Rapists suing their victims is a depressingly common tactic, and given that most survivors have no evidence (because how could they), coming forward opens you up to not just the immense retraumatization of it but potential litigation—which the abuser may not win but it will sure as hell be painful and expensive for…

I am an asshole.
Good point about higher ed by the author- I also don’t buy the liberal indoctrination in higher ed thing, based on my own experience. I became the insufferable liberal I am today at a christian college. My teachers weren’t particularly conservative, but neither were they overtly liberal. And my peers skewed…
I don’t think she’s blaming others, she’s just highlighting the influence they had on her—she knows that she wasn’t very politically aware, and because she didn’t know enough about it to earnestly care about the issues, she used what resources were near at hand—her family and her boyfriend. I’m glad you made the…
Republicans have been true to the concept of fiscal conservatism in name only for as long as I’ve been alive. It’s propaganda that doesn’t have anything to do with their actual policies.

“got a nose job cause you were snorting too much cocaine and you burnt your nose out.”
Generally speaking, yes. The 20-week ultrasound is when testing for a bunch of genetic anomalies occurs.
I wear dresses, leggings, and flats because they are easier to put on. A couple of months ago my coworker asked if I constantly wore dresses as a “religious thing” which I found odd because the dresses I wear aren’t very conservative. Her eyebrows reached a new level when I explained that I do it because it is…
“You need to dress properly - it’s about respect!”
I am 92% positive these are the same person.
They were unable to leave the island for several months until charges were dropped. It wasn't simply 2 days in lock up, a horrifying event in itself, but they were de facto homeless as a result of kissing someone
Good that he is gone, but not good that the fact that the department didn’t sustain the complaint against him means he probably retired with full benefits and without any sort of punishment for this bullshit behavior.
You realize he is joking right?
This seems to be a strawman, because even her fans would admit she’s flawed. This very story mentions that.
It’s like she never grew out of the high school theatre nerd stage.
