Black woman here. I love hip hop and have actually worked (tangentially) in and around the music industry for years.

Tyler said that he thought addressing his fans’ threats might actually rile them up and worsen the situation, and insisted that by tweeting at Alison, he was trying to strike up a dialogue with her. “I wanted everyone to see that I was trying to speak to her like a regular person,” he said. “[Coralie Alison] never…

“Feminism” isn’t doing that. In the case of the UK it was a single government official who was allowed to do that under laws that, in my opinion, are too broad and have had a chilling effect on speech beyond feminism or LGBTs being “protected”.

Exactly. We are going to have your sisters raped because it’s embarrassing to YOU to be a brother to “dishonored” women. Like the good old days when a slave’s rape was considered trespassing on her owner’s property.

it’s natural to want to defend your country but publicly sanctioned punishment rapes might not be the best hill to die on...

My family originates from Irish peasant stock, which contributes to a somewhat no-nonsense attitude to death. When I was about six, my grandfather died in Ireland. Far-flung sons, daughters and their families gathered for the funeral.

My friend did not have a wake, she had a Martini Party in her memory a month after she died. The direction to have this party was in her will, along with the guest list for the party. She was just a lifelong wicked pissah (as they say in MA), so the eulogies (helped by tee many martoonis) devolved into hilarity - just…

This is kinda triggering for me, bc we are almost at the 30-year mark. It’s probably not funny, or strange, but it will be cathartic to write.

If she ever offers you Kool-Aid, don’t drink it.

Having experienced both, Jersey’s not even close. It’s like the difference between Yoko Ono and John Wayne Gacy. New Jersey is Yoko - tries too hard, is infuriating, and always gets shit for what they’re not to blame for (okay, and some that they are to blame for). Florida is Gacy - psychotic, dangerous, frequently…

When my son passed away, he was 14 months old and a friend had brought his young daughter up from KY for the funeral. It was late January and she had never seen snow so she started doing snow angels and playing in the snow at the cemetery. The other kids who were there were looking at their parents for the same…

Alright, I obviously was not there, but this is one of the best funeral/memorial stories I’ve heard to date:

I LOVE MY DEAD GAY SON.

If Jesus is really Q, I’m renouncing my atheism right the fuck now.

Wibbly wobbly, Christy Whisty

I do give him props for throwing his parents under the bus with no fucks given. His spelling and grammar, however, make me cringe.

Lol, I just said the same up top

They’re probably ashamed that they haven’t brainwashed Daniel enough.

Man, I’m not into violence at all, but it would be so satisfying if someone beat the shit out of Josh. It’s primal, it’s wrong, and it can get you into so much trouble that is just not worth it, but some men need a beating, you know? This guy Josh has never seen consequences for his actions. He molests his sisters and…

Her parents are fucking gross monsters. I hope they read this and hang their heads in shame.
