Atwooded again, it seems.

I don’t mind people saying things like that jokingly, but otherwise it feels like benevolent sexism. We need equality, not to be put on pedestals.

for more attention. I mean more awareness.

Now I’m stuck on the idea of someone trying to cut tile with a knife...

Brilliant. Clinton is so much better than she’s given credit for. She’s intelligent, thoughtful, and experienced. She’s made mistakes, but so have we all. Plus, she’s learned from them, which unfortunately cannot be said for Trump.

This makes absolute sense and my heart aches for this man. Having said that, that's a fucking amazing picture.

In all seriousness, the over-prescribing of opioids is a serious problem, and I will eat my hat if this doesn’t unleash the litigation wave a la tobacco.

It’s either that, or moves to Big Sur or Joshua Tree for a while, discovers her inner Stevie Nicks, and comes back to Los Angeles and makes her California Record™.

Taylor’s gonna move back to Nashville now, start wearing old-timey dresses, and make a record direct to 16-track analog tape with either Dan Auerbach or Jack White producing. JUST YOU WATCH.

My ex’s 17 year old “babysitter” took his virginity when he was 12. When he told me this, I asked if he ever got counseling for being molested and he acted like what happened to him was completely normal.

Well, I did, and I also knew that he, at 17, had been involved with a 23 year old teacher. I didn’t offer the info. She…

It’s baffling to me as well. But in certain ways its a fundamentally natural result of subscribing to the idea that “boys will be boys.” Which, shit like this makes clear to us, victimizes boys, too.

Don’t get me wrong, this woman is disgusting, but what I can’t wrap my head around is the parents accepting their “relationship” which wasn’t a relationship it was sexual abuse.

YEP.

Thank you. Not “relationship,” either. Predatory behavior and grooming. And fuck that fucking family.

Not “sex.”

This American Life recently did an episode that featured the story of a woman who was circumcised as a child. It’s really wonderful and worth a listen: http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives…

I love the opposite of wokeness being “some sleepyhead shit.” Can I use that?
