This is just my opinion, albeit from the perspective of a victim/witness; her comparison of brides and victim/witnesses belies any understanding of the gravity of the job. If you don't have any direct experience, don't pretend that you do, and don't belittle the trauma of those you purport to want to help. Goddamn.…

There was this guy today at the cafe, where we were the only two people in the room, and he kept on staring at me, while I was eating, doing homework, and using the phone. And as I was using Tinder, I saw his profile, it was quite racially charged and full of fetishization (think confederate flags, Yellow Fever,…

NO FUCKING SHIT.

Yep. Obama DOES have a deep knowledge of history. He knows about all the great things we've done as a nation as well as all the shitty things we've done, and he wants to steer America to a brighter future. The anti-intellectualism in the conservative movement is truly offensive to me. The entire purpose of learning…

Also, is anti-colonialism some kind of problem?! COLONIALISM WAS AND IS A TREMENDOUS EVIL, RUDOLPH. I want to staple a copy of King Leopold's Ghost to Giuliani's stupid face.

Why can't the white community control their inbred bigots?

From the point of view of a non-American, I think that Obama's more subdued form of patriotism makes him more respected internationally than other presidents have been.

There's a nice tie-in between this story, about how Obama doesn't GET America, man, and that thing Madeleine posted yesterday about how that one Fox News lady wants to change the way America learns about history http://jezebel.com/jezebel-bestie…

The problem is that there very likely are quite a few talented, black voice actors who are not being cast, even to voice black characters. It is of concern, and I really like the term digital black face.

Don't get me wrong, I loved this game, but if the best example of inclusivity of blacks in gaming is a side story game with no impact on anything larger than itself, and was originally marketed exclusively to a single platform (and a niche system at that), especially when compared to the larger AC narrative that's…

You don't understand the "representation thing?" It's simple: people want to look at their media and feel like they are accepted. They want to see action heroes who look like them, read novels written by people who look like them, listen to music by people who look like them. They want their world, their lives,…

The problem IS that we don't have enough black developers. AND developers are unwilling to work outside of their insanely small comfort zone.

If Katherine Heigl can get work after biting the hand that feeds (repeatedly) and just being the worst, I don't why Mo'Nique is having opportunities taken away.

i was once detained by lieutenant-in-training German Shepherd puppy at the airport. She wanted my chocolate that I had in the bag. Apparently I was the fourth person she had alerted to the police for OMG DRUGS who had chocolate in their bag XD

actually i have a right to the attention of every dog

ADULTOSAUR in: THE ACADEMY PERSON

When I was taking my insurance company to court, their attorney went through the worst things listed in the DSM as causes for PTSD, asking me if I'd been through them one by one. Every time I said no, he looked at the jury like "can you believe this bitch?"

They were just trying to be friendly how were they supposed to know it was a service dog are we sure she asked them nicely to stop distracting her dog maybe she's exaggerating about how abusive they were to her I mean maybe her PTSD is making her see it as worse than it really is....

And all the people who miiiight acknowledge that her ptsd is real only because she's a veteran, but would otherwise dismiss it because it's "just" from sexual assault and that's disrespectful to people who've seen combat and blah blah. Those are my favorites. The ones who think they get to decide who gets to have ptsd…

VERY BAD KINJA
