So you’re teaching your father the critical thinking skills that used to be the province of parents teaching their children? Truly, America has failed.

A woman who friended me because I was friends her son back in the day got super pissed when I started Snopes posting her bullshit. I never posted anything other than “Fake (snopes link)” but she lost her shit. Sometimes, she wouldn’t care because it was a “good story” other times, she wouldn’t care because there was…
I outright told someone “you know if the only site you can find it on is something like www.ObamaisaComunist.com or www.RepublicansWantYourSoul.com” or some other BLATANTLY slanted rant page there is a 100% chance it is made up totally”
Thank you for saying everything that I’m thinking right now and for posting the petition link, which I just signed. Glad the world has people like you
I’ve been in my home for about fifteen years and lived in this city for almost twenty. I haven’t displaced anyone. I was here prior to gentrification, the housing bubble, and the foreclosure crisis. When half the houses on the block were empty, we stayed. I picked fruit from the backyards of vacant houses. I kept an…
Lawns have been brown or absent in my rapidly gentrifying neighborhood for years, because many residents don’t have money for landscaping. Please reconsider your use of the word “ghetto.”
I have never personally experienced SoCal’s public education system. I do know that LAUSD is a school district in crisis, and I do not consider that very funny. Maybe you do. Perhaps you also find our statewide water shortage amusing, since you seem to think the intensity of my opinions on water conservation something…
I was a police officer from 2001-2003. This oops conversation recorded here is tame compared to some of the things that I heard at work. A raunchy work atmosphere is for some reason condoned in law enforcement circles. As a woman, I felt pressured to laugh at the blatant sexist and disgusting dialogue that took place…
For the better part of a year during elementary school, I was sent to school with two lunches because they discovered I had been sharing mine with a friend whose parents couldn’t pack a lunch for her. It’s much too easy for the EcoParent Militia to forget that there is a regrettably huge number of children still out…
THIS IS TRUE. I was walking out to my car one afternoon and these two humongous pit bulls came around the building toward me. My first response?
i once almost got in a bike accident because i was, basically, cat-calling a dog i saw on the sidewalk
WTF is an “elective organ”? Like, an appendix? Alright then, anti-choice fuckwits, if a fetus isn’t a woman’s body, then it’s a damn invader, like a tumor or a parasite, and she can get it the fuck out. Either it’s part of her body, in which case she has bodily autonomy, or it’s not, in which case she has the right to…
I think a lot of these gross dude-bros don’t actually think of women as people enough to make friends with them.
And I think the ones that ostensibly do don’t actually think highly enough of them to actually listen to them.
Sure, people discuss the attractiveness of other people all the time. Unless you are in an EXTREMELY casual situation with very close friends, the conversation usually goes along the lines of:
The only thing I found somewhat surprising was unidentified officer 2. That’s how low the bar is. “Wow! Someone spoke up to two people being complete assholes, that’s surprising!”
If it makes you feel any better, my kids go to school with parents like this. 90% of that preciously healthy shit ends up in the trash. The kid at the table with the Fruit Roll-Ups is king, but if there’s nothing but carrot sticks, they start fighting over the strawberries.
That really pissed me off. My high school was one of those super underfunded inner city public schools, and a vast majority of the students were on free lunches. I would like whoever wrote that quote to look these teens in the eyes and tell them how “ghetto” they are just because their cucumbers aren’t shaped like…
