My guess is she meant “vignette”, but the autocorrect made it a salad option.

You’re right. It’s just so... tempting when they show their own ass. 

Yeah, at the risk of sounding pretentious, I keep coming back to a quote by Ta-Nehisi Coates about how racism works, because it drills down so successfully on how bigotry works not so much by active malice, as by subtly and continually shifting burdens of proof off of those in charge, and onto the beleagured:

Never reply to these types. Their visibility just increases. 

The term “cultural marxism” was literally coined by Nazis. It’s inherently reactionary.

Because there the OPEIU is very small and hardly visible just now. It’s starting to change, but access to those large companies, law firms especially, is really difficult. Most admins don’t start off wanting to be career admins, they just get really good at it. Most of us began thinking it would do to pay rent, then…

OK, so we’ve ruled out the bones.

“The bosses offered it to him”.

we found the incel!

I recently re-read the book White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo, I needed to. Why? Because each time I read it, my mind opened more, I see the ways I am complicit in and reap the benefits of systems and institutions built on racism, white supremacy, white privilege as a “progressive” “liberal” “ally” etc. I see the…

The dilemma is women need men as work place allies. But striving to earn the respect of these male allies only reinforces the patriarchy and continues to prop them up as the standard. I have seen that quest for male mentors lead to hyper competitiveness amongst women. This is a result of the artificial scarcity of…

So many boneless white men.

There is an enormous burden on marginalized populations to advocate and claw and fight for themselves so they can prove themselves worthy of being treated *the same* as white men. Even collective action, as opposed to each woman fighting individually for her own coin, is not as fruitful as power structures making…

“Biden is a terrible person and a terrible candidate. Vote for him anyway, because thanks to the low, low bar currently set in American politics, the alternative is worse.”

Actually Trump didn’t “kill it” with white women, he won white women by 2 percentage points. Not that I’m defending the morons who voted for him. The 53% number was based on exit polling, which is notoriously inaccurate. Pew Research did an extensive poll that is more accurate:

FWIW, educated white women didn’t go *that* hard for Trump-

The problem is that Biden can’t seem to tell the difference, despite having had a front row seat to that intransigence. He seems to think the Republicans will suddenly change their tune and work with him.

Compromise is not possible in the current environment of conservative fear and baiting of white people scared of becoming a minority in the future.

He is not my ideal candidate either but ffs, Republicans don’t do this to each other, and that is why they win.

This is called vetting a candidate and it is a necessary and healthy part of any democracy.
