Sex Offender Village

psydoctor8:

We live in a society that is terrified of sex offenders, sometimes with good reason. But in some cases the perpetrators, and not just the victims, are denied justice. Every high-profile sex crime spawns a rush to do something about the “predators” among us. Unfortunately, these so-called solutions are doing more harm than good. In the past 25 years, the laws governing sex offenses have gone from punitive to draconian to senseless. The term “sex offender” simply covers too wide a range now, painting the few truly heinous crimes and the many relatively innocuous ones with the same broad brush. This overly broad approach wastes resources that could be better spent, for instance, on clearing the huge and unforgivable backlog of untested rape evidence kits.

Next up, things I’m doing about stuff which I might be able to talk about!

Natalie is extraordinary. She’s such a technician, as an actress. Natalie trained. She’s the epitome of when training meets talent in the best way possible. She’s naturally gifted and comes alive on camera. It’s a fantastic mixture. - Jonathan Rhys Meyers

You know who was nice to Arya? Yoren. He tried to get her back to Winterfell. They should have been married!
My boss has been studiously avoiding the fandom of ASOIAF until he’s done with all five books, but he asked me if people still hated Sansa after Clash of Kings. This was his reaction after I told him about people who think Sansa should have been happy to marry Tyrion. (via festeringfae)

“Blue is a good color on you, my lady,” Jaime observed.  ”It goes well with your eyes.”  She does have astonishing eyes.
Brienne glanced down at herself, flustered. “Septa Donyse padded out the bodice, to give it that shape. She said you sent her to me… You look…”
“Different?” He managed a half-smile.  ”More meat on the ribs and fewer lice in my hair, that’s all. The stump’s the same.”…
“The white cloak…”
“… is new, but I’m sure I’ll soil it soon enough.”
“That wasn’t… I was about to say that it becomes you.” Jaime, A Storm of Swords

Be of service. You are taking your degree into a society dominated by concentrated poverty and a vulnerable middle class, a society where it is harder to pay for education, harder to find a job, harder to buy a house and harder to hold onto those things even if you manage to get them. You are entering adulthood during a period of mass incarceration and near constant war. There is a lot for you to do. Service is the rent you pay for the space you take up on the earth, and as a relatively privileged American you take up a lot of space. We are the most consuming, polluting, wasteful nation on earth. So your rent is steep. Pay it with service.
