Ha! I got a similar one at school. A teacher told me that I had been recommended to her before because I was a very good writer, which “surprised her.” And then she said, “Yeah, you kiiiiinda have it” making a super annoying, fake, exaggerated face meaning “I guess, maybe, I’m not totally sure.” So unnecessary.

This is pretty mild, but Jesus, it stung at the time. I spent a long time very active in slash fandom before the overwhelming, unrelenting misogyny got too much for me to handle. I didn’t write, for years, but I edited people’s stories, enthusiastically recced stories I loved, and generally spent a lot of time gushing…

Are you fucking kidding me?! If I had a dollar for every time somebody made a derogatory racial comment, realized they were with me, and said, “I didn’t mean you. You’re different”, Bill Gates would be looking up at me on the Forbes leaderboard. And it hurt. Every.Fucking.Time.

Imagine for a moment that you’re gay, but the guy stood next to you doesn’t know that, and he says something horrible about that gay guy over there. Different minority group, but the same principle.

Just because the bigot didn’t meant to offend you doesn’t make it hurt any less.

I’m 100% Hispanic but am very light skinned and grew up with a white last name (long story) but I think I’m just as capable of experiencing racial discrimination as my darker brothers and sisters. Because many white people have assumed I’m white, I’ve been privy to their racist comments against minorities because…

I thought the girl who got treated badly by one of the Boondocks Saints would be here. He was such a dick to her.

“She needs to give up that dream like yesterday.”

Nobody in their right mind would let this woman teach students under 18. She needs to give up that dream like yesterday

Sounds good, I'm on my way.

Actually, at that time—until the mid-80s and Cher, really—all the celebs just bought dresses off the rack and did their own makeup for the Oscars. (ETA: Occasionally, a costume designer they worked with would make something up for them—like in the Edith Head studio days.) Many of them talk about it—Meryl Streep, Jodie…

Nparents? Nfather? Emother? Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue what this means?

I guess "nparent" is "narcisstic parent", but what's an "emother"?

Recently had a situation with an Audi RS4. My buddy bought the car "certified" and based on that good faith it was shipped here from FL. I did a detail on it, and noticed a few things- namely an incorrect gap between the hood and right front fender. I figured it was just an adjustment on the hood, but uhh- No. After…

It sounds as though the owner of the vehicle may have settled with his insurance company. Per the story on Cape Gazette, it states "After determining the Camaro was totaled, the Hoopers' Geico adjuster estimated the car was worth $44,176"

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hooper,
