Aside from me not liking people being able to perv on me while I sleep, I’m all for it. Can I be here alone? OK, well then - yeah, of course - bears. So, maybe just one big strong person with a weapon and me? Yeah, he could be pretending to want to go to Finland with me because he likes me but all along he really wants to kill me and this is like, his dream come true. Alright fine, shit, I’ll just post a picture of it on Tumblr.

MinnPost surveyed 158 public defenders in Minnesota, and the results paint a bleak picture of justice for the poor.

Some very nice data-assisted reporting.

Totally off-topic, I just find it interesting that the illustration is of a woman. I couldn&#8217;t find data about the percentage of Minnesota public defenders who are female, but over 70% of lawyers (in general) are male. Then again, this is a graphic about lawyers being unprepared fuck-ups who can&#8217;t do their job&#8230;

Serious Question

How would you explain death to a 3-year-old?

She has lost her grandma, a dear family friend, and just this weekend, her other grandma. All to cancer. All in the last two years. (Cancer can go fuck itself, by the way.) She saw them while they were in hospitals and hospice, clearly ill, deteriorating, but is emphatic that they will get better and come back very soon. She is heartbreakingly expectant.

My tactic so far has been to have no idea what my tactic should be, feel sad because I miss the person too, start to cry, then promptly change the subject before she notices I’m crying. I know. Smooth, right?
