weaziller: katespencer: katgeorge: Last night I was sexually assaulted in the street (well, tonight, but I’m publishing today so I’ve edited as such). Let me be clear on this; I wasn’t actually physically harmed in anyway, but I was put under threat for my bodily integrity (that I might be raped or beaten), which, in Australia at… Kat is my co-worker at VH1 and speaks some damn truth...

Today...
… I remembered what I loved about London and how much I loved it, after having had a reminder of what I hated about London and how much I hated it yesterday.

Woman in Comedy: A really scary thing happened to...
digsyfinallyhasa: gabydunn: Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and...

The language used in defense of these bills by the Republican Reps was nauseatingly dismissive, oversimplified and utterly ignorant. Here is some of the language in this article - it’s such a violation of a woman’s body that I am flabbergasted people let this happen in a country...

Curiosity And A Feline Christ
dcpierson: If it’s true curiosity killed the cat, then I suggest we revere that cat as a sort of Christ-figure who died so that we may experience the glory of curiosity in all its bookstore-hopscotching endless-Wikipedia-loop-inspiring glory.  Thanks, cat.  Because of you I can buy records by the people who influenced the people whose records I already liked, and to go back and back and back...
