I posted this elsewhere but since I’m perennially grey thought I’d respond to this thread: the charges have been dropped. From the DA:

“But what I think they meant is that in certain lighting, at certain angles I am able to embody certain cisnormative beauty standards.”

Basically the Queen is all, “Hire dozens of nannies! We’re royals!” and Kate is like, “I hate you.” Which means William was probably all, “Granny dear, would you mind easing up on dear Kate? She wants to be a mum to Charlotte in the way she pleases,” and then the Queen was like, “I swear to god, the men in this family…

I BIND YOU, SONY, FROM DOING HARM. HARM AGAINST OUR TEENAGE SELVES AND HARM AGAINST YOURSELF.

I could probably submit one of these about myself. Many years ago when Subway sandwich shops were rocketing to the top of the national consciousness with the “Subway diet” I stopped in one day to eat with my family. I was a teenager and was waiting behind my family not really paying attention until I got up to the…

Fucking brava, Anna.

The Avett brothers can keep on the sunny side...of my pants.

I’ve posted some of these links on other articles, but just want to direct everyone to proactive ways to help, if you are interested. I have seen a surprising lack of this on my facebook feed.

Honestly I don’t know if the opinion im about to express is morally correct or makes sense to anyone but fuck it I’ll say it anyway. Although I do want to say before I start on my rant that I’m not from the USA but from Britain and that I felt the same about the London riots a few years ago.

That’s the thing. Dementia is a slow, awful journey and I fully understand and support people having sex in earlier stages and/or based on their cognitive/physical abilities but at the point they are in a nursing home, especially with evaluation by staff that indicates they are not able to consent I feel that’s…

Here’s the thing about this that was easy to miss in the segment: Part of the reason that rapists maintaining parental rights is important is not just because of the possibility of rapists gaining visitation/custody rights. (Obviously, that’s awful.) It’s also because rapists can use the threat of suing for custody as…

I have come to the conclusion that men who go out of their way to insist that rape culture doesn’t exist have probably raped someone.

Killin’ it, Jia. Thank you for this.

Also, consider adopting an older animal! I got a senior cat from a friend and she's the best pal I could ever ask for. Trained, calm, and just wants to be on your lap/against your side the entire time. I lucked out because she's really healthy *knock on wood* and still quite active/vocal/responsive, but having her has…

I worked in restaurants all throughout my 20's. Sexual harassment is a part of the job, so much so that, as both CA Pinkham and the woman in this story say, you just grow accustomed to it being a part of the job, ESPECIALLY from the kitchen staff. I have this strange feeling even typing this, that just acknowledging…

So, I read the entire e-mail exchange on the Buzzfeed article you linked, and here's what I have to say:

To me all this really boils down to is: "It makes me uncomfortable when I have to think about people of color as people" and of course "This is reverse racism, now white people can't get 95% of all roles ever."

Perhaps they were time-traveling Cardinals from the 15th Century who were hungry after having excommunicated Copernicus for his anti-Ptolemaic notions of a heliocentric solar system.
