God I'm so tired of seeing rapists everywhere. I hate these fucking braindead pigs, I hate watching them gorge on power and money for no reason except that they want it, I hate knowing they're torturing women with impunity, I hate seeing their smug stupid fucking faces on the news.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. (Published May)
