You’re right that editors are predominantly white, white people miss the truth around POC more, and Mariah’s editors definitely should have caught this. BUT.

That is absolutely the same Mariah Smith, which explains why the staff won’t talk about her personal beef with Priyanka... when I feel like if any other writer had written something like this there would definitely be more snark involved.

Hi, another designer here. I disagree with you on the facts, but I also think the reason you’re such vehement pushback is because your argument seems to be intentionally undervaluing design in comparison to other creative. (“But given the comparative simplicity of the image...”) Plus you’re being condescending by…

“Held emotionally hostage” What an exceptionally intense relationship you must have had with this past acquaintance.

I’m not in the grays and I haven’t read something this shitty in awhile:

On the contrary, I’m why everything is awesome.

I agree it’s not a big deal, but as a person in a marriage with mutual accounts, I do wonder why married people value separate accounts, if that makes sense? I know it’s very common and makes some people more comfortable, but why?

No, you’re right. I don’t know what Clio’s about but everyone wants to see this except weirdly jaded media bloggers. It looks fun as fuck.

... if you want to put this in terms of innocence, there are plenty of people who would argue that a woman who stays in that kind of relationship isn’t all that innocent a victim.

Show me where I wrote anything like “the sentiment officers are disposable, or our lives lack inherent value because of our career path.”

The apt comparison is between a civilian and an officer, not an officer and an officer in a different scenario; AKA, the difference in danger between calls. The threat to an officer on a domestic violence call in comparison to other threats to officers in different situations is irrelevant to this article and my…

I sincerely appreciate anyone who puts their life on the line for someone else; there is no greater gift (or cost). However, to say a statement like “Isn’t the loss of an innocent or a victim the bigger tragedy?” is dismissive is to ignore the difference between a professional and a civilian. One is a victim, the…

Are you in the Prescott area? We just moved to (the general) area from California. What do you think of the baby Verde Valley wine scene?

Imagine being proud of having contributed to the building of that razor wire monstrosity.

Yeah, unfortunately. Originally, draft horses had their tails docked to prevent accidents where they’d get caught up in the reins of a plow or carriage. Now it’s done mostly for aesthetic.

All horses do have tailbones, and this one looks like maybe it was docked. Docking is done pretty exclusively on draft horses (these are the larger breeds, like the Budweiser Clydesdales or the horse above in the photo), purportedly to prevent the tails from getting caught up in the reins while driving.

This is all correct.

I will be completely honest: I would veto giving someone with 300 followers free product, forget money. The return on investment for the company is a net loss after shipping and coordination in the scenario you describe. By which I don’t mean to disagree with your decision, people should do whatever they feel is right…

I absolutely did, as someone else caught earlier to great applause (though it’s easy to miss these things with Kinja’s questionable nesting).

To be honest I don’t mean to criticize Hazel’s writing here. I’m more about reminding people who have a few thousand Instagram followers that they don’t deserve a check. I hate those DMs with a fiery passion.
