I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, look! Thrubbing.

Celebrities backed JT Leroy scam:

No celeb was more complicit in the scheme than Ryder, who spun a tall tale to Steve Garbarino for his 2003 Vanity Fair piece, "The Divine JT Sisterhood," about how she befriended Leroy when he was a teenage street urchin right after her breakup with Johnny Depp.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Fucking EXCUSE ME???

If a woman who is raped becomes pregnant, the rapist would have the same rights to the child as the mother, said Krista Heeren-Graber, executive director of the South Dakota Network Against Family Violence and Sexual Assault.

Ok, upon rereading, I'm reading that incorrectly. She's not saying what I thought she was. But still? If that's true??????????

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, I think I need to start taking Krav. I expect that I may have to go to war to insist that I am a person.

Art Crawl!!!

Aimee -- she's is but she isn't approving of it, you know?

Why should the entire rest of the country listen to a state as sparsely populated as South Dakota? In what way do they represent me? I'm in the heartland too, you know.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Like Allyson is a person. As if.

Now that I've reread, yeah. I get what she's saying. My comprehension has been shot to hell.

If only we had defenses against those sorts of attackers. Grenades are easier.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Aimée, I knew a woman years ago in Alabama who had to share her parental rights with the sack of shit who had date-raped her AND been previously issued a restraining order after an arrest outside of her house. The lesson: stay the hell out of family courts in redneck states.

That sound you just heard? Was my cousin exploding in rage and frustration in Sioux Falls. She's been working hard against this.
