At orientation for my university’s graduate teaching assistants, they walked us through the steps to take to de-escalate angry/aggressive students. It was a total joke—the advice was either super obvious (ie: don’t yell back) or completely pie-in-the-sky. They walked through these methodical steps, as if anyone’s…

As gun owners constantly kvetched to Obama, “Why should ‘good’ gun owners have to give up their guns?” and here’s your honest truth: because society treats every gun owner as a ‘good’ gun owner up until the moment they start murdering everybody.

huh - for a moment there i thought they got Kurt Russell to guest star as Santa Claus on Sabrina. that i would watch. that and the great british baking show holidays. I just burned through all of the “new” episodes of GBBS over the weekend. That show is a gift for my mental health, it just makes me happy for some…

Ok, I guess I can kind of see the chipmunk face-thing, but his face is so expressive! His eyes! He’s a brilliant actor! And that body! There’s Wallace, String! There’s Wallace!

Once again, we see that the main thing almost all of these shooters have in common is violence towards women. 

Sorry but saying something did Jack shit in the case of Ian Long, Brent Kavanaugh, Clarence Thomas, Johnny Depp and God knows how many others. Society does not want to hear a woman's testimony against a man

Not to be rude but, lmao. She did say something, she was told to drop it to protect the perp. Brock turner was told on and look at him now. Dr. Ford spoke up and look what happened with her. Countless people spoke out about 45 and look what happened there.
