Must share this today:
Amanda Palmer and Reb Fountain have just released on YouTube their mashup of two songs I could have never imagined could work together. The “Blurred Lines” + “Rape Me” mashup was inspired by Lizz Winstead who asked Palmer to cover a traditionally sexist song for the fundraiser DoReMeToo.
“Blurred Lines” is a grotesque, rape glorifying song. And it became a big goddamn hit. You likely already know this. It’s vile. It’s offensive. It’s fucking awful. Also, breaking not-so-fun fact, Robin Thicke has been accused of sexual assault by supermodel Emily Ratajkowski. She says he grabbed her bare breasts on the set of the video for the goddamned song back in 2013. This news broke two days ago. My heart breaks for her for having to endure this. This song sucks tremendous ass. Everything about it.
Until now that is.
Conversely, Nirvana’s “Rape Me,” despite the title, is an anti-rape song penned by Kurt Cobain in the early 90s. The band only performed it live a couple of times, including on Saturday Night Live. “Rape Me” is not an “easy” song. Those are difficult words to hear, let alone sing along with. But it’s also empowering. A song can be many things at once, lest anyone forget.
You can read the original post here. Just Wow!
And on to worse: I can hardly wrap my head around this heinousness.
Nuns used crucifixes to rape girls during decades of abuse carried out by clergy in France’s Catholic Church that saw attacks on 330,000 children covered up ‘by a veil of silence’, damning report finds. You read that right.
I just can’t comprehend how this was allowed to go on for so long. You would expect the church to have some morals, they preach so much about it. And yet, there are still many people devoted to the cult of religion, even with evidence like this. HBs cannot be saved from themselves. Why is rape so prevalent, pervasive and accepted in society??
I often feel like I fail at “human-ing” but damn, I should get a gold star for not being one these creatures.

Texas asked an appeals court on Friday to reinstate a near-total ban on abortions in the state after a federal judge this week temporarily blocked the law.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to issue an emergency stay by Tuesday morning.
The emergency stay request was in relation to US District Judge Robert Pitman’s preliminary injunction blocking the law.
Pitman, in a ruling late on Wednesday, put on hold the law, which prohibits women from obtaining an abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy.
The case is part of a fierce legal battle over abortion access in the United States, with numerous states pursuing restrictions.
The US Supreme Court let the law take effect on September 1 in a 5-4 vote
Everywhere you turn, it’s more sickos
