*finishes Tabloid roundup, closes laptop*

THIS IS WHY WE NEED INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM. Sorry for the caps, but this kind of case DESERVES to be looked at and reported on as if under a microscope. Little snippets of information in tv soundbites and the subsequent social media outrage doesn't lead to lasting change like a well-researched article can.

This series by the Times and Hardy — which should win a Pulitzer — is going to lead, I believe, to a very very quick change in that law. It has to. This. Shit. Is. Fucked.

Everything about this story makes me livid, starting with their wanting to separate a family because "Marsha and I always planned to have five children". These abominations would split up traumatized siblings because it didn't conveniently fit in to their plans. That should have absolutely been a red flag right from…

Dear State of Arkansas: file child abuse charges against these scumbags posthaste, because isolating a child for hours on end IS abuse.

I don't understand how "rehoming" doesn't constitute abandoning your child. Can you legally "rehome" your biological kids as well just by handing them over to some stranger?

At my boyfriend's good friend's wedding we were at the "after party" at a bar and a girl who I had previously been chatting with very casually who appeared super sweet (I didn't know anyone and was there with my boyfriend) appeared out of nowhere and BEAT THE SHIT out of her boyfriend. I was standing with my back to…

So a friend of mine had a very low key wedding. There were maybe 30-40 guests, it was catered by a BBQ place and a Russian deli (for the groom's side of the family) and the beer served was home brew from the groom in addition to a few craft beers and wines. Really really tame and in a beautiful outdoor venue. It was…

I expect to have two such stories by the end of the year. My brother is getting married in May and my sister is getting married in July. My family has never met my brothers future in-laws, and from my understanding his future mother in law is very conservative and thinks my brother is an alcoholic (She doesn't drink…

Mister Tea and I are both from the same tiny Midwestern town and when we got married 21 years ago, we decided to have the wedding in said tiny Midwestern town because even though there is nothing to do there, it was still infinitely better than having it in the slightly larger Midwestern town we lived in at the time…

Not my wedding but my cousin's. My other cousin (let's call him "A"), is also the cousin of the groom, and is a huge crackhead fuck up. Apparently he owed money to the bride's cousin's boyfriend, who was also in attendance at this wedding. Said boyfriend starts talking shit to cousin A and his mom. Meanwhile it's an…

This has been the conversation one of my co-workers has been having all day. How nothing makes the news anymore unless it happens to black people or gay people. As a WoC, I am squirming and angry. I hate this fucking bullshit.

Yeah, this just came from EGRPac.

It's not a game. It's the only way the modern GOP has been able to secure power despite losing the popular vote for the past 25-30 years.

This pun is almost as good as the one in your username.

and at Madonna too

Aaaah, tumblr and it's capacity to spread fake quotes...

Maybe it's because Madonna has built her entire career on passing off other people's innovations as her own and making sure the original authors of things don't get as much credit for their work as she does.
