And even now with such a BLATANT example of white privilege we still have people claiming that there’s no white privilege.

One of the things I value so much, reading this story, is how clearly it shows the way that reporting someone isn’t always and shouldn’t be assumed to be a horrible excision of deep personal trauma—that the author reported him with the primary goal of keeping other women safe.

I’d like to meet the person who makes salad from tomato or eggplant leaves. Or potato leaves. Or tea.

First thing after I wake up is literally the only time my brain isn’t whizzing in a zillion different directions, so I’m much more relaxed and into getting sexy. I’m also not exhausted/exasperated from dealing with bullshit all day. It’s a good reason to stay in…

I could probably submit one of these about myself. Many years ago when Subway sandwich shops were rocketing to the top of the national consciousness with the “Subway diet” I stopped in one day to eat with my family.
