Re: Jonathan Majors — The first thing I want you to remember is that everybody is capable of anything. We live in a society that has so many hierarchies that work in tandem to oppress and exploit people and predators are frequently protected and rewarded. It is a society that makes it hard for…

This is where I rant about the fuckery of it all — Every day, I wake up to fewer and fewer human rights.
