But did you know why these people were upset/having a bad day? Maybe it was a tiny thing that would work out. Maybe someone they loved just died. Maybe they just got a horrible diagnosis. Maybe they just got fired and now can't afford things they really, really need, like, say, rent, or medication. Maybe they just got…

I had a guy tell me to smile, it's not so bad once.

Or we could leave strangers alone. I just don't feel it's my place to tell anyone I don't know to consider altering their facial expression. You also don't know their situation. For me, I glare because I'm squinting to see, no one needs to tell me what's up.

So a public kiss is too sexy, but a public flogging is okay? Sheesh.

The issue is (like many toys and narratives, and much of history) that American Girl continues to allow the white narrative to be true, viable, and multi- faceted (as it should be! Isn't culture/race's past more than a single event or single type of person?) Four (more than half!) of those dolls tell the story of…

My old Molly doll is definitely getting handed down to my (future) daughter for that reason. Like hell if I'm dropping $100 on a doll!

Getting rid of the only Asian doll is a problem. But in any case, I'd gotten the impression that the collection was very diverse now. Back in the early nineties, the most "diverse" you got was that Kirsten spoke with an accent. Pasty white, blond and blue eyed Kirsten. So, this seems pretty chill. They probably…

Wow, and here I was thinking I was rich and white just because I even got to GO to summer camp. This is some next level rich white people sheet.

What in the ever-living fuck. I went to summer camp for years, and every year they would send a list that specified what should be packed, down to the number of underpants.

He should have payed someone to get a Blitler instead.

Ahem the originator:

What about Teri?

Oh that's just wonderful! The sea turtle had already discussed the issue of family not being welcome in the delivery room. All she wanted was some privacy, and yet here's a whole group of people taking pictures of her crotch. What is this, a birth episode on the Kardashians? A bit of sensitivity wouldn't hurt you,…

She was really just there for the cake. Because human, dog, cat, Donkey, insect, or pregnant reptile, everyone loves cake.

I feel like this was maybe just a poorly-conceived "joke" about how he likes drinking? I know a lot of people who talk like this in a joking manner, but if you actually suggested they were a "real" alcoholic, would tell you that you're crazy. I feel like if Channing Tatum were really an alcoholic, this would be a…

Yeah I have girlfriends who joke about drinking during hard times. A friend who had a string of almost unbelievable bad things happen last year (if I listed them it would dox me and her, it's that distinctive) recently joked about how wine is now a refreshing treadmill drink. I read this confession as more of a little…

What does a rapist look like? Affluent, athletic white teenagers?

I live in Morgantown, and I've been to this place a few times. The BBQ is really good. I think a dinner out is in order this week, so I will dine there for all of the Jezzies.
