Disgusting

But Norristown had what's known as a nuisance property ordinance. Her landlord could be fined and have his rental license suspended if police were called to the property more than three times in four months for "disorderly behavior." Unless, that is, he evicted his tenant.

After that first warning, Briggs — who also had a 3-year-old daughter — was reluctant to call the police when her boyfriend beat her up. But one night, when they got into a fight, he slit her neck open with a broken ashtray. When she woke up in a pool of blood, her first thought was not to dial 911.

About goddamned time, Dems. First the filibuster and now a sit in? Apparently old school is the only way to get the Refucklicans to pay attention. I'm actually having a moment of pride for Congress right now.

RIP Goddess Diamond

Exactly. We aren't ashamed at all.

This speaks to me. As someone who has always had a little pot belly, YES.

Female Rage-READ THIS

When the internet loses its shit over what, to many, looks like a single, insignificant incident unrelated to anything else, it’s easy to say they’re fucking nuts. They’re raging over some perceived slight that’s been blown waaaaay out of proportion. That, in truth, is the easier narrative. There’s a reason folks say things like “Women are crazy” to explain away some perceived hurt or slight, because it’s easier than thinking through why that rage makes one so uncomfortable (often because one is complicit in acts that contribute to that rage in some way by perpetuating both sexism and the belittling of women’s voices). It’s easier to say people are crazy than to try to figure out why.

Sunday Snippets: VOTE

GET THEE TO THE NEAREST POLLING PLACE AND VOTE YOUR FACE OFF.

Located in an isolated and economically languishing area of North Dakota, Spirit Lake is a Sioux Indian reservation home to some 6,200 inhabitants.

Obstetric Violence

My heart just broke reading these stories. Yes, a healthy baby is a great outcome, but what about the mental and physical needs of the person giving birth?

Expensive as fuck to be poor

FEELS Puppies are the best.

Why I'm Returning to My Maiden Name

Women's own identities were disappearing. In fact, the concept of removing a maiden name from your public identity is so engrained in our culture, it's the top contender for a secure password reminder at banks and in online forms. When I came to better understand our own history, as recently as the 1970's, state laws in the U.S. still mandated that a married woman needed to use her husband's name to vote, open a bank account, or get a passport.

How Society Pays When Women’s Work Is Unpaid

Worldwide, women spend an average of 4.5 hours a day on unpaid work, including grocery shopping, child care and laundry. That is more than double the amount of time men spend, according to O.E.C.D. data. Men spend significantly more time on paid work and also on leisure activities, which include playing sports, watching TV and hanging out with friends.

Here's the Real Immigration Problem That Donald Trump Isn't Talking About

The rule: In 2009, the now-deceased West Virginia Sen. Robert Byrd slipped a quota into the Homeland Security Department's annual spending bill requiring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement "maintain a level of not less than 34,000 detention beds" at all times.

Sunday Snippets: In Law Visits

My mother in law is visiting our house for the first time (she lives in FL, so we don't see her often) and this will also be the first we've seen her since our wedding. I really adore her and my mom also isn't batshit crazy, so we kinda flout the stereotypes. Our fathers, on the other hand.....

Daily Reminder Fucking sad that none of this surprises me

*Hork* Gag worthy

Redlining is Alive and Well—and Evolving

“Redlining,” the practice of banks and real estate agents steering black and Latino families away from predominantly white neighborhoods, is often spoken of in the past tense. We tend to think of it as a vestige of Jim Crow, of a thankfully bygone era when people wore racism on their sleeves and wove it into neighborhood engineering without repercussion.

Some recent cases, however, show that not only is redlining alive today, but that it’s also evolved in many cases into racist practices that aren’t as detectable as they were during Jim Crow.

Sunday Snippets: Hurricane?

It's been a little over three years since Hurricane Sandy. I'm hunkering down with the husband, cats and copious amounts of liquor to ride out this latest storm.

Horrible

“They said it’s safe, but it’s brown water,” said Marshall, also a radiology coder, after the meeting.“Why do we have to drink brown water? No one else has to drink brown water.”



What happens when a young girl of color goes missing? Who searches for her? Who tries to bring her home safely? Not the police, as the short film Muted shows.

Sunday Snippets: Cleaning

Three times a year, I deep clean the house; flip the mattress, scrub behind the toilet, etc. Only this time, I get to do it fighting a cold and Satan's waterfall. Thank god there's scotch in the house.

#NatashaMcKenna

At the start of the encounter, a deputy says, “Natasha, we’re here to take you out,” and then McKenny utters her last words: “You promised me you wouldn’t kill me. I didn’t do anything,” McKenna says.

Fucking heartbreaking.


Oh, but we live in a post-racial world! Fuck these assholes.

This moron

But that won’t do either, apparently. Her lawyers’ petition, which you can readhere, claims that Bunning’s expanding the injunction was inappropriate, and that he’s shown “extraordinary doggedness” in letting legally eligible people get married willy-nilly, without offering Davis “jurisdiction or fair notice and opportunity to be heard.” It also claims that her clerks were “coerced by the threat of contempt sanctions” into granting marriage licenses.

One Year after Michael Brown

The actual people behind Stonewall

Horrible.

Sarah Lee Circle Bear, a 24-year-old Native American mother of two boys, was pregnant when she died in police custody in South Dakota last month, Circle Bear’s family says....On July 5, Circle Bear was found unresponsive in her cell at the Brown County Jail in Aberdeen, South Dakota, according to reports. She allegedly cried out for help because she was suffering from excruciating abdominal pain. But, said a witness, jailers on duty told her to “knock it off” and “quit faking.”
