“You need to do something else now that in no way involves planning extravagant island festivals.”

The worst case of victim blaming you’ve ever seen? The worst?

Why try so hard to be offended? Was there something incorrect about Absent Humanity’s statement? Were white people not the perpetrators of slavery, and are they not still trying to either consciously or unconsciously perpetuate white supremacy? You do not get to call yourself an ally. It is not a term used for…

The scariest thing to lawyers is not the threat of prosecution, but a bar complaint. Forms to file a bar complaint may be found here: https://www.ladb.org/Complaint/HowTo.aspx

Can’t unsee.

That is so smart. We get so many kids who come in who were pulled over for broken taillight/registration stickers/etc. (i.e. DWB) and wouldn’t you know, the cops smell weed every time and there’s always “clouds” of smoke when kids roll down their windows. You are absolutely correct to put nothing beyond some of the…

Unsolicited advice from someone who does criminal defense: make sure your kids know to try to avoid having any drugs in the car. It’s so easy for cops to cook up a “legal” search of a car. And never ever give a statement to the police.

LOL. The rest of that list cannot be debated intellectually. Do commenters have to point each specific example out?

Great interview!

That fucking bullshit at the end just killed me. Characterizing the stereotype that Black men are more athletic as a privilege is so cracked. He says “athletic,” I say consistently categorized as dangerous because of perceived physical power.

Coming here to say the same thing.

It’s absolutely absurd. “I’d prefer to think that people of different ethnicities and sexual orientations don’t exist, thanks. Any reminder to the contrary is clearly liberal propoganda.” Like, what?

And what exactly makes this SJW crap? Are you seriously taking the position that all coverage about a Black or LGBTQ person is somehow SJW? It’s an interview about a comic. The subject of the comic is a relationship between two Black women. Your solution is apparently never to cover anything that involves that subject…

Oops, I can see how it could come off that way! I had heard of Jem, and it was on my list already. But I haven’t read it yet. :(

I also haven’t heard of Stumptown, but that sounds right up my alley.

Oh, haven’t heard of Velvet or Slam! Thanks for the rec!

Oh, also, if you’re into unsettling horror, Clean Room is also predominantly ladies.

Fwiw, Bitch Planet and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina are really good, too.

Criminal attorney here, chiming in to second. Never ever ever never.

There was a two-part episode on the New Orleans history podcast a little while back the sale of enslaved persons by Georgetown. Each episode is about 10 minutes long, and it’s a good companion piece if people are curious about learning more. Tripod: New Orleans at 300 

For fiction, Rosemary’s Baby is the only one that I’ve read. I enjoyed it, fwiw. I’ve also read the Nazi Officer’s Wife, which although non-fiction, reads like fiction. It was enjoyable but felt a little short.
