God bless Juliana Margulies for repping beautiful women of a Certain Age. She knocks it out of the park every episode on The Good Wife and my friends and I are always stunned by how beautiful she looks.

That's what Battleground Texas is about! Purple state in my lifetime, woo!

I always heard that Obama's election wasn't the end of racism in America, but the beginning of the end, the way JFK's election marked the beginning of the end of anti-Catholic prejudice (though we still haven't had another Catholic president!). Change comes in excruciatingly small increments, but this is a great one :)

I heard her poop smells like roses.

The problem is that photography was developed with light-skinned people in mind. Photographing dark-skinned people requires different techniques that most photographers never learn. This is an injustice, but one born of ignorance, not malice. The solution is to integrate techniques for photographing a wide variety of…

I'm loving all the commenters who are shocked, SHOCKED that all Texans aren't cowboy-boot-wearing good-old-boys who use gays and minorities for target practice. It's almost as if we're an incredibly diverse state of 26 million people of many different backgrounds, ideologies, and histories!

Someone has to be first. The same questions were asked of the first black children to attend integrated schools

I'm sad that it took this long, but I'm glad that it happened.

Here's my take: In the book it's about how fucked up their relationship is, and it's rough but consensual. The director indicated that that is what he was going for, and he intended for it to come across as consensual. HE FUCKED THAT UP VERY BADLY!!! So, taking authorial intent into account, I'm choosing to treat this…

In Sparta, the only citizens who were given headstones were those who had died doing their sacred duty for Sparta: Men who died in battle and women who died in childbirth.

I meant "I posted this reply in the wrong thread and Kinja only lets you edit, not delete. Please ignore."

The problem is that when you call "CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!" on stupid stuff like non-religious bindis, it give people an excuse to think all accusations of cultural appropriation are bullshit. You have to pick your battles. The use of head-to-toe cultural regalia as costumes, the sexualization of traditional…

Mistaken post. Please Ignore

Every South Asian woman I've ever talked to about this (and there have been many) has reiterated that unless it's the "red dot" a bindi is just jewelry. It's like saying rings in general are appropriating wedding symbolism, or wearing necklaces appropriates Christians who wear crosses.

There is no greater expression of privilege than getting offended on behalf of other people.

I would like to thank not only God but also Jesus

Alright. You win. I hope you're never successful, lest your children lose their right to safety.

Ok. So when exactly do the rich give up their protections as human beings? When do their children (who, I will remind you, have literally never known a different life or lifestyle) give up their right to be protected from humiliation, abuse, and possible death?

The number of misleading clickbait headlines in Jezebel articles is getting really out of control.

There's no way you can be applying the "societal conditioning" vs. "personal agency" debate selectively one way on prisoners and another way on Greek life members. If one group has enough personal agency to remove themselves from the situation, so does the other.
