IF YOU RECALL: The self proclaimed feminist, Lena Dunham, came to the very public and disgusting defense of her friend, Murray Miller, when he was accused of pedophilia and sexual assault. The rape accusation was brought to light during the height of the powerful #MeToo Movement. Dunham was often outspoken in her support, although feigned, toward the #MeToo Movement.

The woman that Murray Miller had assaulted was African American Actress Aurora Perrineau. At the time of the rape in 2012, Aurora was only 17 years old while Miller was 35. Upon hearing the accusations toward Miller, Dunham came out to discredit Aurora’s assault account in an attempt to publicly shame her about divulging this information.

In her “apology” Dunham admits to LYING about having “insider knowledge” of the situation that would prove Miller’s innocence. Reading Lena Dunham’s apology is quite maddening, because it was more an attempt to gather public pity toward herself than to apologize to Aurora. She attempts multiple times to make herself the victim in this narrative, blaming society instead of her inability to sympathize and believe a sexually assaulted Black Woman.

@staff is there a reason you are specifically targeting lgbt+ people and people with disabilities and chronic illness?

Cause it sure seems like you purposefully took tags away, and are flagging wedding photos and people with chronic illnesses in order to silence marginalized people.

Mysteriously, the nazi blogs seem untouched by this crackdown.

man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that, it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.

and the craziest thing is they soak it all up like sponge! they understand! mama says cows go moo once and they will remember that cows go moo until they’re like 100
