This is the opposite of chaotic, but I discovered that Walmart is absolutely dead during game time, which shouldn’t have surprised me, but still, an odd sight.

Just became a Gaga fan. Not of her music, of her as a human being. Her empathy is beautiful.

That “what if your father raped someone” question is absolutely fucking disgusting. I know the lawyer was just doing her job etc but JFC.

When I adopted my cat years ago I attempted to give her a bath, which....went poorly. Being new to cat ownership, I ignored the warning signs until she panicked enough to bite me (on the thumb) so she could escape. Again, new to cat ownership, I just washed the bite and stuck a band-aid on it, thinking nothing of it.

You see this?  This is how you do Kinja, folks; this is what you’re supposed to do with Kinja. Take heed.

It’s pretty obvious what happened.  There was no bear.  It was Bigfoot.

I was sexually abused as a child. I lied about it even to sympathetic seeming people as a knee jerk and self preservation reaction. Even when I could admit some of the abuse, I would lie, deny, and hide the rest. Because people act different, look different, treat you different when you disclose. It makes you feel

I did the same things. I was 4 when it started. I’m still fucked up from it. 57 years later. It’s affected me all my life.

There are a lot of men who jump into conversations about women being sexually assaulted with the loud proclamation that MEN GET SEXUALLY ASSAULTED TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Now playing

Have you seen his art? It’s pretty amazing!

This is awful and only contributes to the shame around sexual assault for men. Also, Crews has also said that he felt his size and blackness complicated his ability to respond more forcefully to the assault. 

He was recently on an NPR show “Ask Me Another”. He is an amazing guy in so many ways. He got into college on an art scholarship. Then he got on the football team as a walk on and got a free ride. He is a flautist. He made extra money in school doing portraits of his teammates. The played a game of “what cant Terry do”

Love Terry Crews. So glad he's speaking out.

I have a lot of respect for Terry Crews. It’s incredibly demeaning, and infuriating, when someone suggests that you didn’t try hard enough to not be sexually harassed or assaulted. He helped encourage me to report my own sexual harassment.

Terry Crews is a national treasure. 

Even if Terry beat the tar out of the guy, it wouldn’t erase the fact that he was sexually assaulted. Bye, D.L.

Obviously Crews was asking for it. Probably dressed in a well-fitted suit and parading around the event all smiles and handshakes with all the guys.

New years goals update: I have had no alcohol since December! I’m feeling really good about it, but what is worrying me is how easy it has been. I am not bragging, it actually worries me. Like, every other time I tried to quit or cut back, it was hell, but this time I haven’t had a bad day except for maybe the first

WOW! Ok so whatever I did, it was so bad, I’m not just grey I don’t exist anymore.

I need to think about what kind of beer I want to make for the spring. Originally, I was going to make a pumpkin spice ale but brewing beer is impossible with a newborn. Then I decided to make a spiced winter ale. But brewing beer is impossible with a four month old. So I’m going to try to make something for the
