For Women, Darker Skin Tone Means Longer Prison... →
“Researchers say this is the first study to look at how colorism affects black women and how long they may spend in jail. Part of the reason may simply come down to how pretty jurors consider a defendant to be, and that being light-skinned and thin (also a factor studied in the research) are seen as more attractive, says Lance Hannon, co-author of the Villanova study.”

Odd psychic experience just now with a demon snail
So I’m listening to my paranormal radio program just now, coast to coast. And I suddenly get the urge to draw. I start drawing something random - a “demon snail”. (Snails are usually one of the first things I think to draw.

Why you're an asshole. (and so am I)
Studies prove we get a quick high from reading things that agree with our point of view. The same studies proved that, strangely, we also get a rush from intentionally dismissing information that disagrees with our current point of view, no matter how well supported it is.

Monster in my body
Spider eggs planted in my soul. Permanent stain. Lost control. A corpse in the mirror. An egg with a crack. It could not be clearer there’s no going back. There is no repairing what’s already been. My memories dig like a tick in my skin. Roots mold to the pot where the plant first grew. You can’t outrun a monster whose body is… you.
Right now somebody is cutting themselves. Right...
