Yeah, even if it would be more paperwork, if the goal is to get kids to be more physically active and healthy, rather than just making sure your school is checking off a curriculum requirement set by the state, students should be given a choice so they can do an activity they like and be able to try out new things to…

Gym in elementary school was actually the best gym experience for me (besides college), because for the most part, the teachers just focused on keeping us active. It was a lot of capture the flag, scoot around on those little gym scooters, basically things that even kids who weren’t athletic (like me) might actually…

Yep, this also makes a lot of sense. Specifically reminds me of a guy I went to college with who was extremely book smart, and I’d say he’s an expert in engineering (his major). However, he was also racist, not in that he would call people slurs, but that he would do things like defend colonialism and then hope his…

I know it’s not the case in all elevators, but sometimes cell reception in them is almost nonexistent. It’s also possible that maybe she doesn’t keep her cell phone on her constantly throughout the work day.

Oh, you lucky, lucky soul. I do like musicals, though only as an audience member, so I’m also squarely in the band geek camp. Not all of the other band geeks were though, and there was a lot of overlap between the two at my school. Though, tbh, a lot of the other band geeks were annoying too, so it might just be a “my…

Yeah, like, my dad is Latino and my mom is white, and my dad’s siblings also both married white people, so the whole intermarriage thing is not anything new to me. I do wish it was something we discussed more as a cultural phenomenon, so I could have more knowledge about it besides just what I observe in my own…

I think in some ways, I have a chip on my shoulder when it comes to Rent, because my high school friends (the movie came out when I was a sophomore, I think?) clung on hard to the whole “being a starving artist is so cool, if you do anything else, you’re a sell out” aspect of it, which I guess I should have expected…

Right, like dude, what do you want from us? You want us to assimilate, but you also want us to know that some white people don’t want us or our genes anywhere near them?

I also felt like in some ways, the trailer did a good job of showing that he was a sociopath. By not being super dark, it made it seem like he was kind of cavalier about being accused of committing terrible crimes and thus guilty as hell? Like, would a guy who has actually been falsely accused of being a serial killer…

Yeah, in college, one of my friends really, really wanted to go a strip club, and dragged the rest of us along. I felt like it would be unfair to not tip the performer, because he was definitely a very skilled dancer, but when I tried to discreetly throw some money on the stage, hoping he wouldn’t notice, he did…

Yeah, two of my cousins were adopted from South Korea (my aunt and uncle had fertility issues), and when one of their birth mothers was visiting the US, my aunt and uncle told my cousin they would help him set up a meeting with her. He wasn’t interested though. His younger brother doesn’t really bring up his birth…

Yeah, I saw The Favourite, and while looking back on it, he was good in it, I still needed IMDB to remind me he was in it. Not his fault, it’s just that the Olivia Coleman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz all kind of stole the show.

Yeah, tbh, I feel like calling Riverdale “1950's nostalgia porn” implies that the plot is way more coherent than it actually is. That said, no matter how bananas the show gets, I can’t stop watching. 

Yeah, the Hebrew Israelites tend to just harass everyone, and I’m pretty sure that the Southern Poverty Law Center recognizes them as a hate group, so it’s not like people are denying that they’re bigots. Just that we already know they’re bigots, and it doesn’t give the Covington students an excuse to then go be…

I was watching The Bachelor last night, and one of the contestants unintentionally revealed how little we value women’s lives over the potential life of a fetus. On the episode, she was telling the bachelor about how her sister refused cancer treatment, because she was pregnant, and died shortly after giving birth.…

I think the AIDS epidemic may have led to people to feel like things were desperate enough that they’d be willing to let teens know how to have safe sex if it meant they wouldn’t get AIDS. However, now that HIV is more of a chronic, yet manageable condition (provided people can afford medication) than a death…

Yeah, generally trash talking one of the other contestants to the bachelor never goes well, at least if winning their heart is your actual goal. It makes it seem like you care more about causing drama than trying to form a relationship. However, even without the editing, the chances that the producers were encouraging…

Yeah, like even if one parent generally takes more responsibility for childcare duties than the other and is happy with that, the other parent should at least be somewhat competent at taking care of the kids. What if the main caretaker gets sick or has a family emergency in another state or also works full time and…

This essentially describes my aunt and uncle’s relationship. They have my grandparents essentially act as underpaid nannies to my cousins, even though my uncle spent a good chunk of my cousins’ young lives being unemployed and could have just been a stay at home dad and let my grandparents relax.

Black Israelites do tend to harass people, as many people on Twitter have attested to, but people who have dealt with them also know that the best thing to do is just ignore the religious weirdos. Most people tend to just brush them off and not use it as an excuse to then be racist toward a Native American veteran.
