The other day I got a hand gun to protect my kids, you know? And I’m really happy because it is SO important for them to be safe.

As a teacher, I can’t see any possible outcome in which teachers aren’t blamed for not doing stuff right. If you shoot the attackers, you turn against some of the kids you teach. If you don’t shoot them, you fail to protect your students. If you didn't bring your gun of great justice to school that day, you're…

is like when people who are going about their day minding their own business are always “in the wrong place at the wrong time” when something bad happens to them.

but I have a feeling I would be angry and hating for a long, long time.

Same. I do have the good fortune to have dealt with it enough that I can hide everything extremely well. If “normal” people knew what I go through, I’m sure they’d want me committed on the spot.

Whenever people armchair diagnose celebs, it makes me feel less comfortable sharing my experiences and struggles with mental illness. If Kanye’s series of bizarre and out-of-touch tweets freak you out so much you think he needs to be hospitalized, holy shit are you gonna be fucking terrified of me.

“Oh okay, that seems perfectly reasonable. And while you’re doing that I’ll just sign this form you gave me acknowledging that what I’m about to do is against your will and that if you don’t bring it to the police tomorrow you were probably too traumatized to talk to them and no one should judge you for suppressing it…

It was hibachi so it’s likely he was also their server, there are still the runners, bus people, and the host/ess to consider but even as a former food service person myself I am having a hard time having any sympathy for the restaurant. A server having a bad day is one thing, a server who sexually harasses and makes…

I don’t think white people should ever stop being shocked and appalled by racism. “Oh well yea this is normal” is not an ok response if we ever hope to get better.

And yet every time I read a story like this, even after having read so many before, my brain still goes “what the fucking fuck??”.

It may not be surprise. It may be disbelief mixed in some proportion with disappointment. When I see the wretched refuse post racist or sexist comments, I don’t think “Gosh, look at that, somebody thinks black people are inferior.” But I do think “HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMEONE BE FILLED WITH THIS POISON.” Perhaps not a big…

Several inches. They’re long (longer than a typical human male’s) and skinny.

The Guardian spoke to Aislinn Pulley, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Chicago, who declined attending the gathering, saying it “would only serve to legitimize the false narrative that the government is working to end police brutality and the institutional racism that fuels it.”

“we all have to fuck the goat” is my new patriarchy metaphor i think

Are you then saying that you find the rest of the question perfectly reasonable?

It wasn’t even the awfulness of his writing that caused the chaos— but if it were MY magazine, I’d’ve fired that guy for comma abuse long before he even thought about writing a love-letter to a rapist!

This is almost entirely off-topic, but this precise concept was what bothered myself so direly about the killing of Cecil the Lion.

It’s just so gross that he’s harassing her (and her mother) with this suit. Even if he can’t get his money back, he’s willing to spend whatever it costs to re-victimize his victim. His secret is already out, courtesy of the 50+ other women who have come forward with substantially similar accounts of being…

I know of only one way for a feminist to vote: go into the voting booth, select a candidate, squat on the voting machine, and use those strong vaginal muscles to pull that lever.
