“DePino said that there were people in the store who said they hadn’t purchased anything for hours and had no issue.”

Soooooo, when is Jezzie going to start seriously discussing the other side of this issue? Why are we always framing FOSTA around the topic of sex workers? Why aren’t we discussing a FAR more serious issue of underage victims? Don’t fuck with me on this one. Sex trafficking victims are not in this industry by choice…

I can’t see why any woman, cis or trans, would be nervous about provoking these fine examples of the male gender.

Funny how this “proof” just further proves what misogynistic trash they are.

He looks like a good kid. Like, a legit, not-just-for-the-camera, nice kid.

Black KID at the door, he’s 14, not 21. And he might be tall but he still looks like a child to me.

Or the all ecompassing, “I feared for my life.”

This. baby. looks. 14. The only thing that “ages” Black boys is the white supremacist society. I see tall, lanky, big, and even got facial hair white boys all the time. No one confuses their gawky asses for men. But the most important part is there was no need to shot at someone knocking on your door. It’s called not…

Can you imagine the mindset to be that scared of the world all the time? A high school kid walks up to your door and you instantly think you’re being robbed? These are the last people that should own guns is absolutely right. And I would bet dollars to doughnuts that they have a Gasden flag, blue lives matter, or that…

Completely agree. I have a friend who has a CCP. She carries around her special, locked fanny pack everywhere. No one is getting into that thing unless she gives them the key. I personally don’t understand how carrying a weapon that requires a hell of a lot of finagling to get out is going to help her should she get…

God bless those kids, but no. You can have a gun and you can be responsible with it. But there’s a large contingent of new gun owners who’ve bought them out of vague feelings of fear or who see having one as some sort of statement accessory. They get their permits, buy their gun-purses (because the American Way…

It’s the sort of song that many people just start singing reflexively, without thinking about who the artist is or what that means in context.

Maybe I’m crazy, but I don’t get it. Lorde was obviously referencing her bathtub. Just a post that’s something silly, mildly chuckled at, and dismissed. She loves her bathtub, and that song is probably sung at every moment of every day at some place around the world, because it was ridiculously popular and it’s…

Lorde inadvertently making a really tasteless joke when she just wanted to share her love of a good bath is literally me, all the time, every day of my life. I see you, girl.

Yeah, I believe Lorde. She’s not prone to trolling, and “I Will Always Love You” is exactly the sort of song people sing in the bathroom - and was before Whitney’s tragic death.

I don’t think my mind would ever go to, “oh Lorde is making a cruel comment about the death of a beloved pop star before taking a relaxing bath”. People (by which I mean humans, and the magazine) need to chill out sometimes.

I don’t think you’re part of the problem. Because the problem isn’t really that transplants move to Taos. You love Taos, immerse yourself in the community, engage with people of all stripes. Thoughtful people make the community a stronger, better place, no matter where they were originally from. I think the difference…

I’m from Taos, and for me, it just comes down to being aware and having respect. I’ve met plenty of transplants and tourists who care deeply about the town. But I’ve also encountered tourists and transplants who happily consume the symbols and objects of my culture while simultaneously being racist or condescending…

Excuse you, the Hippies started it.
