We Don’t Retreat, We Recall | Lawsonry →
This is it. The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and United Wisconsin officially announced this month that recall efforts against Governor Scott Walker will begin on November 15. From the moment recall papers are filed, we will have 60 days to collect over 700,000 signatures. If successful, Walker would be only the third governor ever recalled in the country, and the first in Wisconsin. We’re...

When I was working in the corporate world there was a lot of anti-natural hair sentiment & even commentary because as long as it was couched in terms like “professional appearance” they can say whatever they like & it isn’t illegal. However, once I...

If the extremists get this into law, the next logical step is mandatory sex. Think, no right to abortion means that birth is no longer a right. For a right to exist, the opposite option must be available. When abortion is removed, birth is a mandate. It is no longer a right because , now, you must birth. When you must give birth, continued logic would be sex because...

No, actually. It dates back to when women were literally civilly dead once married and literally property. Not treated like property, but actual property. I don’t know why anyone really changes their last name anymore. I’m…

Way to go #OccupyOc!
”Do you have enough blankets?” the Mayor asked. “Or should I get you some?”
tobiasgh-deactivated20121011 asked: I love your take on the soldier. It's arguably even better than our original take on the story over at Atheist Fags. If you ever want to join AF as a contributor, you have an open invitation :)
wire-hangers-never-again asked: Kudos to your interpretation, Jesse. We appreciate your insightful response to such a disturbing view of America via the eyes of a soldier meant to fight for equality. Keep being brilliant. Brittany.

I think for many women in traditional roles, we also have lost any “me” time. I see this a lot talking to stay-at-home moms. While the working men will get time in the morning or evening (or both) to themselves to “unwind” from the day, women...

Last night, Oakland police destroyed two encampments of Occupy Oakland without cause, then used tear gas and rubber bullets on defenseless Occupy Oakland protesters.
This kind of police brutality is unacceptable, and Democratic Mayor Jean Quan must immediately condemn and investigate police brutality against Oakland...

They claim that it’s too awkward or unsexy to ask things like, “Is this ok?” “Can I (insert action here) you?” So I’m going to share some sexy ways to ask for consent if you are too uncomfortable ask the above questions:
“Does it turn you on when I do this?”
“Moan louder as I do something you like”
