Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Congratulations, vw! best of luck to you both!
ION, I am wearing new shoes, and have realized that my jeans are a little too short for them. I feel awkward, and then I feel stupid for feeling awkward. It's just pants. Feh.

It's so much easier to blame women for wearing skirts than it is to stop rapists from raping.
Fuck off.
Whoa. OK I'll go fuck off.
Sox,
no brownies needed. Since I'm not a coffee drinker, complaint letters are what get me going in the morning.
VW - mucho, mucho congrats!
Burrel - someone was that rude to you? Missed that. Sorry it happened.

As in all things, it's complicated. Yes, if the reports are accurate, it's incredibly disappointing to hear that the police message is "ladies, cover up."
OTOH, at least the police are patrolling all of the neighborhoods where this is happening - Safe Slope so far seems to be interested in protecting only the richest/whitest blocks. So I'm not a huge fan of them either right now.
[eta: Brooklyn Bike patrol has been completely awesome and is now offering escorts from just about every subway station where an attack has been reported.]
Calling Billytea: Have you ever heard of the frilled shark? Wacky photos, man!
I had not! I'd heard of the other sharks in the article, though. The goblin shark footage is excellent.
