Black Reconstruction in America should be required reading for every high schooler in America. .... Okay, I’ll be realistic, at least parts of BRiA should be required. (It’s a BIG book.)

That heckling woman gives me life.

They’ve got “purity ceremonies” with little girls dressed like brides, right down to the makeup. Super creepy.

This article could have been written by me. It’s total bullshit! I’m the one without allergies! But here I am with god damned hives covering my body for two weeks solid and no clue what caused it. Damn it.

I suspect the one bite advice has to be for guys, with the tendency for bigger jaws and mouths. Ain’t no way those are fitting in my mouth in one bite.

I know for a fact that I said totally ignorant things about transwomen when I was younger and incredibibly uninformed.

They also had sex once a month. (Even in the book.) They’re not exactly super fixated on REALLY having more children - I think it’s more of a toy and ego-balm for the men, and a nice distraction of hope for the elite women.

I’m sure Texas Textbooks (tm) is working on that for their next edition.

Who wants to bet they’re going to try to use child trafficking laws on him for “harboring” his own children?

Yeah, there’s just way too much floating flour at a pizza place. Your best bet if you HAVE to eat pizza out if a place with a separate oven, probably frozen dough disks made at a different facility, and a seperate prep area for toppings.

But then you’re... eating a frozen dough pizza prepared in a small side oven that…

Yeah, no experience with allergies personally, but my whoooole family has dealt with them for years. The allergy tests are a great place to start, but don’t mean you actually have to avoid EVERYTHING that pops up FOREVER.

Are they actually available now? I remember hearing that a gluten test was being researched yeaaars ago, but never heard anything else about it.

They feel better on the diet.

In comparison to most gluten free stuff, even crappy grocery store cake can be kind of amazing.

I don’t care a fig if my food is mangled, cold, or terribly late.

But if I order a very simple dish specifically off of the children’s menu for my kid, for the love of god, don’t serve it well after the adult entrees. Just don’t. Leave our plates languishing under the heat lamp until that grilled cheese can make it to…

Sooo stupid question time from a Facebook Luddite - how do you know you’ve joined the real group? I follow a local city BLM page, but that’s a lot easier to see someone’s likely real when they’re nearby.

Seriously, I still remember looking through reviews for preschools and finding “hit my child repeatedly with a shoe” and “my child was burnt by a curling iron left unattended in the bathroom” O_O For actual daycares, mind, not some underground home-care.

I’ve signed a lot of those between lots of summer camps and changing preschools. Nowadays it seems very common to have the form have two options: “YES, allow pictures” or “NO, DO NOT ALLOW pictures.” you just check the box you want and sign under that one. I think the schools just really want to know who’s going to…

Prepping has always been around, but Y2K fears really got the ball rolling. I had a friend whose family sold their damn house to buy a bunker somewhere out west. Then a black man became president, and people lost their god damn minds, and prepping exploded into the industry it is today.

I was about to say, that looks EXACTLY like the pizza I used to get in elementary school.
