A tip for smutfic writers: the word “sizeable” will never be sexy in any context whatsoever.

“Idris Elba brought me roses and a sizeable homemade tiramisu.”

That is the sexiest sentence I have ever read.

Everyone cheering for Jeff Bozo’s soon 2 be ex wife bc she’s taking half his money and could affect Amazon like she hasn’t been married to him for 25 years profiting from his evil company and probably having some say in if not at least encouraging his inhuman choices in running it.

When u say Down with the 1% u gotta mean their accomplice wives not just the Straight White Men

In shitty but unsurprising news, men leaving their wives who have been diagnosed with cancer is 5x more common than women leaving their husbands who have been diagnosed with cancer.

where are you getting your stats? what source of information brought you to this conclusion? none I assume, but I would love for you to prove me wrong.

It’s literally a hyper link to the study

“Chamberlain and his team found that although overall divorce rates of couples with one seriously ill spouse were comparable to the general divorce rate in the US, there was a marked difference depending on which partner had received the diagnosis. In cases where the husband became seriously ill, divorce rates were actually far lower than average at three per cent. However, a staggering 21 per cent of wives who had been diagnosed with serious illness ended up separated or divorced within the same time frame.

In fact, Chamberlain’s study revealed that in ninety per cent of post-diagnosis divorce cases, the wife was the sick party. The researchers suggested that a possible explanation for this striking difference could be that men find it harder to take on a care-giving role.”


WHAT THE FUCK!?!? this is goddamn horrifying.

“Find it harder to take on a care-giving role.” 

Bullshit.

They don’t want the burden of a sick wife who won’t be taking care of them. Like good ‘ol “sanctity of marriage” Newt Gingrich divorcing his wife who developed cancer. 

I always want to point out that not abandoning your wife is the lowest possible bar, and husbands who don’t do it are unfortunately not necessarily supportive beyond this bare minimum—I once read a blog article by a guy who volunteered at a breast cancer resource centre (he was their first male volunteer, ever) and who wrote, about the boutique where the women tried on wigs:

Many clients came in with female family members or friends. These clients only came in with female family members or friends. During my two years at the center, I never once saw a client go into the boutique with a husband or male relative. I asked the staff about it. One manager said, “Same as the volunteers: guys won’t go near the wigs. Guys are wimps.” Sometimes a woman would come in for a wig… nervous, uncomfortable…and she’d get help from me or the staff, total strangers… and you could see her husband out in the parking lot… sitting in the car, listening to the radio; they couldn’t even come inside.

I’m also reminded of that study on organ donation rates across Europe, that found that among married hetero couples, 36% of women who could donate a kidney to their husband did so, while only 6.5% of clinically suitable men donate a kidney to their wives.

Men ain’t shit

Actionable solidarity.

this was in North Carolina in response to Samuel Oliver-Bruno being baited by ICE into leaving his sanctuary church. Samuel was taken from Raleigh to George to Texas and has now been confirmed as deported. His wife is medically ill and his son still lives in NC. Here is a link to how to support Samuel and his family: https://www.sanctuaryatcitywell.org/help

I know some people who go to this church and basically what happen was that Samuel has been in sanctuary for a year. He was there because his wife was receiving medical treatment and he was the sole support. He has lived in North Caroline for over 20 years. In 2011, he moved back to Mexico to be near his family until 2014 when his wife became ill and they returned to the US. He was granted a work permit and driver’s license. In nov, 2017, he was informed that his permit would not be renewed and he was to be deported, which was when he took sanctuary in City Well church. Sanctuary means you cannot leave the church building (except under extreme circumstances like a fire or other emergency). He applied for a Deferred Action of deportation with the USCIS. He was told there would be a hearing for this at the USCIS office on Nov 23, 2018. He arrived at the office along with the pastor of City Well and several church members, who conducted a worship service on site to prove that Samuel never left sanctuary. When the hearing was supposed to begin, ICE agent in regular civilian clothing forcibly arrested him for immediate deportation, which is when the events outlined in the article above occurred.

The point is this: THE DEFERRED ACTION HEARING WAS A TRAP, set by ICE and the USCIS, specifically to arrest this man who had been living in protective sanctuary for over a year.
