Actually our prisons are full up of people who use and sell small quantities of pot. There’s no room for violent assholes like this.

not about this case, but it still applies:

That’s only because your daughter is too young to know that by loving Ghostbusters with girls, she is ruining some nerd’s childhood.

So HUGE! I mean, is there enough fabric in the WORLD? No. There isn’t.

They give HIV tests, educate asthma and diabetes patients, remind the elderly to take medicine, and perform a myriad of other tasks now at more than 200 thinly staffed health clinics in 17 states and Washington D.C.

This is all bullshit and I’m glad she will get a dress and I love her and everything about her.

I like your modest proposal for designers.

but rather a size 8 or 10,

She’s not only a giant, she has the nerve to be a Black giant. A Black giant who isn’t even a model and isn’t even light-skinned. Just who does she think she is, expecting to wear dressy clothing and have a few designers respond favorably to the idea of dressing her!

My humble suggestion is that celebrities should wear fashion designers on the Red Carpet.

I know a couple of people whose parents realized they weren’t cut out for school, let them drop out and get a GED and pursue some kind of technical training, as you describe. They’re all really successful in their chosen fields. I really wish we had more of that in this country over the “everyone should go to college,…

Well, hello fellow Gator! I know if you finish at a CC you’re guaranteed admission into a SUS School, but I’m not sure what the transfer rates are to UF anymore, as I’m pretty well removed from that. I went back for grad school about 5 years ago, and I was really surprised at how much harder it was to get admission…

hmmmmmmmm, though it’s sort of adorable to imagine a version of me that would stop doing something simply because my boyfriend wanted me to, that’s not what happened here.

On a side note, I got greyed after making this comment yesterday.

They say they’re experienced hikers, yet they don’t know how to navigate without GPS. You look at the sun’s position, it’s not that hard.

Fuck that. But Birkenstocks are heels? It makes me happy to know that I’ve inadvertently been putting ‘extra effort’ in to my feminine look all this time without knowing it!

I’m one of those upper middle class parents, and the conversation we’re having is about (1) trying your best, and (2) there’s a college out there for everyone. Where you go is not who you’ll be. Life is too short for all this shit. We’re in California and our public schools— where my husband and I both went to…

Dudes I’ve dated (even long term) in the past have said they were proud of me behind closed doors, but would often opt out of events where I received an award or accolade of any kind.

I’m a long time out of college but my parents advice would have been “do better at another school and transfer”

IT is unutterably sad to me that her parents did not sit her down and make her realize that she did not get in to the college of her choice because she did not earn it. Bottom line. These upper middle class parents need to get real with their offspring: race and money can only get you so far. Granted, it will get you…
