I have just recently embraced the fact that I have always been (still am?) a swamp witch, and not a prairie witch as I so often declared from the swamp in which I used to live. I aspire to be a mountain witch, so that's where I am now, but I suspect I'll end up a bog witch.

I don't hate it.
It's disgusting that we need laws to keep grown men from marrying children. This should not be legal.

One of the issues of the women's suffrage movement was to increase the age of consent from 13 to 16.

"Child marriage" is still legal- but we don't hear about "child grooms" of 14 marrying grown women.

Should Megyn Kelly lose custody of her 14 year old daughter...before it's too late.

I really wish I was being facetious. I'm not.

Just gotta say as a trans person who gets death threats couched as "jokes", I'm glad that the rules are being applied this way. When mods are left to make subjective decisions about who is joking and who isn't, threats against marginalized ppl go unmoderated and we are told they dont violate the TOS

After Ghislaine Maxwell lied to Todd Blanche, someone waived her sex offender status and moved her to Club Fed with "OUT" custody - allowing her to work outside the prison walls. 3 months ago, I got her Bureau of Prisons points screen as proof. We still don't know who approved all this.
BREAKING: EXCLUSIVE: Senator Whitehouse asked the BOP for Ghislaine Maxwells sex offender waiver, custody level, transfer code, and security point score. I have them. She's also been granted the ability to leave the facility for work assignments. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/exclusive-...

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

So funny how pizzagate all hinged on the idea that elite paedophiles would never explicitly talk about their crimes via email and would probably develop some kind of elaborate code

Just came across an email where Michael Wolff and Epstein are discussing how to discredit Dylan Farrow's story about getting r*ped by Woody Allen by getting Soon-Yi Previn to "turn this into a love story with Soon-Yi. She's the only one who can save him" and I think I need a break now.

This is awful. Journey Aviation is doing TWO ICE removals to Africa via private jet right now. Both are likely third-country removal to prisons. Don’t know where the second is going to land yet. Could be South Sudan, Rwanda, or somewhere else.

Still awaiting word on Liberia ICE flight last week.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

Megan and women like her need to stop carrying water for the submission-kink patriarchy, they would sell her daughter in a heartbeat.
Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.

I see the “technically it’s ephebophelia” crowd is out today, so just a reminder that A) this is NOT a case where technically correct is the best kind of correct and B) the minute you say this, the gods dump you in the “irredeemable creeper” basket and wash their hands thoroughly after touching you.
