I have nothing of value to add to this conversation, but anytime someone mentions Reality Bites, I feel obliged to let you know that I used to live in the apartment where they all lived. Watching a movie in the room it was filmed in=weird.

Yes! I am 29, and I moved across the country recently to live near my parents and be in a place that I love, and I moved in with them at first because I didn't have a job when I first got here and, you know, bills, but now I'm here by choice. We get along really well, they treat me as an adult/don't worry about me…

I just want to thank you for being honest with your anger and taking the time to explain these things, even though you shouldn't have to. As a white woman trying to be a good ally, I think it's vital, and I've never thought about tone policing like that before, but it makes perfect sense-the fastest way to piss me off…

That is awesome. You must be very well...read.

I forgot about those people! Just terrible.

Dirty little secret of people with lots of old books: As a teenager, I worked in an antique book store, and we regularly got customers that were looking for a large number of old books to look good on their book shelves. The owner would always pick up the dumbest crap to sell because someone would want pretty books…

We completely notice. I'm glad to see other white girls ignore the racists and sizests! I'm glad they put it out there—saves me time from going on a date with an ass.

RIGHT? It's so damn frustrating. I just want to hug her and cry over how we as a country can't seem to stop hurting her and hurting Trayvon.

I have to watch this movie, even though I think it is going to be so painful to watch, and I'm so glad it's coming out right now. I'm having a hard time processing the Zimmerman verdict (every time I try to write something on here or facebook about it, I give up. What do you say? I finally just posted a link to…

You always write the most well-thought out posts and comments. Thanks for always bringing it, and congrats on the document change!

Seconded! I started in on his book a week ago, and it's delicious (and I love not kneeding!). Having some with brie, an apple, and wine for dinner right now.

EXACTLY! That class is yearlong for a reason.

I went to bed too soon! So proud of my fellow Texas ladies!

ASSHOLES. hatehatehatehate.

Yeah, he and Ted Cruz has a contentious race for the US senate seat that Cruz won. Dewhurst's slant in his tv ads? Cruz is too liberal. As in, Ted Cruz, the tea party darling.

Perfect.

So angry right now. Dumb, dumb Texas Republicans. We will not forget, and you will pay dearly for this.

Just when I thought I couldn't love Alvin Ailey and his dancers any more... Seriously...never appreciated dance as art until I randomly saw his group perform when a friend had a spare ticket. I have this day dream where RBG will present the majority decision and everything will be unicorns.

Yeah...even if you call them out, it's hard to look at them the same. My group of friends had a similar experience a couple years ago (he called a nonhuman character in a video game the n word), and everyone piled on the guy who said the n word about how terrible it was and he apologized profusely....but everyone…
