This isn't just about gun violence. This is about raging patriarchy and the radicalization of men. EVERY lede to these stories that uses the gender-neutral term "shooter" helps erase the fact that this is MALE VIOLENCE.

Please make the connection between mass shootings and the rise in femicide, revenge violence among boys towards girls who reject them, online harassment, and all of the other ways that men are rampaging around holding the country hostage as a reaction to social failure.

I just realized something. I think that leftists like to catastrophize about things like imminent food supply crises and martial law because it allows them to keep spinning out about threats to themselves while doing very little to address the less dramatic crises that affect people who are

This will be controversial but I completed my MDiv without any extensions because I knew Sundays were going to come no matter what was going on in my life and if I was going to be a preacher I had better develop a serious "get 'er done" discipline.

This man was literally bullying and insulting everyone on a Facebook Sondheim group who "didn't get" that the "MWRA" film is a masterpiece.

I love meeting people who randomly met friends of mine who think that they should also randomly meet me. Sometimes the best introduction is "Hey, you two are in the same geographic location, you should meet!" Immediate American auntie.

I still occasionally grieve that there was so little haberdashery in the costuming of Game of Thrones. The North remembers, but the North was also in subzero eternal winter with NO HATS. Why, John Snow?

Plays and movies just don't need to be that long. What is this wearying trend and whence?? BIGGER IS NOT BETTER, gentlemen. And I say gentlemen because it's male directors who are pulling this exhausting nonsense.
