Not saying she hasn’t sucked on Native issues or that Cramer wouldn’t be an absolute nightmare. Rather, just pointing out that her own actions have put her in a position where she now has to spend the next month convincing Native voters to give her another chance, and that based on reporting around the area, that’s…

Uhh, one of these issues was 1) the biggest N.D./S.D. story of the year and 2) very clearly a self-inflicted wound on Heitkamp’s part, and the other is the result of N.D. Dems, or any party, failing to adequately secure Native voting rights before they lost all the state houses. The Kavanaugh vote was cool and Good,…

I saw a “legal expert” on Fox News discussing this exact thing with the host. The host was pushing for Kavanaugh to file a defamation suit against Dr. Ford. Their reasoning for not doing it was because it’s not a good look for a sitting supreme court justice to be involved in a lawsuit like that. It was all bullshit,…

That’s been my thing the entire time. If this is 100% false and so offensive and life-ruining, where’s the legal action? Should be a slam dunk. Huh.

I’d like to know exactly how many prominent men have actually had their lives and careers ruined because of an accusation that was proven false. Can someone please do the math?

The ball is in your court, white ladies.

Susan Collins should’ve had to make that condescending, trashfire speech to Dr. Ford’s face.

It wasn’t for nothing to me.  It was inspiring.  I hate that she felt like she had to do this, and I hate that she received so much shit for it, and I hate that her life has been upended.  But it wasn’t for nothing to me, and to my fellow assault survivors.

I feel fucking terrible for Dr. Blasey Ford.

My wife has yet to tell me the name of the person who assaulted her in college. She says I didn’t know him, but she wont say who it was. I’m just being patient and she’ll tell me more when shes ready. 

A couple months ago, after seeing my abusive ex at a show we were at, I told my husband about his raping me almost 20 years ago. It was the first— and only— time I had said the words outloud. I have been with my husband for over 15 years. Hell, it took me over a decade to even admit to myself that what happened with…

Yeah, I’m fucking done with campaigns to “raise awareness.” If someone isn’t aware sexual assault a) exists and b) is bad after this year’s godawful news cycle, they live under a rock or they’re in a coma. Vague “awareness” with no political action attached is worse than useless because you could’ve used that momentum …

Yup. Alcohol is not going to turn you into a rapist. All the alcohol will do is remove the filter; it switches off that part of your brain that thinks about long-term consequences. Kav did what he did because he truly believed that women are just “things” for him to play with. All of his yearbook bragging was written…

This isn’t a protest. This is the weakest smallest effort to say I think something about something. Next let’s put our bra sizes up to fight breast cancer or a rainbow frame to show lgbt+ people I like them well enough. Organize a real protest. Go out into the streets. Call and write your reps. This is less than nothin…

And it’s not that because men are young they drink and become savages, it’s something men do.

The stats on alcohol involved DV and sexual assault seems low to me, only half? That means the other half do it when they are not drunk. So what does that tell us? 

I get the point of this theoretically, but in my heart I believe it does not serve me or anyone else to willingly be invisible. I fight it enough in my daily life as it is.

After this shitty week, bet you could set up Marzipan in a booth and charge for hugs. I’d be in for about ten bucks worth minimum.

After weeks of rain, my backyard looks like the mosh pit at Woodstock 99. Marzipan isnt going to be able to go out back for a month.
