Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

years ago, while watching Peacemaker, I turned to my husband and said “John Cena is slim thick” and he just silently put his head in his hands tonight we’re watching F9, I made the same observation, and he had the EXACT same reaction

One of the best Disney Channel Original Movies to ever air, Don't Look Under the Bed means a lot to us here at Darker Times. Aigner Loren Wilson writes about her experience viewing the film, reflecting on its impact, the idea of disbelief, and more. Read it here: www.darkertimes.com/dont-look-un...

Are there annoying people in the story? Yes. But there are annoying people and cringey drama at Boston area lesbian bars too.

But this stuff goes way back. Shay's Rebellion was a revolt of Western Mass farmers against the state's taxation policy that tried to get Western Mass to pay off the state's entire Revolutionary War debt.

If you're not from Western Mass, you will completely miss the dynamic that the Greater Boston area has been exploiting the western part of the state since literally the founding of the country. The Globe writes these stories about WM and the Pioneer Valley on a regular basis.

I just think that when a reporter stirs up shit about some random dysfunctional lesbian bar people ought to check out how said reporter hangs out online with monsters like Jesse Singal and Chris Rufo before sharing it to mock all the dysfunctional drama shit

lmao great job everyone, they’re absolutely going to do more stories farming drama in the queer community now. amazing stuff everyone. if only people had an ounce of self-control to see when an article was purposefully spotlighting an issue that could’ve stayed off the page

Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe's managing editor said it was "by far our best performing story of the year," and appears to be "on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records."
