Filing a restraining order often results in immediate retaliation from the abuser--beatings or murder within hours/days. They often put women in MORE danger. About 11% of women with restraining orders are murdered by their partners, just following the restraining order being granted. It's a trigger.
How ignorant & smug. Do you know how many women are murdered *after* getting restraining orders? A lot. It's common. Restraining orders are worthless without enforcement, and why expect enforcement when at least 40% of police beat their own wives? www.providencejournal.com/story/news/c...
That's funny, because Republicans were telling us that seniors should be happy to die during the pandemic just to keep the economy going. Per Texas' Republican Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick on March 24, 2020: www.vanityfair.com/news/2020/03...
My Portuguese publisher really hit it out of the park with this cover for the translation of "Offshore: Stealth Wealth and the New Colonialism."
Check out the bodacious wild bee butt on my front porch, going to town on the petunias.
More spine-tingling Robin Cam, this time featuring both parents, one of the bebehs, and an Unfortunate Worm.
"lite-rape" bro specifically calls out the Epstein files as an irrelevance, just to clarify that what the UN calls "crimes against humanity," he thinks is just HR lady bullshit.
The commitment of some men on the left to denying that rape is a crime that destroys lives, that it is a sustained campaign of political terrorism designed to oppress the majority of the population, should make you laugh at every claim they make about opposing human rights atrocities anywhere.
This is Thiel's offshore strategy imported to US shores: Find the weakest state (one so poor & desperate it will let rich guys do whatever) & launch the most insane, dangerous unethical project possible. He did the same by going to St. Kitts to do unethical dangerous medical experiments on humans.
Better run and tell the federal judges who obviously don't understand the law as well as you do.
Ecstatic to report the arrival of a new clutch of Porch Robins--the 4th since I bought this place. So glad I left the disused nest up there, just in case.
The fake jobs" complaint is incel code for "women can earn $ for their labor & that enables them to reject men like me." Dissing college is part of that: higher ed must be devalued, bc women are outcompeting men on that terrain. They want involuntary servitude for the majority of the population.
Ministry leader, you say? I thought he was touring this summer.
Aggro man loses his shit over the incendiary phrase "Nutella is from Italy" then asks what MY problem is?
Look everyone, Baby is trying to play some obscure game of gotcha with women calling out Platner. Let's all forget about rape and its perpetrators and focus on what's really important here: clapping for Baby. Clever Baby! Watch Baby derail conversations about sexual violence!
Why is she doing that? Conflict among extremely long and slim people is very funny looking: they're like angry eels.
Coming back to an article I copy-edited a few weeks ago, and now it appears I've instructed myself to insert NEWT EMERGENCY into the text. Was my scrawl referring to the semi-aquatic salamander or to the husband of Vatican ambassador Callista? A mystery for the ages.
How do they treat large wading birds? Given their propensity to turn all manner of things into haute cuisine, I might have been a tad nervous in your place... Have you heard about your poor cousin the ortolan and its fate in Michelin-starred restaurants? www.nytimes.com/2014/10/15/d...
Sir? You support a man who wrote frequently of his love for rape as a tool of domination--but not in a gay way!--& of pissing on the corpses of enemy combatants (a war crime). You're in no position to be scolding HRC or anyone abt their alleged bigotry. Just say you're a male supremacist. Own it.
...but apparently kids with autism CAN grow up to be the world's first trillionaire?
Brain stems recognize predators. If you recall what RFKJr did to his late ex-wife, he already marked himself as an exceptionally dangerous man. Did you see what Melinda Gates said about meeting Epstein? What you're feeling about RFKJr is an echo of that. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Musk & the broligarchs believe the ultimate flex, the most coveted status symbol, is to FORCE reality to reflect their fantasies. Trump does this constantly. In particular, Musk & other apartheid alums (Thiel & Sacks) want to trigger race war. Softens the ground for their neo-colonial project.
