Could we get an edit on that headline and remove the word “captured”? She was a young girl, not an escaped convict or an animal that needed to be picked up somewhere. She was not captured. She was abducted. She was kidnapped and murdered.

I hope everyone reads the piece in the Guardian by David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham. His wife was a friend of Khadija Saye and he makes a number of important points as to how this is corporate manslaughter and people need to be charged and held responsible for their actions.
Well of course that’s worse because it destroys a man, where actual sexual assault typically destroys a woman and I think we all know whose life is more valuable here.
This is Taliessin’s mom with one of the girls who was accosted. Seeing this just broke my heart.
He is literally everything the GOP claims to hate.
Aside from the “I won’t call them monsters” line being not much more than a means of the president redirecting attention to himself and his own, implicitly superior, thought process, it’s worth pointing out that it does the very thing it claims it’s not doing. “I won’t call them monsters....” No? It seems like you…
Same here. It is really hard. And my abuse started when I was 3-4, which logically I know that no person would ever blame a child that age, but I do. I mean, part of it was the grooming aspect and that it went on for years, which made me compliant and feel complicit, but I really do struggle with feeling responsible…
What Jane said hits so close to home for me. I am intelligent and as feminist as they come, and logically I know that rape is never the fault of anyone but the rapist. But knowing that logically doesn’t always translate into applying it to yourself, or at least it didn’t for me. I would NEVER blame anyone else for…
A lot of tropes that we associate with villainy are actually based on traits of marginalized people. In the case of Scar and Jafar, they’re queer-coded. They’re sibilant, emotive, and occasionally effeminate, which is often associated with portrayals of gay men.

As a currently pregnant person, I’d like to tell this man to fuck the fuck off with his host bullshit. I wanted this baby and pregnancy is miserable as FUCK. This isn’t hosting, this is being bled fucking dry by a goddamned alien (if you’re reading this in the future, little dude, just know that I mean every fucking…
I know. This didn’t even enrage me. I just thought: well, they finally said it out loud.
And there it is.
It warms my heart to know that, in a few short years, it will no longer be difficult to explain why “Bati, bati,” was one of the funny arias in Don Giovanni, back when it was written.
Hypnosis has different effectiveness on different people. Some people are extremely suggestible and others are not.
I was born during the Carter administration, so Nixon was definitely not on my radar. I’m not going to defend Reagan on AIDS. Same for GW. I’m not going to defend his decisions.
I’ve been considering putting an actual bet on it. Whilst, yes, her family and some of us Brits would be sad, she’s very old, she’s recently been requesting access to fund ring fenced for the poor to heat her palace, and we’d all get a national day of mourning to go to the pub, so I don’t feel as much shame as I…
