EXACTLY.

Curran says she has been receiving death threats since Wednesday, when the clip of her making small talk with Jay-Z (talking over Beyoncé who, indeed, looks visibly annoyed)

You guys actually ran a whole article on what her instagram looked like. You’re not absolved of responsibility just because you’re suddenly worried. This was a predictable outcome.

The fact you had blogs like Jezebel do two entire separate pieces on Curran in which she was described as Beyonce’s “new enemy” (I guess sarcastically but with Jez, who knows), making sure to let us all know her social media addresses and with photos taken from it, shows that the Beyhive may be a problem but there’s…

Teachers can barely pee. Give them gifts, don't make them do more things that don't include peeing. 

I’ll admit that I read this and, as a teacher, my response was pretty tepid. Like, it’s a fine idea, but most parents have very little idea of how much emotional labor we do in our job. This just felt like one more emotional task added to the already-exhausting list. Like, would it be the most odious task I’m asked to…

Sounds about White.

They remind me of the genetic experiments in one of Alien films realizing how screwed up they were and begging “kill me.”

Counterpoint: Don't kid yourself, Jimmy, if a turkey had the chance, he'd kill you and everyone you care about!

My running theory was that they were similar to the “winners” in film ‘The Running Man’ in that even if they had won and were pardoned, they still died anyway behind the scenes.

That is a goddamn excellent friend.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

I said this at an earlier post and I will have to repeat it:
