Teen snark is not as funny as teen thinks it is. People ask these questions because they want to interact with you, and this is an easy, safe way to do it. Your time would be better spent learning how to make polite conversation. I joked about doing the same thing when I was a teen/young adult, but I didn't, because I

Did the kid look like this?

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,

I think that she used her sister as a prop for her self-indulgent bullshit, yes. I think that she shared very personal stories about her sibling to generate controversy and attention. No way in my right mind would I ever masturbate next to my little sister and then put it in a book.

She said she was raped in college so I believe she was raped in college. But that whole sister molestation thing and all of this ensuing PR is annoying as fuck. SO desperate for attention and a soapbox.

1. I'm going to be a little judgy.

So why should he take precedence among the avalanche of backlash against Dunham? If you search Twitter, most of the condemnation appears to be coming from women, feminists of color in particular.

Part of the reason she's never 'heard' the legitimate scolding is because Jezebel et al has blown all the 'wrong reasons' way out of proportion.

Can't we all just agree that Lena Dunham is a fucked up sociopath and move on?

Why are we acting like this is only about her touching her 1 year old sister's vagina when she was 7 and not also about emotionally coercing her sister into sleeping in her bed and then masturbating while she sleeps? And about paying her sister in candy to give her long kisses on the lips? And about paying her sister

As a longtime bleeding heart liberal, this article is so unbelivably self-serving and disingenuous.

God forbid that the NYT reports and photographs the truth about the squalid hospital conditions that many Ebola patients face in Sierra Leone.

Seriously. These images of children and dying and medical interventions and "invisible suffering" are not convenient metaphors for some writer, comfortable in her desk chair, to craft some moralistic allegory: they are the realities of this disease, of how it is handled in the US/Europe vs. Africa, of how medicine has

"The sanitary crusade of the nineteenth century is central to the violent project of empire."

You know who really ticks me off?

I wouldn't cohabitate again unless getting married was being discussed

I mean, it's also possible to live together while renting, in which case (though still expensive), it's a lot easier to get out of there at the end of the year. It's more like moving out from a regular roommate you hate while you're breaking up with someone (hey, I've done that!) instead of like divorce. I totally

I am not being one of those "I hate pop culture" people because I do not in any way, but I just don't get beyonce. She's pretty and I assume talented and I can see that she is an incredible dancer, I just don't understand why people are so overly obsessed with her. I honestly would love to hear "WHY?" rather than

I had a bit of a panic attack during a scene in a movie. I had never been triggered before so it was a bit frightening. You know what I did? I walked out of the movie. If a student has issues with the subject matter of a book, they should absolutely bring it to their teacher/professor and the professor should be

My best assessment: having to classify the offensive nature of the material into some simplified category denies the variation and complexity of any work. It makes the book/movie/play ONLY about that thing, instead of a work of art on its own. So Things Fall Apart is not a novel of Nigeria, but a trigger
