Science isn’t always right. As queers, I think we can agree that backwards scientific and medical concepts about homosexuality, heterosexuality, transgender identities, and everything else under our umbrella have complicated our lives, and if you make it through a women’s history class without walking away with a little bit of skepticism about the “hard sciences” and what…

President of Lincoln University Slut-Shames Black Women, Incriminates Black Men, Asks for Silence Around Rape

The president of Lincoln University, an HBCU (and incidentally my grandfather’s alma mater), has managed not only to stick his foot in his mouth, but swallow the whole damn thing.

Jenningssuggested that women…

One of you may be revealed as a blanket stealer. The other person might think that blanket stealing is a crime punishable on the same scale as manslaughter and corporate espionage, but a decent round of cuddling usually cures this orneriness. On that note, you will definitely find out who is the space heater and who is the living icicle. It probably is in direct correlation to the stealing of blankets.
