I want the names of every man who visited the online ‘rape academy.’ I want their next of kin. I want their place of work. I want their headshots on every billboard. I want them in the town square. Right where we can see them. I want them fearful. I want them second guessing every woman they know. I want them looking over their shoulder. Harried. Hurried. Nervous and afraid. I want their palms sweaty. They’re breathing shallow. I want them to taste the fear that we have lived with for all our lives. I want them to wonder if their next step will be their last. Then, I’ll gently tell them that it’s not all women and we’ll see if that appease them. If they sleep easier. If they can relax. Knowing that not all women want to drag a knife across their throats for what they’ve done. Only some.
A comic wherein a dog expresses his wish to talk with his human, thanking him for everything - “Even this” (going to the vet for the last time) - telling him that he’s had so many fun times and was so glad to be with his human. At the end, the dog says “thanks for everything. I had a wonderful time.” The dog and the human embrace.
Screenshot of three tweets from William Shatner which, in summary, say that each new Star Trek series has had its detractors, but Star Trek is different for everyone, and it’s right that it is. He says that it exists in the realms of fantasy and science fiction, and imagines the explorations and the slow creep toward human perfection. Finally, he says he is sad to know that the newest Star Trek series has been cancelled.
