there was a really good article on ESPN a few months back about Christy mack’s recovery, I recommend everyone give it a read.

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

My mom did that shit to me when I was a kid, on top of all sorts of other things. I’d come home to military school catalogs on the kitchen table. My heart breaks for this girl.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Pretty shitty of people to use an amputee veteran as a thin veil for their transphobia

I dated this guys other son for a few months. Let me just say I am not suprised at all, this family is so disfuntional and repressed it blew my mind. I won't disclose my suspicions, but I hope the victim isn't who I think it is.

I thought thats how Coneheads have sex.

When you rubbed your forehead with Jay-Z’s, it seemed like an economical transaction

As long as Hillary’s policy positions keep moving to the left, to the left, I’m on board.

GIRL THE PEOPLE IN MY OFFICE CHEERED.

After deliberating for about 14 and a half hours, a jury in Massachusetts has voted to put convicted Boston Marathon Bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death.

I’m super sad about this. I’m from MA, and I know that my state is overwhelmingly against the death penalty, and even overwhelmingly against the death penalty for Tsarnaev, specifically. We should not be in the business of executing people. I don’t believe that counts as justice.

Sending him to Indiana is punishment enough.
