Only way that nonsense could be whiter is if she was a little younger and male, so the judge could side with her and state that she has a promising future ahead of her

They said Guyger lived in a “high-crime” area, which made her hyper vigilant.

Naw,
Dickhead Assholes. 

To serve and protect...one's own feng shui.

Was she drug tested independently outside of the department? Cuz this sure sounds like she was very messed up.

Orphan remains my greatest moviegoing experience. It was just a so-so thriller, but at the big reveal a tween/early-teen girl sitting down the row from us stood up and shouted ESTHER GOT TITTIES at the top of her lungs. It was incredible and probably the hardest I’ve ever laughed in public.

Here’s the part the really messed with my brain:
The D.A. isn’t even trying to claim any sort of negligent acts were done on her behalf, which could still come out with a verdict of not guilty of murder, just accidental manslaughter and she wouldn’t have to serve jail time.  
But no, they are claiming “Self defense”,…

asked the jury to side with Guyger’s claim of self-defense, saying prosecutors are “holding Amber Guyger to an impossible standard” and “making innocent mistakes into evil acts.”

Not only a red door mat, but her next thought must’ve been, as she opened the door “someone broke in and switched out my couch and kitchen table and pictures and paintings...” and then she came upon the dangerous black man trying to redecorate. Shooting the perp in defense of her khaki decor was really the only…

“Don’t break into someone’s house and then shoot him” doesn’t seem like an especially impossible standard.

noooooo do not feel guilty. ain’t no reason to feel bad about wishing someone had knocked a nazi’s teeth out in high school.

100% this. I got a little too big for my britches in high school, got tuned up in front of about 1/3 of the school. One of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm not kidding.

I feel like so much of this could be solved if these people got the shit beat out of them just once in their younger years. Seriously. I really do. 

The game definitely tries to have it both ways, putting Byleth in charge of the students (to justify the player’s ability to command and reclass them) but also immediately pointing out how Byleth is closer in age to the students than the other teachers. It wants the player to see them as peers in social contexts and…

Uh, pride parades, gay bathhouses, gay bars. Gay... coffee shops.

I honestly don’t think it can be overstated how important The Sims games were to so many of us queer people attempting to make sense of their sexuality. It’s fantastic that they removed gender-locked clothing/style choices in The Sims 4 and added the ability to create trans and non-binary Sims. Even if it’s somewhat…

Some of us experimented early with Sims to figure out that holy shit we’re not straight, so thank goodness they left that in

I offer a throwback quote to match the throwback to the Sims. Here is Lauren Berlant and Michael Warner, “Sex in Public.” Critical Inquiry, vol. 24, no. 2, 1998, pp. 547–566:

As someone who speaks Arabic, “kanan” is basically a non-entity as either an Arabic word or name. That dog was almost certainly named after the Star Wars Rebels character. I guess it’s fine though, because at least white Twitter got to spend a few hours getting off on co-opting brown people persecution.
