Uh huh. Uh huh. Well, my body isn’t gonna produce children at any age, so whatever. Evo Psych can suck it.

I will always think Dean is a bad person, and not just because he was dumb and mopey and whiny.

“ Things just went too far and someone got scared”

Looking back now there are at least two times I’m sure I was drugged, but wrote it off as being just really drunk. The first time I was in high school, away on some school academic bladibla thing in DC. The dude told me - TOLD me - his name was Mickey Finn. Right? It’s only shockingly recently that I’ve realized he…

We might be in luck....

I do. Also that twitter account is a national treasure.

I saw this one today and it made me laugh more than was really reasonable.

I was raped on video by a classmate at 13. My classmates saw it and were amazed that I “did porn” - My mother said she wished I hadn’t done it. She didn’t like it that I “had sex” at such a young age. We didn’t speak about my rape explicitly again for 13 more years. My dad has never said a word about it. I was sent to…

Can we refer to this place as a “Boooooooooooo-k store”?

NYT: Bernie Sanders doesn’t like to talk about being Jewish BUT WE DO.

The best part of this is how in the still image for the video, that lady in the background looks like “Stop talking stop talking stop talking oh my fucking god just stop talking right now goddamnit Cheryl.”

IT ISNT LONG ENOUGH SHUT YOUR MOUTH THIS DESERVES A FULL TRANSCRIPT OF EVERYTHING EVERYONE SAID DID AND ATE

Yep! We got an email from a lovely commenter being like, “Send Anna on this thing” and my bosses were like, “OK” and I was like “wait I was mostly kidding when I said I wanted to go and wrote a pitch” and they were like “No, too late,” and I was like “....” and then I went.

what if... that were the obvious point of this essay

It feels somewhat uncomfortable to me that a writer (I’m not sure of her racial or ethnic identity) is effectively asking someone to other themselves, or conform to a specific identity that they may feel they have little in common with. I can’t remember ever seeing anyone asked why they don’t act more Irish or French,…

I think it’s so important for people to understand that race is a very personal experience. Growing up Asian in San Francisco would probably be drastically different than growing up Asian in a small town in Louisiana. Just because people happen to be Asian American doesn’t always mean they’ll have an “asian…

Right. But does doing something short sighted and selfish in your early 20s mean you are a bad person? I don’t know. I did a lot of short sighted and selfish things in my early 20s that very well could have had an impact on someone’s life. These things exist on a spectrum, but even acknowledging that there are degrees…

It really is a hard thing to judge people historically using current social standards. As Solnit points out, in the 70's in California, both men and women lacked the vocabulary to express (and even imagine) a way to mark predatory behavior as predatory. We all imagine we would know better if we were plunged into…
