It’s awful for content creators, but I also feel that brands should have greater control over the types of content on which their advertisements appear. Where advertisements appear can have significant impact on a company because, many times, it is perceived as tacit approval of the content during which they appear.

The “parody” video goes like this: Gary Richards makes a call to “Harvey,” a seedy EDM management guy running operations out of a dank basement, to request some “up-and-coming girls” for the bill. He decides that to get his male DJs on the bill, he’ll just put “fake tits” on them to pass them off as women (because in…

I’ve occasionally seen Latypova’s work on sites (with attribution and linking, of course) as examples of practical armor for women that also manages to look aesthetically-pleasing.

I think that it’s sold out. It’s currently only available through third-party sellers, and none of them are considered add on items.

Reference video!

I was talking to a colleague about the show yesterday, and he asked why anyone would want to watch anything so unabashedly depressing. I think that many people feel the same way as you do.

Gut feeling: Haber initially spoke in defense of the officer based solely on his (and probably corroborating officer) statements and without looking at the footage. The media release was issued well before any significant investigation could have been performed.

A coroner’s finding of homicide is not the same as the legal definition. It just means that someone’s deliberate actions led to the death of an individual. It doesn’t indicate intent and it doesn’t necessarily mean that a crime has been committed.

Yeah. I assumed good faith and have generally appreciated nerdybirdy’s comments, but it’s one of those things that I have an immediate negative reaction towards. Hopefully my comment was clear enough and not in the least accusatory.

As an autistic, studies about empathy are kind of one of my special interests. This is largely because I lack cognitive empathy (the ability to discern people’s emotional states) and have an excess of emotional empathy (the ability to feel sympathy for other people).

... now I want to see if I could get my body stuffed with glitter when I die.

Many people absolutely believe that there is a “LGBT+ agenda” and fear that providing services to members of the queer community is supporting that agenda. It’s ridiculous and makes absolutely zero sense to me, but it’s a thing.

This is glorious. I need this. Uh, do you do commissions? I like supporting independent artists!

+1 for Professor Layton!

Dyscalculia! I know of a number of people who have the condition.

My husband’s family is like that! They had a farm and, despite being a blended family (I believe that it was both parents’ second marriage and they each already had children), they adopted additional children. A number of his siblings have then gone on to adopt children as well.

This is amazing!

John Crawford III was shot because a guy lied to the police and police believed the lie. The biggest crime there was that the liar should have been charged with manslaughter and instead was all, “just an innocent mistake.”

We’re now at a point when a black man needs to worry about being shot while buying crafts supplies at Michael’s.

Clearly you don’t get the almost-daily coupons texted to you that include up to 60% off purchases!
