Remember, kids: Midterm elections exist and they matter. Get out and vote this year, and then do it again in 2018.

And yet the horrific predators exist. I feel like every time stranger rape is brushed aside with an “oh, but that’s not how the majority of rapes happen” remark, it invalidates my experience. I was raped by a stranger who broke into my home, held a knife to my throat and threatened to kill my 7 year old son if I…

Hm. I was thinking it was so common in horror movies because it’s so common in real life? Every woman I know has been sexually assaulted in one way or another.

Sadly, the social upheaval may provide a great deal of job security for you.

They weren’t sued was my point, and nothing you said has changed it.

There have been about 171,434,736 movie screenings* in America since Aurora, and two shootings in movie theaters.

Sprint had decent coverage in Raleigh when I first went with them. Then I moved to South Carolina. Couldn’t get LTE AT THE SPRINT STORE.

Yeah, that’s a terrible example, but I think the point that the “real world” does not adjust to you is valid. I think a better point would be the UChicago student I saw today deriding the lack of trigger warnings for spiders in a bio textbook given that he has arachnophobia. The spiders in your cupboard do not care…

How about the inverse? I’m a man who’s partner enjoys pornography. It’s had absolutely zero impact on our relationship.

Yes! With Lindsay Crouse as his wife!

My mind immediately went a good deal south of there. Hopefully you’re right and I’m ashamed

Awww, that’s cute! I mean sad. Very sad.

I don’t know if you watch OITNB but last season Pennsyltucky made a little ‘graveyard’ for her aborted babies with popsicle sticks and absurdly trashy names. So yeah, it’s about the same.

Texas being stupid, stupid Texas.
