I know I shouldn't read Yahoo articles, let alone...
They just piss me off. People wonder why I dislike the general population so much. Go read Yahoo article comments. Anyway, there’s a story about Brittney Griner being told not to be open about her sexuality while at Baylor, and of course the comments range from “Who cares?” to “Check to see if she has a penis.” to “I’m coming out as being straight! Why...
It's weird...
When I log onto Tumblr, I’m inundated with posts telling me I’m inherently a bad person because I’m a man in a patriarchal society.

I typed out a whole post - a touchy feely smarmy number about suicide today. Why, you ask? Because one year ago today, I was hurtling my car down the 101 and into the middle of San Francisco to help navigate the crazy, surreal and devastating landscape that suicide leaves behind.

My mind is proud, but it aches with rage →
aloudonline:
I had this whole post in my head, or an idea for how I wanted it to go, but to add to the echo chamber of emphatic emotion isn’t going to make anyone feel any better. So, as I sort out how best to scream at the unfeeling gaping maw of the universe, we’re left with the burning practical question:
How can one help?
Here are a few things:
1) There is a benefit show tonight at T.T....

I make about 13 per hour and I can barely afford to eat, much less do anything else. I’m fully insured and still can’t afford co-pays or specialists… I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’d love the minimum wage to be $9 per hour and I know that would help a lot of people. Let’s not pretend like this is some bold new poverty-eradicating idea, Obama. Spare me the “no one who works full time...

Connecticut shooting, white males, and mass murder →
Rachel Kalish and Michael Kimmel (2010) proposed a mechanism that might well explain why white males are routinely going crazy and killing people. It’s called “aggrieved entitlement.” According to the authors, it is “a gendered emotion, a fusion of that humiliating loss of manhood and the moral obligation and entitlement to get it back. And its gender is masculine.” This feeling was clearly...
