You don’t think there’s a difference between growing up with/being aware of the slaughterhouse at your farm and being unexpectedly confronted with it when you expected a day of fun? Come on.

At first I felt like yeah, this is a clearly bad idea that should have been rejected very quickly but is on some level maybe well-intentioned. Then I got to the statement at the end, and realized the idea was “You know what’s a great way to celebrate Black History Month? Direct people to white authors who were writing…

Yes, exactly. The hosts are most important when things go wrong - Sandi brought some of the warmth Mel and Sue had.

No!! Marie explicitly says not to do this!!!

Well, luckily, that’s not my take! I don’t think Sarah Dessen books should be a Common Read, and neither does Sarah Dessen.

Ready Player One was chosen and is definitely at the same reading level. And college first years are generally eighTEEN or nineTEEN.

But is there any evidence he’s being “goaded” or is he just getting upset? I mean, people get upset in this tent, and real life. That’s okay. It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try to do things that might make them upset.

I absolutely agree with this and it has been bothering me about these recaps - it was bordering on concern trolling. Now that I have a bit more context about the author it makes more sense, but there’s still an edge of it I don’t like. I mean, Ruby Tandoh couldn’t look at a whisk without bursting into tears and no one…

I dunno, I think Alfie Allen did pretty well and I wouldn’t have been mad that he won.

By all accounts, Britney isn’t a bad parent either. It sounds like this new lawsuit is about the presence of Jaime - and, if he’s physically harming kids, is absolutely 100% correct.

Well, that’s not the same. It’s actively good for you to acquire a wider palate of foods you enjoy - in fact it’s some of the most important diet advice. And comparisons to art, music, movies, books are also not the same, because there are various avenues to learn about and experience those for cheap or free. Not so…

Nope, not my argument at all. In fact, I think we have to do a lot MORE to get men involved in a way that actually supports gender equity and healthier, more equal relationships between men and women. My point is that getting men interested in something and making them comfortable isn’t doing enough.

The snark-worthy part of this article isn’t the part the author chose to call out, which is super frustrating. The jump from “men are more comfortable” to “healthier outcomes for women and babies” is the snarkable part. I am very familiar with the research here and let me tell you, it is *thin.* It’s mostly based on…

Well, that’s not a good comparison. Cate Blanchett has an awesome career, sure, but she is very much a Serious Actress who does Serious Movies. But if you want to be an a comedic actress or rom-com actress or action star or whatever, you really *do* have to make yourself more available on social media. And it’s not…

Thank you for explaining! I always lurk on your posts on TSB and they are so great.

What happens here? Do the girls still get to compete in Olympic events, like the Olympic Athletes from Russia? What about competitions like worlds?

I also graduated with a poli sci BA a few years ago. Do you know what field you want to go into? What kind of role you eventually want to have?

Look man, you wrote what you wrote. I don’t need to know any more about you except that you thought it was appropriate to write that. 

I’ve been a red cross certified lifeguard and swimming instructor for 10 years. This comment is callous bullshit, and I’m going to tell you exactly why it’s callous bullshit because you deserve it as the kind of person who points out how much better and smarter you and your family are than a woman who just lost her…

Their kids are still safely at home living with the rest of their families, not in cages. Also, seeking asylum is not against the law.
