I just wrote a Y.A. thriller. Want to represent me?
“Certainly, structural sexism exists in ______, but you’re overstating it”
Well Bungie didn’t exactly help by editing it and removing all the jokes from his dialogue.
It’s sad, but not at all surprising. I’m a small business owner, and many of my suppliers are men. About a year ago I created the alias ‘Dick Berns’ to use in purchasing. Since then I’ve found that on average my orders ship 2 days faster and cost 6% less when the person on the other end of the transaction thinks that…
I write under male-sounding names online, and I have mixed feelings about it. Is it easier? Fuck yes. Does it make me angry how much easier it is? Fuck yes.
All I ask is that we all agree to ignore any of the schools that refuse to join a conference. (Congratulations, Navy, on dropping that mark of irrelevance.)
Ohio State will be number 1 despite being in a joke conference.
Alabama will be in the top 5, when Auburn is going to win the SEC west. People will insist that Michigan is still a good football team (Harbaugh’s COACHIN EM UP!). Ohio State will be number 1 despite being in a joke conference. Florida State will get lots of votes despite playing, functionally, an FCS schedule.…
Randomized, and it shows up in a different order each time it’s loaded.
In the interest of Deadspin only covering schools that sound like decent gay porn actors, I limited my votes to Troy, Duke and Old Dominion.
This will go horribly and I’ll love every part of it.
Um, all for using a term better than “Jew-fro,” but can you not refer to Jewish hair as “unkempt”? “Unkempt” sounds like “if you don’t straighten your hair, it’s wrong.”
No, it shouldn’t bother us that a white woman wanted to curl her hair. Happens all the time. It should bother us that they called it an afro because that by definition is something a white woman can never have. No one is saying she has to wear her hair in its natural state all the time or that every black woman with…
Jewish people who are surrounded by other Jewish people grow up saying Jew-fro. Our parents say it and our friends say it and our rabbis say it. I was often complimented on my “Jew-fro”, and I was very proud to have one. I never spared a thought to how offensive a term it was until I heard my Jewish friend explain my…
Thank you! :) I was afraid someone would think my ignorance was mock-worthy, but honestly I had no idea. And also honestly, it seemed like something that would take more than a quick google since I wasn’t sure what terms to use.
right. i mean, i am black and have 4A curls/kinks, and my hair STILL is not an afro unless i spend like 30 minutes picking it out (and probably losing half my hair in the process). they really should have said “fun summer curls/waves” and called it a day.
I imagine that the Venn Diagram of people who use the word “wigger” and people who know the definition of the word “portmanteau” has to be two separate circles.
