I AM CRASHING YOUR PARTY. YOU CAN'T STOP ME.

The number of humans that have told me that the Holocaust never happened makes me sick. I live with a survivor, and it fills me with such incredible rage to be told that my grandmother is a liar. That's the issue. We stop talking, we stop the dialogue, and things get swept under the rug and history repeats itself.

Michelle Obama is on the cover of Essence, which we have displayed on our library shelves. Just a few hours ago, my white co-worker felt it necessary to come complain to me why "they" could have a magazine with only all black people but "we" couldn't have one with only white people (why she thought that was an…

Let's be clear, it's not possible to work 60+ hours a week and be there for the home stuff. Maybe once and a while if you're the boss you can arrange your schedule to be there but you aren't doing the daily after school pick ups, the homework, etc. It doesn't matter if you're working three jobs making minimum wage…

Seriously, do men EVER get asked this? It's assumed they provide the truly valuable parenting ——intellectual, spiritual, political, whatever——while women just wipe asses and do the shit work.

Not even Stephen King gives a shit that she's spending money she earned through sales of her book, so how did this story manage to crawl so far up your completely uninvolved ass??

So you want a can of tomato paste. You go to the store, you're in a hurry, you buy tomato sauce instead. You don't take it back, because what the hell, you don't have time for that. You keep the tomato sauce— this is the key part, now, you KEEP THE PRODUCT YOU BOUGHT. Do you expect the maker of the tomato sauce to…

She knows what her sales were before, sure, but the Stephen King confusion drove more people to look at her description. She can't know who went on to make the purchase based on exposure to her book.

...srsly? someone bought. her. book. she actively went out of her way to inform amazon, which is, aside from stalking the people who wrote the bad reviews to idk let them know, was really her only recourse. she can't send a followup email to anyone who buys her book to be all I'M NOT STEPHEN KING JSYK.

No. It's weird that you think she is responsible for other people having poor reading comprehension or making mistakes.

She wrote the book years before King wrote his. She didn't pretend to be him. She can't possibly know the split for people who specifically looked for her book, for those who made a mistake, and for those who were looking for King but liked her description.

That Stephen King book is pretty good, for what it's worth.

That's the thing with his stuff. Most people automatically assume scary when they think Stephen King, but he has actually written several non horror, non suspense novels, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility.

Ha ha awesome. And not surprised King would be amused and happy for her. He founded a charity to help writers who have come on hard times and is a big advocate for working authors.

Wow. I just realized that the perfect job for me is hanging out with animals and then being the person that composes their emails to the vacationing caretakers. Changing my whole career path.

I have a hard time leaving my animals to go on vacation because I just don't trust people to care for them like I would.

Whatever decade the Paleolithic Era was in

And it's also of a Halloween costume in Buffy, which undermines the point. There are plenty of dated (but awesome!) outfits in Buffy that the characters wore as if it were normal everyday school attire.

um, your lede photo is from buffy therefore any argument you make is invalid because buffy is perfection
