I was attacked recently it was two men, nobody prepared me for what to do if one man was punching me in the face and the other was grabbing me. Predators make sure there is a power advantage…

God fucking damnit, I knew they'd make me wear the repurposed baby blanket.

The Resting Bitch Face is strong in this one.
