OH MY GOD THAT POOR GIRL.

I’m an escapee of this type of abusive community (didn’t realize I was gay till I was in my late 30s, tho, and as complicated as that is, it at least spared me this kind of horseshit as a teenager). The motivation comes from two distinct camps.
Right?! Mostly, I think the custom has been a natural outcome of the fact that these boards of directors and CEO positions are basically just one large game of musical chairs - these guys all know each other and hire each other and protect each others’ interests because that’s how their own interests get looked after.…
Criminals, set your sights higher! Burgle those motherfucking penthouses, don’t rob the peeps on the streets!
I went to a college like this. Here’s the logic about expelling the poor girl: two wrongs don’t make a right. Sin is sin is sin. (Except it never is.)
Oh, girl, I grew up in one of those places/families, and went to one of those churches. Whereas you tried to find faith to cope with a shitty relationship situation, I had a crisis of faith to cope with one and the end result was becoming an atheist. Long story short, as someone who understands both that world and…
Saaaaaaaame, girl! Apostates unite! lol [high-five]
I am deeply grateful that I have not been assaulted, but when I was sexually harassed at work, the reporting process was more invasive, disruptive, upsetting, traumatic, hostile, and confusing than the instance of harassment I was reporting by an order of magnitude I still find difficult to wrap my head around. In the…
This is an astonishingly poor take. In the first place, we’re talking about workplace accommodations, colleague-to-colleague and boss-to-employee relationships, not doctor-to-patient relationships. Totally different standard. In the second place, I think your hard-line stance about never discussing these personal…
I commend you for a truly creative solution, but we shouldn’t have to velcro ourselves into our footwear! lol.
Concur. Additionally, stockings worn with slides make me cringe. How you gonna walk in those, girl? You got your feet glued to the bottom? You just gonna shuffle everywhere and scuff down the soles so bad you can only wear them once? First time you try to walk with a normal stride, or walk down a flight of steps,…
Yeah. I mean, I think I get what she’s trying to say, here - that Simone was an exceptional person, and that her Blackness was/is something to be celebrated for itself exactly the way it was - dark and wide-nosed and kinky-haired, etc. - but that little shortcut she takes through the syntax really changes the meaning…
I’m not a sports person in general, and of all the sports I’ve been casually exposed to over my life, basketball has never been one. But I’m seriously considering investing myself in the WNBA. Every time I see any news about the league, it’s either because the Lynx (my local team) is fucking kicking ass, or because…
We got yelled at a lot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Because of my fundamentalist upbringing, there was no children’s music in my house, only psalms and such. I didn’t hear Raffi for the first time until I worked at a restaurant in college. The guys in the kitchen took great pride in making mixed CDs (this was the time of Napster) with just the right energy and flow to…
You’re absolutely right about that, and I’m sorry for the “poop water” reference as to your holy symbols. I just really doubt that this fucking company is doing anything other than selling Nazi propaganda at worst and culturally appropriating holy symbols for rich blonde girls with carefully cultivated tans and…
Jar Jar Binks - I am SCREAMING
phew, bullet dodged!!
Listen. If you fill a nice, clean kiddie pool with cool, clear water, knowing that one of your kids is eventually going to ingest some of that water while they’re playing, and then that kid takes a fucking shit in the pool, guess what. The water is ruined. You can’t just be like, “Hey, now! It’s only the poop that’s…
