People freak out more when you’re dressed like Corporate America but sporting a pentagram, in my experience. A lot of people couldn’t reconcile “pastel cardigan and silk skirt” with “satan, maybe?”

Pretty sure praying to Jesus and all the saints is talking to dead people...

Right. I think that they are mostly angry that Kendall isn’t doing the ballet moves correctly, and they just ignorantly labelled it as misappropriation. Which is dangerous because it implies that misappropriation is mainly an issue with technical execution, not racial oppression.

Arghhh same. I am so over this “but but but I do this professionally and they aren’t professionals and therefore making it a joke!” I’ve heard this from so many people, about their random ass professions. You know what? Get over it. People (hopefully) understand that what is in media is not real. If you want to see…

She was modelling, you’re being absolutely ridiculous and should be embarrassed. Seriously.

Plus, aren’t all modeling shoots basically make believe/appropriating something? Model puts on $4,000 sweatpants while pretending to be running = appropriating runner culture. Model puts on power suit while pretending to be an executive = appropriating working woman culture, and on and on and on.

This. That’s why I don’t believe there is really such a thing as a “moderate” Republican unless you mean that those are just moderately horrible ones.

He might as well have said “No, you’re a towel.”

Based on trends in this election I think we’re going to see the parties shift so that the Republicans become anti-military and the isolationist wing will rise to prominence. Hillary’s reputation as a hawk will probably help this. Military issues are a little like the filibuster in that the parties switch their…

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

And like black belts, nobody else really cares who wears them.

But I thought the GOP is the party of the military? Or is it just the party of the military contractors who they’ll go work for after they’re voted out of office?

I grew up on welfare raised by a single mother who had disabling illnesses and had a younger sibling to care for. I had to grow up early.

I cannot stand to watch fictional chefs pretending to cook (or people who cook well at home call themselves chefs) but it isn’t appropriation. It is annoying and not enjoyable for me to watch as entertainment, but it isn’t really offensive. Everything that I don’t like is not an affront on me.

You know who was upset about appropriating painter culture? Hitler! You see how that worked out.

I’ll give her that she had to grow up fast—she was thrust into a world of extreme celebrity at a very young age, and had a legit (like it or not) career as a teenager. When I was her age now I was living with my parents, commuting to college, watching shit-tons of America’s Next Top Model, and eating pizza I didn’t…

If this is appropriation, then the word has lost all meaning and we should just burn the internet to the ground.

I mean... “literally SO offensive.” lol no. No, it wasn’t. She was doing what many, many models before her have done! But she has a target on her back because she’s a Jennerashian. I think it’s a bigger insult to modeling. Like, wtf are you even modeling?

Seriously. Like, the Heathers were the stereotypical Perfect Girls (tm) that everyone wanted to be and also hate ... so you could be happy that they were dead. I am kind of bummed that I’m supposed to be rooting for a white hetero couple to kill a black lesbian, a gender-queer guy, and a fat girl ...

Sobriety isn’t a “blessing” or a “gift”. It’s something you fight for with all your strength. It’s something you earn, by overcoming your addiction. You get sober by going through hell and being strong.
