This is not personal, but it's as good a time as any to bring up how much I hate the "I can't get too upset about this" or "I can't muster that much rage over this" comments on stories about women's personal experiences. As though another woman's experience has to be measured and qualified by your specific…

I want one of these to ward off sexual advances from people I don't want to sleep with. "Oh, this old thing on my bed? Just the giant polyester penis pillow I sleep with every single night. Of course I'm not lonely and desperate, silly. Where are you going? Come back, Walking Penis... I mean, New Friend! I haven't…

Open relationship?

I'm a grad school TA. Honestly, there have been one or two moments where I thought a student might be flirting, but more likely they just wanted to get into my class next quarter.

I've heard rumors of one or two TAs going down to Undergrad Bone Town, but it just seems so not worth it for several reasons, least of all…

Strangely enough, Target makes me feel awesome. Where else can someone with 42" hips wear an XS size dress? They and Walmart are seriously leading the way in vanity sizing.

Thank you, Kara. Another aspect to the importance of social media is this: reporters losing their jobs. AP used to have a dozen stringers in my state, now there are 3. One of the larger papers in my state just closed down their state house bureau and laid off the guy who has been on that beat for 26 years. The…

I'm seeing one too many black celebrities give their awful input about this situation and their general opinion is that black people shouldn't be angry about this situation because ~hate breeds more hate~ and we are the ones responsible for the racial divide in this country and blah, blah, blah. It mystifies me how…

When ex-military are commenting that they rolled lighter in Afghanistan than "police" in St. Louis, I think that is an indication that the terrorists did actually win.
They have turned us into them.

You know, I had this crazy thought.

The transcript of the cop talking to her makes me SEETHE with rage. Fuck you, buddy.

That's my vision of hell - a fully realized recognition of the damage you did in your lifetime. You understand, viscerally, the pain you caused to others. If you're genuinely sorry and capable of empathizing, you're forgiven

when my little brother sits up and defends 4chan (a place i avoided because my internet-new brain KNEW it was a horrible palce) i figured he was gone too deep. i'll let him drown with the rest of the kiddos that find a little harassment online to be THE BEST PAST TIME EVER.

fuck all y'all, y'all motherfuckers need…

I have never been so filled with a white hot burning RAGE on behalf of someone I've never met. Poor Zelda.

I've heard that people who are frequent internet trolls exhibit other behaviors in line with psychopathy, such as extreme narcissism, sadism, and Machiavellian tendencies. A University of Manitoba (yay Manitoba!) found a strong correlation between trolling and traits on the Dark Tetrad.

Said it on Facebook this morning, saw it a lot in the Gawker comments - time to away with internet anonymity. No censorship, just post whatever you want to post with your first and last name next to it, linked to your Facebook account or email address. If you think it's okay to taunt a grieving 25-year-old with…

First off, this is absolutely horrid. Secondly, if you murdered your mother and put her in a suitcase, would you not attempt to flee...I don't know, say out of the country and not 6 miles away to have a siesta? Put in a little effort, guys.

But, but, but! Aren't men always telling us that catcallers are doing us a favour and aren't at all dangerous and likely to harm us?

This kinda says everything about the real motivation behind a lot of catcalling, huh?

THANK YOU SO MUCH HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT MY HEART NEEDED JOANNA. OMG HIS PANTS HIS PANTS!

I heard her doing a radio interview driving home one day. National Fucking Treasure.
