People who are serious about BDSM understand consent better than damn near anyone else. In every community and play party I’ve been a part of, assholes who only get off on feeling power get sussed out pretty quickly. Seeing this excuse used here pisses me off to no end.

Can... can he still somehow be played by Tom Waits?

God, this is how it’s going to happen, isn’t it? No comeuppance, no catharsis, just an undramatic exit free of consequences. Fuck.

Dear lord, PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE make coverage of this great age of women’s wrestling a regular thing on this site....

Legit thought that header image was Erv Burrell from The Wire at first....

What an utterly self-inflicted wound on Blizzard’s part. Sort of like the owner of this series of websites, who shall go unnamed....

I haven’t been super enamored with Bernie at any point, but goddamn do I tip my hat to him for this.

Legit thought that was Erv Burrell from “The Wire” when I first saw the photo....

If this ends with Rey and Ben forming a Scully and Mulder relationship while traveling the galaxy together, I’ll be so happy.

For the longest time (like, well into the 2000s), Barnes & Noble ran their Bookmaster search program on Windows 95. I always wanted to at least make an attempt to get Star Wars: Tie Fighter on there....

Big Damn Hero right here.

Mayfield, Murray, and now Hurts have all been transfers. I’m genuinely curious as to whether or not this pace is sustainable before Riley has to recruit and develop a quarterback.

I still wish Arkham Origins got more love. I know it was made by a different company, and the gameplay was a bit repetitive, but I still think it had the best story of all four Arkham games. And the Joker’s dilemma with Bane at the end is classic (even though I was REALLY looking forward to seeing more Black Mask in…

That show was destined to be short and underappreciated, but oh lord did I ever love it.

“Women in domestic violence situations must leave.”

I work at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and while I can certainly understand this sentiment, there are many reasons why women can’t. Finances, lack of transportation, and no room at any domestic violence shelters are the most common. It’s far more difficult…

The very first thing we learned in training for my job at the National Domestic Violence Hotline was that the two most dangerous times in an abusive relationship are when a woman is pregnant and when the abused person tries to leave. In the cases of the former, so, so many women feel like they can’t leave their…

Thank you! I’ve worked in social work for close to a decade now, and this is hands down the best organization of which I’ve ever been a part. I’m hoping to stay here for quite some time.

Knights of the Old Republic II, as unfinished as it is. When I first started playing it, the switch in tone from the first game really threw me off, and made me long for the swashbuckling crew of the original, but the more I thought about it, the more I appreciated it. It’s also a perfect transition for a series that…

I feel like I’ve heard a version of this story at least once a day....

A few months ago I started a job at the National Domestic Violence Hotline, and lod, I can’t even tell you the sense of hopelessness callers express outright despair over the resources their abusive partners have in comparison to their own (95% of these particular callers are women, and most of them had been convinced…
