No matter how you look at this story, the children are the victims here.

Also, I googled Lisa Gorcyca and found this petition to remove her from office. Sign it, you guys!

While an improvement over a juvenile detention centre, I don't like that these children are being forced to attend camp. The lack of respect that this judge is showing for the personal autonomy of these children is shocking. Another story I read about this included a quote from the judge heaping praise on the father…

I love that she’s doing the whole “you guys don’t understand” thing when literally NOTHING (barring the kids actually, you know, committing a crime and even then it’s debatable) that justifies her sending them to jail and threatening them in the manner that she did (“you want people to watch you pee?”).

Nope, the opposite. Go Set a Watchman was written first, but is set later, when Scout is an adult. Lee wrote GSaW, then her publishers wanted the story of growing up, which was apparently just a flashback, expanded into a full book. So the story arc goes from TKaM Atticus to racist Atticus :(

No. To Kill a Mockingbird is Scout as a child. Go Set a Watchman is Scout as an adult.

That was my father. He now teaches middle school English and Social Studies and is much happier.

She also ordered that the kids be kept away from each other in detention. This woman is demented.

My friend was in a nasty divorce a gazillion years ago. Her female attorney had the gall to apologize (!!!) after doing a shitty job, for believing the husband’s allegations agaisnt her and feeling sorry for him. I’m not kidding. Aaargh. I haven’t thought about this is years.

I’m a family law attorney, and my office has been up in arms about this all week.

When I was 5 I wished on a star that I would have horses. Less than a year later my parents were divorced and 6 mos later my Monday remarried a guy who raised quarter horses. When I was 8 I wished the horses away to get my family back together after he turned into an abusive prick. His brand new prize stallion got bit…

You leave John Oliver alone, young lady.

Could you work your magic on a certain British actor who resembles an otter?

Godspeed! I’m working on a fictional piece myself, and am amazed at how slowly I go...

You’re right, the man was horrible. He should have provided a livingroom pool, some kittens, soothing music, a masseuse and a Cosmo to calm her down.

Ugh. I clicked on that link to her blog and holy cow, batman. Its like a parody of a basic white girl blog. So skinny. So blonde. So vanilla. The basic-ness is so strong. The whiteness is stronger still.

I didn’t understand that this was a thing until I saw that Kimmy Schmidt episode.

Will Tristafe be in it or not?
