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…

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.
Yesterday: My glasses became loose and I needed the screw on the side to be tightened. I had to go to THREE opticians before I found one that was able (and willing) to help. While walking around, I checked out some stores and their...

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...
Congrats to P.i.G! Three time Champions!
improv-is-easy:
P.i.G is a fine example of how improv can be easy.

indiecagematch:
Well guys, P.i.G really brought home the bacon on Sunday. Swoon and Sheldrake both had great shows too! Congrats P.i.G, and good luck in Cage Match at UCB Chelsea! Come back...

thanks to josephurgolookingatthings for the submission

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...
