Dear white people,
Dear white people,
I’m still perplexed as to how withholding sex can stop campus rape, though.
I know that’s not what you meant! I meant in terms of the general conversation that pops up any time something like this happens. Yes, we 100% need more mental health resources, no question. But that isn’t the only answer.
I understand your point, and I think it’s an interesting philosophical and medical discussion to have as to whether this is just how mental illness manifests in some people. But I think the most important thing to keep in mind is that this is not new, or unusual, and the vast majority of people who would dismiss this…
I think it’s irrelevant what his mental status is. Scores of people have mental illnesses and do not do this. Scores of people are violent against women in this same way and do not have a mental illness. And for a good number of people, this isn’t evidence of “batshit crazy”, but rather what these women deserved. See: …
Absolutely tragic. Shaun King just wrote an insightful article about how social media is democratizing awareness of police brutality, although it’s not like it’s reducing violence. Unless something happened locally, you basically never heard of beatings or shootings outside of high-profile NY / LA cases.
GP, thanks. Too many dead black men.
Yes. This is not a mental health issue. It’s a violence against women issue. Carly Fiorina, Jason Chaffetz, and the rest of that garbage pile are directly and personally responsible for this bullshit.
He was a gentle loner, though.
Looooove all the 0Ls in the comments.
I play banker and I embezzle like I’m on Wall Street.
I love Bjork. One of my all-time favorite musicians, ever. I’ve been playing my Post and Vespertine records all day, and also thinking about the time the Gilmore Girls built a Bjork Snowman.
I wonder what it’s like for real money to be monopoly money to you. It just must be an entirely different sort of world and thinking.
I don’t think I understand what any of this says. Can a man read it to me in a smart, manly voice, please?
But she’s Wonder Woman now! Which I’m very excited for, but :( :( Gisele.
I ACCEPT.
I might have to clerk for her immediately.
Update: Dale Brigham has resigned.
Pretty miraculous what an overloaded inbox and a probable admonishment from a floundering administration can do!
He doesn’t negotiate with terrorists, okay? He is literally Jack Bauer.
