Same. I hate that people are piling on her specifically instead of other kids and her parents. It’s clear she didn’t want to college and her parents forced her into it and a lot of parents do that.

I read Convington as Conyers and thought you were talking about all the kids who had syphilis. Whenever I meet someone from Conyers who is about my age, I think they have syphilis. See below.

Yep. And at least the truly wealthy are benefiting the school unlike the “side door” which only benefits the bouncer.

Yes - let’s put all the focus on the moms trying to get their kids into good colleges* - and less focus on the dudes at the colleges abusing their position of authority.

Eh. Huffman’s kid will get in somewhere ... like ASU!

Yeah, a lot of races have started playing the anthem and I DON’T GET IT.

Georgia just passed an abortion ban at 6 weeks ... as in before most women even know they’re pregnant.

Yeah, a lot of those kids are lazy af.

I’m going to have a difficult time taking Ignition out of the rotation once summer rolls around ... although now that I’m imagining him sticking his key into the ignition of a car that just rolled off the assembly line... maybe not?

Oh, there was a pretty big fuck-up in the beginning re: my brother’s truck which delayed everything by several months.* And one of the reasons given for denying the FOIA was the anticipation of civil litigation, so... yeah. That said, I laughed when I read that because although the thought flitted across my mind for…

As it turns out, the controlled burn won’t be in the specific area where his tent was found ... and wow, I feel disappointed.

Yeah, I’m currently within the 20 day appeal period and I’m considering my options. I’m a lawyer (and somewhat in this realm) so I’ve got the resources to do something but ... at the end of the day, it wouldn’t actually help us achieve anything concrete. Like, it won’t actually help us find him and it won’t help us…

Yeah, it’s been ... interesting. I think the most bizarre thing is Forest Service’s (he went missing in a national forest, not park, sorry) response to the FOIA request was “we have stuff, but we’re not giving it to you” when it would have been better for them to just say, “look, we don’t have anything.” This sort of…

No, it hasn’t been publicized except to some Appalachian Trail groups on Facebook last year. It’s been over a year so no need to post anything - we’re in the process of moving on, going to put up a little memorial in a few weeks actually.

I used to really love [that podcast] but.. I’ve definitely reconsidered my feelings. I went to a live show and it seemed a bit grotesque when I actually listened in person and people were laughing.. 

My brother is one of the thousands of people who have gone missing in a national park ... it’s hard to say whether I would go on record for a documentary. I don’t know the details of your documentary but there’s such a conflict between hoping that speaking out will help bring closure to wanting to keep things out of…

Yeah, I own about 6 different CK sheath dresses!

LOL - it’s Omar from the Wire with her face on it.

“The Democratic base has never been as comfortable with full-throatedly supporting Israel no matter its policies as Democratic elected officials have been, but until now, she didn’t know it because there was no way to express that tension.”

I tend to think the legal profession is cratering because too many law schools opened and there are too many lawyers. On one hand, this has made lawyers more affordable to clients. On the other hand, clients aren’t willing to pay your law school debt anymore so I hope you went to public school or have a cushy job…
