recently ive been thinking a lot about the fact i was sexually assaulted in the dorms of a college where i was not enrolled as a student. the person who sexually assaulted me was a student there. title ix was useless since i wasn't a student there. campus police was useless since i wasn't a student

sorry i can’t vaccinate my dog, i’m worried he’ll get autism. and that would make it so much harder for him to get a job so he can move out and get his own apartment??? i’m just worried about the economy mostly, now my whole family has rabies which we are treating with horse dewormer.

why would you even care if you dog was autistic. like, even in a world where dogtism is real why would it matter if your dog had it. he’s literally just here to vibe.

I hate to be Captain Buzzkill again but I saw a cosplay video with a ton of views using “uv clay” bare handed so here is your reminder that UV clay is a form of gel polish, requires a ton of PPE, and misuse/bare handed use could worst case leave you allergic to your teeth and bones! UV CLAY IS SCARY

People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Regardless of Talarico’s recent statements on trans people, Paxton cannot be rewarded for the extreme suffering he’s inflicted on me and tens of thousands of Texan trans kids.

Incredible sentence.

Indeed, while Jordan became a reclusive prisoner to his iconic status, Barkley lived to be out among the masses, and his nightclub hopping led to more than one mano a mano face-off with loudmouth fans. “Let there be no conflict in America,” Barkley said in 1997, after he tossed an obnoxious heckler through a plate-glass window in an Orlando, Fla., bar.

There are so many stories lately about people who died by suicide after falling into emotionally manipulative patterns with chatbots. We rarely get to hear how the people who loved them are coping after an unimaginable, senseless loss. This is one of their stories: www.404media.co/austin-gordo...

This is the nut graf here to me. The MLB needs to be fierce and put on a full-court press here, and they almost certainly won't, which means it will be open season on a sports league which relies on Latin American players to make billions.

"But what if instead they used mass surveillance for..." They won't. Not to any extent that matters. That's not the point of it, and everyone in a position of power knows it. Kill the part of you that wants to find a loophole to let the police state in. The answer has to just be "no."
