Personally think I would do fine in a haunted house because I would set personal boundaries by telling the ghosts to “knock it off”

Something very special about an older untattooed woman telling you how much she likes your ink and then comparing your tattoos to classic art that she loves

Somehow only just found out that Laika is somehow making an adaptation for Piranesi which is... perfect? And maybe the only way such a spectacular book could be adapted?

The secret lives of men who read romance books: ‘My life is full of love, so I’m drawn to them’
It’s often assumed straight men are not interested in romantic fiction – but many are sharing their passion in forums online

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

I emailed the Cornell deans! You should email them too. They do not deserve a moment of peace for the rest of their slimy little lives.

Another time I was out with friends and got separated from them/surrounded by a group of guys who were being particularly rowdy. One of the bartenders (who happens to be a friend) left his end of the bar, where he undoubtedly would have made good $ and stayed near me until they were gone.

If doing the right thing means that your friends cut you off and don’t talk to you anymore then they were never your friends to begin with.

When I say not all men I’m thinking about the bartender who came over to me and said “Are you ok? Do I need to kick him out?” when I was cornered by a dude and clearly uncomfortable. He clocked it, kept an eye on me, checked in, and then checked in again after. The bar is literally on the floor.

Two of my guy friends here in town have been roofied because they drank the cocktails that the person slipping drugs into drinks thought were intended for their female friends. This shit happens all the time. At this point it isn’t shocking. It just hurts to know we might never be safe.

Also! I think I should be allowed to say what I consider to be a threat, not be told what is a threat by some high powered cis white man. I have never felt threatened in my life by a trans person and yet they’re the ones who are having their lives ruined, not these business suit wearing rapists.

I think about this regularly when I’m out. The fact that these guys ended up being drugged because someone was targeting their friends and the fact that if they hadn’t been there and accidentally taken the bullet something truly horrendous might’ve happened.

57 men were in that group chat and not a single one of them spoke up or did anything to stop what happened. They should all be charged, not just the 7.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

“It’s not ALL men.” 32,000 men in an Italian Facebook group devoted to drugging your wife and taking nonconsensual explicit photos of her and sharing them. It didn’t get shut down until a woman discovered and exposed it. www.bbc.com/news/article...
