Comment from my bestie on my outraged FB post this morning:

No record, no mugshot, no criminal past, legally permitted weapon, complete cooperation, all on video.

Yea and how you’re forced to have the same convo again and again. “Are you excited” “Omg so excited! Chubby cheeks and little shoes! I love them already!” and God forbid you say “not yet, I’m actually terrified and don’t feel any emotional connection yet”. It’s not so much being pregnant in public as being forced to…

I thought the same thing until they mentioned she made no effort to hide her pregnancy either. She just kinda existed while pregnant. Everyone is entitled to do pregnancy their way (mostly) and if this worked for her then more power to her. If someone wants to take 8 million pregnant nudies in a cornfield and put them…

I don’t think she is criticizing pregnant women in the public, I think she is criticizing how other people are with pregnant women. They always want to touch your belly, ask about when it is due, names, gender, blah blah blah.

She must have been one of the lost boys of Sudan.

Spoiler: he dead.

Heart of Darkness: needs more white ladies 2/10 would not read again

Every time I’ve read “angel hair” I’ve thought “pasta”.

In tribute to Ms. Linton, I am also announcing my new memoir, recounting the time I sailed up the Congo River to search for a mysterious ivory trader named Kurtz.

Sooooo, her bio says she’s currently 29, which makes her 12 years of age in 1999, the year she says she lived alone in “the jungle with big spiders and poor little children with AIDS and, and, and . . . insert cliche here.”

Um, if you are convincing a black out drunk girl to have sex with you, you are not having sex with someone that has properly consented.

only a rapist would think like that—that by getting drunk all she was doing was offering up an opportunity to any passing dude capable of raping an unconscious woman (like you—because you saw it as an opportunity too, and proved that by making this comment). at least you know yourself, right? cool. you should go look…

That’s exactly what youre doing.

But??

Yep. That quote from the judge -

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

We aren’t and we don’t need to be. A lot of people have some form of cognitive disability. They’re still responsible for their actions so far as they’re able to understand them. If someone’s functioning at a level where he’s able to carry out a plan to threaten to cut someone else with a knife unless she allows him to…

... why would you bring a knife into the bathroom just because? Was he planning to, perhaps, julienne some carrots while he was in there? Mince some onions? Cut some tile he was planning to lay?
