In the News

[unforth]

Okay, so first off, lemme just mention that from now on I will always label the posts about random crap from the newspaper "In the News," and tag them "news" - hopefully this will make it easier for people to ignore them if they so choose. :)

I'm not even sure how to label today's article, it's so horrible - it's about acid attacks on women in parts of Asia - something I'd heard about before, but it's just heart rending. Read more....

That's horrific. I knew they were setting women on fire and killing them in those countries, but I had no idea they were also disfiguring them with acid. It makes me want to scream. I hope Biden's bill passes soon!

Yeah, acid attacks are pretty common in Asia. I read a story about a woman who was attacked with acid by another woman who found out she was having an affair with her husband.
