And it made latinos go, we aint got shit.

I have no idea what that is but I’m going to google it now :)

Wow. I have my parents ashes because we haven’t yet dealt with scattering them, and I feel weird enough. But they died after illness, not a violent death - can’t even imagine how crazy feeling that would be. My condolences!!

This happened to a friend and I in our mid-teens. We were living in a small town and (female) friend and I were walking around, as wayward teens do. A car approached us, stopped, and rolled the window down. We saw it was full of guys in their 20's. They ask us where the highway was and we told them. They drove off and…

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

THAT IS HORRIBLE. I’m so sorry that that happened and so glad that you were ok.

Ohh I remember something from my child hood as well that I’ve never forgotten.

The summer after graduating college, I worked as a waitress for this crazy fancy hotel/club in my city. This is a place where members would drop $4,000 on dinner and even more on wine, and there were always secret service walking around when politicians were in town. They also weren’t allowed to tip because it would…

Not sure this is “scary” but more “wtf”

Reposting my tale of my almost-murder from last year.

I was on a horrible schedule, where I was waking up around 2AM every night, and had started a routine where I would go out for coffee early in the morning; before jumping on my computer for work.

Ok, first time commenting, so I’m sure I’ll be buried in the grays.... but, here goes.

So when I was around 6 years old I slept with this old, mustard yellow blanket. And every night I would have a dream about a monster that would creep into my room, stop at the end of my bed, and eat the blanket. In the morning the blanket was gone, when I got home from school the blanket was back. This went on for…

Ok, I love this time of year, so forgive the new account, but I wanted to tell the story my grandmother told me. I can’t vouch for it completely, but she’s a very no-nonsense woman and I’ve never caught her in a lie (besides maybe how many martinis she’s had). Anyway, we’ll call her Betty. Betty grew up in Kansas in…

Seriously. Don’t. Testicular Torsion is a very real, and very painful thing.

To try to inject race into this discussion seems a bit forced. You make it seem as if this lady was trading on her privilege

Let’s just go with Charles Kinsey... not a nurse but you know pretty close. The officer that SHOT him and was subsequently arrested on charges of attempted manslaughter and negligence for his role in shooting Kinsey continues to be on leave WITH pay.

LoT does commit, and that’s what makes it so damn great. It does not care if it’s the corniest thing on TV at the moment*, it KNOWS it is, and is more than willing to pull the whole “hold my beer” schtick whenever we think it can’t get any cornier.

I mean, Perea is a Spanish surname. There’s a good chance she’s got Hispanic roots, and if that’s the case, there’s a good chance she’s of mixed ancestry. Even if she identifies/is identified as “white” Hispanic.
