COTD right here! As an old, I have done my share of laughing stuff off and deflecting it. The only benefit I can see that we derived from this experience was this: It seems to have been easier for us than it is for the current generation to just dismiss, shove (literally), or walk away from men who were trying to…

I’ll say right now that I haven’t come forward YET because I’m scared to death of the money one abuser has, and the professional connections another has. I have no proof and no money for an attorney. I’m sure I’m not the only one trying to figure out a way to out them anonymously.

That expectation is still very real in a lot of firms.

It’s crazy how much of feminism has been about pleasing and placating men all in order to be a part of patriarchal institutions.

Generational note.

It’s not like the knobdobber installed the fucking lock button himself. All these creeps are surrounded by enablers and the women have no one they can trust anywhere at their workplace. Maddening.

I wonder who they should replace him with? So many options...

Does anyone buy, for even a minute, that Guthrie and the rest knew nothing about Lauer’s long-rumored issues? Please. Burn it all down. Starting with rapist trump.

Shout-out to Ann Curry!!! I hope you are celebrating wherever you are, hon.

He’s also a kid and sees this as vengeance for whatever bullshit his classmates pulled or whatever. Glory of Allah, my left tit. Pretending he’s some kind of believer is even more insulting than if he just did it to be an asshole.

how to kill someone with a knife

ACORN, iirc. That O’Keefe motherfucker dressed as a pimp and brought a white ‘ho’ to an ACORN office to try to catch them in the act of advising someone on applying for benefits illegally or some such bullshit. It ended with frothy-mouthed GOPers getting a voter-registering and community-organizing nonprofit defended…

This is awful. What can we do as American citizens to help? Is there anyone representing the government of the United States who might give a damn about this problem that we can appeal to?

Well at least the War on Terror will finally be ended... when the War of the Authoritarians begins

Fuck shopping. Today I took an 8 hour roadtrip with my dog to herd some goats and sheep. We had a blast, smell terrible and I’m so grateful for the amazing support I’ve received from his breeder and the dog community in general this year. Here is a pic of him looking dapper at a rest stop after we both peed in the…

Okay, so although I respect the opinion of others who say that everything happens for a reason, I don’t personally believe it does. Terrible, shitty things happen every day all over the world and I don’t think there’s a positive purpose behind any of it. Therefore, in case you’re my kind of cynical, here’s my…

My husband observed the other day that we’re basically an oil company that has an army.

I am so, so sorry. The only thing that I can tell you is that my parents walked up to the brink like four times that I know of, and they stayed together for really bad reasons. In doing so, they lost decades of their lives, and by extension decades of potential happiness. I sincerely hope that, despite the current…

400 year history of black women cleaning up and fixing damage done by creepy old white men.

May I someday have the wit and wherewithal to construct so blistering a takedown as this.

You, Mr. Harriot, are an absolute exemplar of the art of the written word. Thank you for this.
