One of my guesses is that the citywide test doesn’t accurately measure reading ability. (I teach at community college and our most recent standardized placement test has been a disaster in terms of marking ready students “not ready.”)

GOOD.

When Draymond Green has to break up your fight...

She often goes color-coordinated and in softer shades, though. This is one of the few times I’ve seen her wear a contrasting hat and blouse, and in such vibrant colors! Very flattering.

Slightly off-topic: There is nothing about the Queen’s outfit here I do not love. Even the brooch is on point.

Could have gone with Prester John legend. Maybe too obscure?

I am here because my ancestors came to the US when it was nothing more than a pipe dream

U.S. immigration procedures give people up to one year from the time they enter the country to apply for asylum. The actual immigration law says it is not necessary to have entered the country with a visa in order to apply for asylum. Once you apply for asylum, you are here legally until your application is decided.

Roughly 50,000 undocumented Irish in the US, according to CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/16/us/white-irish-undocumented-trnd/index.html

Most people here illegally entered the country legally, then overstayed their visas or, like Melania, maybe start working a job they don’t have the right visa for. Many people here illegally were trying to stay here legally, but got fucked by a system that is absolutely intolerant of the tiniest procedural error.

Nothing?

Shade. I am, like, 95 percent sure that was shade.

>“I don’t think it was on there to begin with?”

Looking at the cast list, it’s Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Shuri (Letitia Wright). Florence Kasumba is playing Ayo, but I don’t see Aneka ☹️.

Ramonda, Shuri’s mother.

OP was about the comments, not the article as such. And I have to say, the first comment I saw here was fucking racist and dismissive, which is both predictable and tiresome.

Signaling status is more important in DC than in any other city I have lived in. I got a guy to stop hitting on me in a bar by telling him I was a paralegal.

I have seen partners in a K Street law firm wear guayaberas in August. Not to court, of course.

When I lived in DC in the previous century, seersucker suits were often worn. After all, it IS a Southern city and the weather from June to October is fucking hot, with 98 percent humidity and a whiff of ozone and pee.

Hope you’re sarcastic. Fear you’re accurate.
