freedom rides and lunch counters weren’t safe either. those actions made a bigger difference than most protests of the same era - why? because it exposed the truth of the racists in our country. I get that democrats can be lukewarm. but why not address the ice cold shark den of republican politics? the same pool most…

as a transplant to Minnesota, I have to say that this right here is exactly why “Minnesota nice” is actually “Minnesota nonsense”. bunch of grown ass people thinking they are so sly by being fake as hell. this ain't a burn. this some lukewarm bs.

ya. this was a total “let’s make her cry” strategy. it worked against them when she didn't.

as a person who doesn’t plan on having kids with my partner, I am very confused as to why anyone even makes a point to me about family lineage. sometimes we just need to drop the concept of surviving eternally in history and just understand that for most of us, our name is our name until we die and the people who…

I was more so reflecting on the comments which reflect that everyone needs something different for their kids and themselves when out in public - honestly in a lighthearted tone in my head. sorry for leaving off a winky face or whatever you clearly need to not go into a rage fest about a relatively tame comment.

I just love when parents tell other parents how to be parents.

black is not synonymous with urban. white is not synonymous with suburb/rural. people of color live a lot of different places, as do white people. if they are African inspired braids, call them that. urban fiction is called that because the stories take place in cities. urban clothing is called that because the…

though the message is empathy, the statement about your lack of an issue makes it feel like a burn. you don't have to share your lack of struggles to preface a statement supporting who are struggling.

more people more likely interactions more public transit more public places more businesses with seating options... yes it is statistically more probable in cities. don’t be dense though there are self absorbed imposing assholes everywhere.

this whole confusion has to be blamed on strip clubs and escorts. it kills me that men think strippers are actually interested in them and that how they behave while being paid is what all women should do in real life.

the only problem with taking melatonin is that it starts to effect your body’s ability to produce it naturally. imho it is better to connect with a nutritionist or holistic health expert to adjust your diet or provide guidance on supplements that support and encourage the body’s natural production of melatonin on the…

and the pope specifically said his priority when visiting the u.s. was connecting with people experiencing poverty, this disenfranchised, etc. Starting to think the conservative motto should be “don’t read, don’t listen, don’t think, don’t share”

loved the luscious pulling cat stark maneuver by “calling on the families” so to speak. definitely time for a GoT - Empire parody

they totally set this news story up. the parents probably sent to White House misinformation so they could manufacture surprise and get a bunch of attention. let's all give the people who want attention a bunch more attention.

deactivated my Facebook months ago. the introduction of the “dislike” button pretty much seals the deal - I will never return. my life is better for it. reading a real book is a much better use of time.

As a person who lost my mother and have had partners have the nerve to say/feel as such, I seriously request keep that ish to yourself.

I am starting to realize that people actually check off names of those invited to determine who did or did not buy wedding presents, then take issue with those who don’t later. people spend all that money to be pretty then turn ugly when the clock strikes midnight and they can’t get people to give them the material…

the rate of unexpected drug induced death and the timeframe to develop a life destroying addiction to heroine is devastating. Alcoholism and alcohol abuse certainly has its devastating outcomes too, but really - we can’t compare these two. all addictions and outcomes of addictions are not the same. Unlike alcohol, I…

I definitely saw this as a SES based ruling than one lightened solely because of her gender. different skin color, different neighborhood - she would have had her life and children’s lives ruined.
