exCUSE me, Google??
an exchange with a hospital nurse Shirley Jackson recounts in her memoir, which Google somehow manages to make worse through its suggestions:

"Occupation?"

"Writer," I said.

"Housewife," she said.

"Writer," I said.

"I'll just put down housewife."


Google: Consider changing to:

Put down the housewife

Case in point: Encountering a random bone could be a bit unsettling but finding a random pile of skin would be fucking terrifying.

my fully unfounded conspiracy theory is they want the TSA agents to quit so they can claim a shortage and replace more of them with them with ICE

I read TKAM in 9th grade so that seems about right for advanced 8th graders, and I think EVERYONE should read Roll of Thunder and 8th grade’s as good a time as any.

Just needs alt-text:
How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE* 

sexual violence centre cork 

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS 

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE. 

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM. 

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU. 

5 IF YOU ARE IN A LIFT AND SOMEONE STEPS IN, REMEMBER NOT TO SEXUALLY ASSAULT THEM.

*for perpetrators.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

This is wild to me bc my mama died of cancer when I was a kid and because of that I want EVERYONE to have access to the best healthcare possible. If there’s a way to prevent what happened to my family happening to someone else’s, sign us all up ASAP! I can’t think of a better way to spend our taxes.

Two Irish support acts who had already wrapped on Ed Sheeran’s tour - Biird and Amble - have published statements in support of the Palestinian people, with Biird also saying they support the artists who have withdrawn from the tour.
We cannot drop out of a tour we are no longer a part of. We joined the loop tour for two shows in June. We stand with the Palestinian people. Free Palestine. Following the decision for Macklemore to be dropped from the Loop Tour, we feel it is important to be clear about where we stand. Our time on the Loop Tour has already come to and end. Our last show was at the MetLife stadium where we witnessed Macklemore’s speech. We stand unequivocally behind every word he said. Our support is with the people of Palestine, with the artists who have made the difficult decision to step away from the tour and with anybody that speaks up against Zionist lobbying groups. Ní saoirse go saoirse an Phalaistín.

When Milo and Gavin came to my campus, the night ended with one of their employees standing in the middle of the street screaming “the Holocaust didn’t happen,” a statement so vile it is outlawed other places. I was told there was no way to have prevented this and to do so would make us less safe.

remember when a member of richard spencer’s entourage fired a gun into a crowd during his college speaking tour and they kept letting him speak on college campuses? it was about two months after a woman was murdered at an event he was headlining.
