Short story, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas” was in some textbook I had as a kid. That perspective shaped most of my ethical and epistemological journey since. It comes to mind frequently, a sort of nursery rhyme against the underbelly of a utilitarian ethic. She had a way, and it shaped me. Rest in Power.

My partner has the same ‘do... and is the same age and also pestered mercilessly by his family for early hair loss. This cut is the best thing to happen to their heads in a while.

I’ll reveal enough about myself to say that part of my work involves Title IX (which, in addition to Clery Act and VAWA, occupies a lot of the legal concerns in higher education) and I have to say we started circulating this list as soon as we heard about it. It was marginally comforting to not see our institution…

Intersectional feminism matters. Where white women (self included here) continue to benefit from white supremacy and are protected to a certain degree by misogyny, they will continue to vote and ACT against the broader interests of their own gender. It really is an impressive study in lifelong Stockholm syndrome.

Oh my god, you mean Urban Outfitters Inc. tried to steal and profit from someone else’s IP? Well color me shocked. o_o

Someone remind me, is this the same dickbag who tried to dig in his heels against the SCOTUS ruling on same-sex marriage? Or are there multiple Roy Moore’s out there?

the star is already there, but OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG GINSBARK WINS

I find it adorable that Bob Weinstein’s lawyer thinks it’s not harassment because there’s no touching involved. Quid pro quo sexual overtures are the baseline definition of workplace sexual harassment. Who the fuck finds these people?

Opening line made me snort out loud in my office. Good man, yourself.

Yeeeaaaahhhh, the worst ones I know are the “nice guys”... they’re pretty resoundingly vipers dressed as doves. An honest dickhead is easier to deal with, and many more of them have the introspective tools to be made aware of their biases and relearn how to live as a feminist and ally, rather than a dickhead.

I’m irritated that we came all the way back around from mermaid to siren and I’m protest-voting for Baba Yaga. Will continue to wear my glitter eye shadow though.

Reminder to all that mcmansionhell.com exists and is awesome.

I came here hoping that Harpy would be in contention. I’m over being a mermaid; I want to pick people up in my talons and drag them to Hades for a living.

Just to be clear, Perkins has been liquidating for years. The legislation that created it expired a long time ago and schools that have the program haven’t been able to make new awards (e.g., anything other than continuing students) for some time. So that really isn’t a thing.

Horace and Pete wasn’t really comedic at all. It was a lot more like a play in front of a camera. Edie Falco was amazing as always, and Louie wasn’t just playing himself like he usually does. For the sake of Falco and Buscemi (and Hawkeye from MASH), I’d tell you to watch it.

Personally, I think Louie should’ve…

The fact that DNC can’t be bothered to pay attention to special elections when they are grossly outnumbered in both houses makes it all the more telling that they still don’t get it. Jesus what a waste.
