It might have been kinky sex that turned nonconsensual. It might have been vanilla sex that turned nonconsensual. It might have been nonconsensual from the beginning, and she was throwing her usual safeword out hoping to make it stop. Does it matter?

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I remember having feels throughout it. The Ferguson parallels alone (I remember wondering how intentional they were, because I can’t really grasp how long it takes to make a movie) gave me chills.

How is that even legal under EMTALA? I work in an ER, and we’re not allowed to just NOT treat someone who is in distress.

:P

OH MY GOD THAT’S ALARIC.

This time last year, I was in St. Martin for my birthday with my now-ex. So all the FB memories this week are like LOOK HOW HAPPY YOU TWO WERE. AND LOOK AT ALL THIS AMAZING FOOD. AND YOU WERE WARM. SO FUN YES? REMEMBERING IS FUN!!

A lot of states make exceptions to consent laws when both parties are minors (or if they’re within so many years of each other) because who do you charge when two 14 year olds are having sex?

I was thinking either Uptown (the drunk, stupid asshole capital of the city) or the one closer to Midtown.

Really? I live in Minneapolis, and that was not the McD’s I was picturing.

Where can I get a print of this? Need it for my Leslie Knope wall.

All I can do is imagine the outcome if this guy was black.

You realize that everyone without an agenda has said exactly the opposite of what you’re saying here, don’t you?

If people want to be virgins until they’re married, more power to them. It’s not my bag, but it doesn’t need to be - it’s not my life. But what happens in purity culture is much more than a bunch of preteens spontaneously declaring their intention to remain virgins until marriage. The entire culture is set up in a way…

Do you think he’d be so supportive if she hadn’t made the choice he wanted her to make at 13, and then kept on with that choice all these years later?

All the time. I used to ride the bus to and from work five days a week, and it was at least once a day. From the dipshit waving in front of my face when I didn’t take my earbuds out to acknowledge him, to the dudes who ask what I’m reading or knitting, it was constant.

That’s such bullshit. Men interact with each other on a daily basis. That the presence of a woman reduces them to socially stunted, drooling morons is insulting to all of us.

I went from this:

Did you do it yourself? My hairdresser took me from red to platinum (nevermind that I asked for NOT platinum) in one go.

Accidentally awesome hair dye mistakes are my favorite. Like, I wasn’t going for this at all, but holy shit amazing.

Nearly everyone I know in Minnesota at least enjoys baseball. Fanaticism to varying degrees is not uncommon.
