This is actually one of the episodes that makes me glad S6 and S7 happened.

If owning a gun and knowing how to use it worked, the military would be the safest place for a woman. It’s not.
If women covering up their bodies worked, Afghanistan would have a lower rate of sexual assault than Polynesia. It doesn’t.
If not drinking alcohol worked, children would not be raped. They are.
If your advice to a woman to avoid rape is to be the most modestly dressed, soberest and first to go home, you may as well add “so the rapist will choose someone else”.
If your response to hearing a woman has been raped is “she didn’t have to go to that bar/nightclub/party” you are saying that you want bars, nightclubs and parties to have no women in them. Unless you want the women to show up, but wear kaftans and drink orange juice. Good luck selling either of those options to your friends.
Or you could just be honest and say that you don’t want less rape, you want (even) less prosecution of rapists. — A Short Post on Rape Prevention (via pathokinesis)

I heard the universe as an oratorio sung by a master choir of stars…the aria they performed was a song to break the heart…yet somewhere beneath it all was a piercing refrain of glory, glory, glory. — R.J. Anderson

London, 1601. A Conversation with Shakespeare
- BURBAGE: Hey, Will, I've been looking over this "to be or not to be" stuff, and I think we have a problem.
- SHAKESPEARE: Really? What?
- BURBAGE: Well, you know lines 78-80?
- SHAKESPEARE: You mean where I call death "the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveller returns"? What's wrong with that?
- BURBAGE: You do realize we have a ghost in this play, right?
- SHAKESPEARE: ...
- BURBAGE: ...
- SHAKESPEARE: Ehh, let's just keep it in. Maybe no one will notice.
