So we're three days in to the largest #prisonstrike in US history. This is really, really, REALLY fucking important, and we cannot let it slide from the news cycle because flashier things are happening right now.

SO PACK IT IN, WE'RE DOING STORY TIME. Now, the prisoners are asking for a lot of very important things, having to do with shitty conditions and institutional racism. But their primary focus is LABOR and how little they get paid.

Partly because it's modern-day slavery, but also because it affects everything else.

If men were so repelled by the idea of "victimhood," we'd see far fewer of them screaming about how they are the REAL victims. They're not mad at the concept of "victimhood" in general. They are mad because they (grossly) see it as a form of "privilege" they are being denied.

PUT YOUR TIN FOIL HATS ON, we are about to go on a VERY wild ride.

I haven't been this excited since I first found out about the incredibly strange world of quicksand porn. Earlier today, due to looking something else up, I discovered that the official state folk dance of Illinois is SQUARE DANCE. "That's weird! We are not the South!" I thought. So I went to Wikipedia.
