Here are white men poised to run big marijuana businesses, dreaming of cashing in big—big money, big businesses selling weed—after 40 years of impoverished black kids getting prison time for selling weed, and their families and futures destroyed. Now, white men are planning to get rich doing precisely the same thing?

FACT: 120 Americans die every day from drug overdoses. Watch President Obama talk about what we can do to help.

“feminism encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.” - pat robertson, american media mogul, conservative christian and former southern baptist minister blah blah blah

normally i would never post something that could potentially perpetuate false and damaging ideals, even to make an example out of it, however... this all just sounds like too much fun.  thank you feminism.  let’s do this shit

Like Amy of Gone Girl, the women who populate these books are generally given permission to do and say things that women know are against the code to say out loud. They are full of insecurity and worry and anger and paranoia expressed in jagged prose that leaves you unsettled and inwardly questioning why you are relating so strongly to the woman speaking. The least successful books in this genre, those “subpar” ones I mentioned above, tend to forget that honesty and unreliability is where the power of these books lies, not in the story of a virtuous woman who is better than all the others being deceived. We already have those books– this genre is for the women who are willing to admit to readers that the inside of their head is not pre-approved by the girl squad, and never will be. The best entries in the genre are more character study than mystery, and indeed, make that character study central to the mystery.
