I should add, I just asked my boyfriend this question.

He just stared at me for a second and finally said "Space wedding. Or racecar wedding"

I know, the current "solution" is not great. A lot of my favourite commenters and some of my "real" friends are in the greys, so I don't want to just avoid the greys completely. Also, it's still somewhat flustering when someone responds to me with a disturbing image — when the one who was in this thread did so, I…

It was bad enough to look at abuse gifs in the first place. It was worse that Gawker prioritized the privacy rights of abuse gif-posters over its loyal readership. It was even worse that Jezebel's response was to relegate broad swaths of its loyal readership (*cough*especiallyme*cough*) to second-class gray status, as…

I was going to say "Oh hey, a Republican who isn't a reactionary asshole, that's a nice surprise!".

If gay cultural history was mainstreamed in both public life and scholastically more then it is now, it would do so much to highlight the histrionic problems our society has not just with gay/trans/genderqueer sexuality and identification, but Femaleness. Not even feminism, femaleness. It's radioactive in its ability…

Still waiting for the Gizmodo feature on how it happened, the Lifehacker feature on how to make sure it doesn't happen to us, the Jezebel feature on how our culture allows males to feel that they can invade any women's privacy, the Gawker feature on how 4chan heard about the leaks, along with the TMZ call to get them…

"Statistics or not" is really fucking easy for you to say when your life isn't the one on the line. And beyond the fact that if it was really the "safer" option, it wouldn't be the most common point for an abused woman to murdered, believing that authorities will swoop in and save the day in cases of domestic violence…

There is as statistic somewhere that shows risk of violence and death increases when women leave their abuser. Some women stay because it's the safest thing for them to do.

I will post this on every article about domestic violence from here until the end of time. If you are experiencing abuse, it is not your fault. If someone you care about is being abused, you cannot fix it for them, but you can be a support and decrease the isolation they are experiencing. From loveisrespect.org:

"Celebrity nip-slips?" I honestly can't believe you just said that, it's not at all what that was. Those happen when someone is out in public and are accidental. This is someone actually making an effort to get private photographs that the public was never supposed to see.

Your argument is false. This isn't a nip slip. This is the deliberate, systematic and criminal invasion of multiple women's privacy, property and bodies.

basically, yes.

Funny cause I thought the lesson was more "Mind your business/don't be a shithead"

I think this is nonsense. Nude photos are made regularly in art photography, and have been done this way for decades. Please see Elinor Carucci's work for examples of what I mean. You don't need to be doing it for that reason, though. Maybe you just like the way you look naked on a given day and want to remember…

Victim blaming has no doubt already commenced elsewhere. I hope it doesn't happen here. Taking pictures of yourself, particularly if you keep them to yourself and don't share them, is a completely okay and normal activity in 2014. I have not and will not look at these pictures, but regardless of Lawrences's reasons…

Why provide the link? Serves no purpose.

God... They are the absolute worst. My friend's mom is an anti-vaxxer, and literally told me to my face that my Asperger's Syndrome was caused by me getting vaccinated when I was a baby.

Meanwhile, the cat is heartily congratulating himself on a job well done. Bad dog, indeed.

I don't even really like cats* and I would watch that miniseries (yes, gotta be a miniseries). Let's cast this!
