There were about 45 people in my graduating class, and I can remember all of their names, and I’m in my early 50s. There’s no anonymity at a small school. I may not remember every single encounter, but I can remember every sad or troubling encounter, certainly.

The thing about sex offenders is that they often cultivate a persona that is completely at odds with their sexual offenses so that if a victim comes forward, no one will believe them.

As a woman, if someone tried to rape me, yeah I think I’d remember it.  I remember clearly my friend’s father cornering me and trying to kiss me, in approximately 1969. 

I went to high school a tad earlier, graduated in ‘78. While I can’t say I remember every encounter with every person (I often wouldn’t have had that clear a recollection a week later) I can remember the bad ones with people I knew, as opposed to some creep at a party I never saw before. Like the good male friend I…

Class of ‘85. I can separate the guys into the one who tried to assault me, and all the others who didn’t. And I know that the one who tried to assault me would be at the top of other women’s lists for being a great guy. 

Nobody remembers EVERY encounter with EVERY person they went to high school with.

“...here’s a signed statement from hundreds of kids that Sandusky DIDN’T molest. So on average, he’s a decent guy.”

On Friday, Senator Chuck Grassley, the Republican who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, released a statement signed by more than five dozen women who knew Kavanaugh in high school, which states that “[t]hrough the more than 35 years we have known him, Brett has stood out for his friendship, character, and…

I came to say NO SHE DID NOT but then I looked at the photo and yes. YES SHE DID. I will now go stand in the corner and think about how I ever dared doubt that Rihanna could pull off a look.

I’m interracial (black/white mix) as well, and I totally get what she’s saying. A few years ago I was in a s mall group meeting and two of the other women were interracial and it was the largest number of interracial people I had ever been part of. Seriously. It’s largely been a blessing, but I admit that I am extra…

This is all too true. It can be such a challenge being mixed, you’re often not accepted by either side, and people will tell you you can’t understand what it’s like to be X, even though you are treated like X because that’s how others see you. One of the many reasons I adore Maya!

MAYA RUDOLPH! CAITY WEAVER! MAYA RUDOLPH! *faints*

Oh my dearheart! I’m gutted for you. How insanely tragic. All the very gentle hugs and internet stranger love in the world.

You gave her the best you had, sweetheart. If she had to only be on this earth a short time, it was happy, warm, and loved, with you.

If it’s a first time bb, likely the labor started (like, hmmm is that gas or just a cramp) and went for a while before OH GOD THE WATER BROKE SHIT SHIT SHIT mode. So she likely had plenty of time to get to the hospital before panic time lol.

Ok, yeah. The pantyhose work for me, but I needed you to point them out so I could tear my eyes away from the fannypack crotch.

Is it wrong to already have a list of things I’d store in it?

Ok, I generally like the Fenty products, but...

The crotch on that harness? Uh, no. It’s so... I mean... It looks like the beginnings of a fanny pack.

Yes, I thought I was the only one who wasn’t seeing insta posts!

anyone else have issues on kinja with embedded instagrams either not appearing at all on mobile, or  appearing too wide and cutoff? i don’t see either of these. 

I would say there was definitely a clothing change because no fashion label would let its samples be cut off by paramedics, but do sample rules even apply to undies?  Is the general rule of lingerie thumb that you get to keep what you model?
