Sara and I are having such a good time with @revelandriot !!!
once again i am just here to remind you that sugarbooty is the best follow decision you could possibly ever make.
…is that he’s a domestic violence committing, female co-star intimidating asshole. You can read the details of what he did to his female partner at the link. Regarding his treatment of female costars: Kiera Knightly didn’t want him spanking her during one of their scenes in a film & said so while tied up; in reply he said “Keira, you’re tied to a bed. You’re not really in a position to say that.” So when a woman is obviously scared and uncomfortable, his response is to scare her further, really make her feel her powerlessness to control what happens to her body. So that happened. And then some of his fans talked shit about her for not fully appreciating how wonderful it would be to get nonconsensually struck by him.
Basically, I don’t understand the attraction at all. I don’t understand. I want to push him out an airlock every time I have to see his hateful face. I want him and every other man who abuses women off my fucking planet. Kinda now.
But, yanno, I also want to shout “he freaking beat his wife!” whenever I see Sean Penn, so I guess I’m just a ~sensitive bitch~.
I find it interesting that I see their faces on my dash semi-regularly (mostly Fassbender), but apparently Chris Brown’s attractiveness isn’t sufficient to make his domestic violence inconsequential.
Susan Sarandon has a long history with protests.

The latest update from Occupy Wall Street says that Mayor Bloomberg is planning to close Zuccotti Park for “cleaning” at 7am on Friday, October 14th. This tactic has been used to shut down protests before so Occupy Wall Street is asking New Yorkers to come to Zuccotti Park tonight (October 13) at midnight or call 311 to express their support.
Josh Harkinson from Mother Jones is tweeting tonight from Zuccotti Park for anyone who wants to follow events online.
