This. All of the this.

Ugh. This whole thing just makes me sad and angry. I hate that race is still so important, and that just because a person looks different they may never get a home with a family who loves them, as not all foster homes are created equal (as race is a social construct, not a real thing—so for those who may not get it,…

Its alright, I made sure I was as cool about it as possible. Don't worry about it. It is better to try and screw up than not to try at all. You are all good.

Mines of Moria. Heehee!

Well thank you, I try to be a nice lady every once in a while, but hey what can ya do?

Yeah, at this point, I am going back for my masters degree, and I want to make sure that this is handled in a way that keeps me safe and not worried about any sort of repercussions, so I wanted to call and see if they could talk about it and what I would have to do if I want this to go further, which if there is just…

Yeah, the situation was just surprising, I haven't had something crazy like that since my sophomore year there from a professor (I have with students but that is a different story). It was just so shocking.

Exactly, I got an okay grade, but I still wonder if I would have been treated differently (or was treated differently) because of my race. I was the only person of color in the class (there may have been others that can pass as white, but I cannot). I have no idea how it is all going to work, but I do plan on calling…

I could not agree more! Still, you have helped me in my big decision to talk to my college about some pretty not fun things going on in a class. I think that they need to hear about what was said to a class from a teacher.

Summing up my emotions in gif form:

You win "teh internets" today!

Oh my! This is the funniest thing I have read all day. Kudos to you for this. I just can't say anymore other than that.

I'd say, if the book is still in print, and she is young-ish, Marti and the Mango. It was something that I read when I was younger with my Dad, and it was a pretty enjoyable experience. Marti is looking for a Mango for a party and has no idea what it is so he/she ( I think it might be a boy, but the writer may not…

Storm and Rogue! I love these characters to death, and would watch the heck out of a good film with them in it. We need some realistic female superheroes with solid action and writing and respect for their characters. These and Zatanna would be solid. I would even be happy with a Wonder Woman movie, but I don't know…

Totally listening to an electronica song and the dog and the music at the same time! I could not stop laughing!

I'd also throw out Sadie Likens. She was a nurse during the civil war and a fine one as well. She became the first female Police Officer in CO, as a matron there. She was pretty vocal too. I dig her a ton, and did a good deal of research on her. Her life was amazing, especially as tons of men tired to shut her up, and…

Oh Tina Brown! Unfortunately, this happens all the time. This is the cycle of violence, instead of acting like an ungrateful, disrespectful and judgmental person, you should express support and solidarity with Rihanna. Tell her that you are there for her and will give her support in anything she needs, so when she…

KDJkhewuhgakjdiokjgr. The feels man, the feels.

Ugh, bullying is the worst. Middle school was rough, but I think 10th grade was literally the most awful for me. I had a guy in my class (a big basketball star) that sexually harassed me during class, every day. If I asked him to stop then it would keep going. That went on for a couple of months. Then I thought that…

Oh, I'm going to say it...
