Very few people are entirely 100% blind. I’m completely blind on my left eye and have 20/200 vision in my right and I often just use the “blind” shorthand for myself. I know a lot of people who can only see light and color and refer to themselves as blind. I think we should all leave Stevie Wonder alone.

If a candidate for Congress is receiving death threats, when does law enforcement decide to finally do their fucking job?

A lot of orchestras hold “blind auditions”: hopefuls play behind a screen, with the process arranged so that no hint of their gender presentation or race reaches the panel. These orchestras suddenly found themselves hiring people other than white men - even though they’d honestly believed they hired on merit alone.

It’s interesting how she framed these remarks in terms of the impact of watching 20 films in a short period of time. I was on the jury for a film festival a few years back (a small, local festival, basically the opposite of Cannes), and the process made me realize how much violence against women is a default narrative…

This is likely the result of a long series of failures. Clearly this kid has learned that anger, aggression, and threats of violence are an appropriate way to solve problems, which suggests he’s been on the receiving end of that kind of lesson in his life (probably his dad). Clearly this kid has internalized a pretty…

Ugh. It is supposed to get better, not worse. The world is filling up with hate so the world will want to fill up the prisons so the world has someone to direct their anger at.

Can I enjoy looking at a beautiful woman in a non-sexual way and appreciate her talent at movement without being said to objectify her? Serious question. Because women are much more attractive to look at (usually) than men.

Thank you SO MUCH for this article. I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder and articles like this have led to so much stigma, self-righteous and sanctimonious lecturing and more consequences than you could imagine. I am not saying for one second we’re not difficult to be around but sick of people being told to…

I got nothing other than WHAT THE HELL?! Seriously WHAT THE FUCK is wrong with people?

Fuck that noise - I love my platinum and they can call it gray all they want.

Beyond this individual’s unnecessary and most likely wholly preventable death, the real tragedy is that stories like this won’t make a difference. In the minds of these conservative lawmakers, this man made an active choice to live a life and choose a job that didn’t facilitate having health insurance. If regular…

“the ultimate form of child abuse.”

Flying is clearly a part of most people’s lives to some extent between work, family and vacations and often driving just isn’t realistic, so it’s all but a monopoly situation. Unless the government (hahahahaha) gets involved to prevent passengers from being treated like crap, I don’t see how it’s going to improve

See, the fact that she said she was no longer sure it was nonconsensual on the SECOND interview is enough to convince me that she probably “changed her story” after the cops treated her like a suspect and badgered her relentlessly about whether it was really rape or if she “consented.”

When I see her laugh there, this was the first place my mind went.

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

I always feel like not enough people appreciate how amazing Serena Williams is. I was super annoyed at a NY Times article about a year ago that was all about how Williams’s body was “too big.” JHC, she’s Serena Williams, amazing tennis goddess! Who cares what her body looks like? Look at what she can do! (Plus, you…

The degree to which sportswriters perennially downplay Serena’s utter domination of modern tennis is a scandal.
