Do you have a source for that? I only know him as the benevolent spiritual guy; I’ve never heard this side of the story.

Yeah, there was a guy in my (American, black-majority) high school who fit this description; a lot of the kids were black, but he was several degrees darker than anyone else. Earned him the nickname Midnight. And yeah, it wasn’t always said as a compliment. :/

Serious question: Why were there a bunch of women in LBDs holding the awards? We can't get some male eye candy for the FWWC?

I think it would be completely reasonable for a photographer to say, “I can’t legally refuse you business because of your sexual orientation, but I have to tell you that my religious beliefs make me uncomfortable with the idea of participating in a same-sex marriage ceremony. I will do the job if you want to hire me…

My best friend says his first inkling was at age 4, and his first sexual feeling for another boy was age 8. My guess is that today’s children have much more language at their disposal to talk about sexuality than we did at their age; I didn’t really know homosexuality was an option until I was in my teens, but today’s…

Omg I love this. This is the kind of hugging commitment I need in my life. Thank you, benevolent internet stranger!

I don’t know what I expected to happen at the end, but somehow the fall caught me off guard. I loled. Thank you for exactly what I needed!

Wow, thanks for that info - I had no idea any of that was happening. Total bullshit.

What’s going on with native american accounts disappearing? I missed this. I’m assuming the trans ones are because people are changing their names & not using their “real” first names, but the NA thing is news to me. And the Bree thing makes me LIVID, had no idea about that either.

Yep. Someone posted a nude JLaw photo in a random comments thread back during that shitstorm; I reported the photo to Facebook and their autmaton responded that it “didn’t violate their community standards/terms of service”. So I wrote them back and basically said, “This photo is known to be stolen property, the…

You have excellent taste.

(Girl!) I aim to please!

Some guy touched my butt today. It was one of those things where I was 100% sure it was on purpose, but I knew if I made a scene, I had no way to prove what had just happened. It was a light brush along my left pocket, but he passed me on the right, so there was really no easy way for him to come into contact with…

I watched Broadchurch after I’d already seen The Fall and Happy Valley, and I think it was my least favorite of the three, although I still thought it was excellent. The reason it didn’t quite measure up was that exact bait & switch, and the too-perfect way Ellie comes to mirror that other woman (“how could you not…

Also under suspicion:

there are no vaccine police

In a situation where the ghostee is toxic/manipulative (this situation definitely qualifies), the only reason to have The Talk is to appease your own conscience. If it’s going to continue to bother you that you ghosted him, then do your due diligence and send him a statement email. Statement, not explanation. “Hi…

That right there is the core of a man who can grind against you powerfully-yet-with-control for a Very. Long. Time.

And Rosa Parks refusing to give up her seat didn’t stop black people from being lynched or guarantee them the right to vote. In a literal sense, what you’re saying is true, but progress happens in steps so small we don’t realize their significance in the moment. Only through the lens of history do we see that they…

They made a (black) maintenance worker put it back up almost immediately, just in time for the KKK rally. <— I hate everything about this sentence.
