Right? My family is very liberal (we align leftist democrat to communist), but my mom and (occasionally) dad display serious colorism/racism and homophobia. Everyone in my family is very light skinned Latino, and my mom is white-passing. My dad is light, but tanned and has thick curly hair—two traits I inherited. My…

Pibble love post! Here’s mine (pittie, staffie, and collie/terrier mix):

Right? I have 3 dogs and my collie mix is by far the more “agressive” (she’s just teritorrial but not violently so). My staffie and my pibble are ultra gentle and sweet. Most people legitimately comment that my pibble is the sweetest best-begaved dog they know.

This actually answers my question. Thank you. It’s a bit absurd to me that this is possible, but thamk you for taking the time to explain.

I get that. My point is how can someone who isn’t the copyright holder trademark an excerpt from a copyrighted work.

While that is obvious, why would a trademark be granted on a phrase the trademark holder didn’t coin with the exception of a single number.

Right? I’m not sure how one can trademark a saying that is a rip-off of someone else’s already copyrighted work...

My coaches did something similar to this. Front leg on a low bleacher step while our conditioning coach pushed us down. In center splits, he literally sat on our backs and held us down. I’m hypermobile, so I was “lucky” that I didn’t have to be pushed, but I always felt horrible for the other girls.

I sprained/partially dislocated both ankles within 2 weeks of each other in 7th grade. The first was a trampoline accident, the second was while landing a toe-touch jump during the cheer practice I was medically prohibited from participating in, but my coach insisted I try because we had an upcoming exhibition show. .…

I would vote to classify hate speech as no longer being protected a free sppech. Hate speech has no place in a civil society, but white people will probably try to blow shit up even worse if this happened.

I mean I guess they gotta make a living until money no longer equals power. Plus, I can’t turn down a lemon chicken dog with hot deli mustard. They didn’t seem to be bad people. There and Bongo Burger were my go-to places. The place/person I can’t stand is the owner of Rasputin/Blondie’s Pizza/Bear Basics (T-shirt…

At least one by campus takes debit. I think it was to help out the students since carrying cash out there isn’t the best idea.

I’ve met the owner. He’s an anarchist as far as I can tell, so I know he chose the stuff he put up for a reason. It took them forever to even accept anything except cash. I always had to hit up an ATM before going. About a year after I graduated they finally started taking debit. Not sure if they take credit yet. Had…

Good. I know Top Dog is pretty libritarian, but they never seemed to tolerate and racist bullshit either.

Went to school in Berkeley. Lived there for 8 years. Ate Top Dog at least once per month. If his ass still has a job by tomorrow they’ll be out of business if not torn to bits before next weekend.

Seeing all this go down has broken me. I actually sobbed a few minutes before I could write this comment. Racism never disappeared, but I’m terrified of the fact that outright hate crimes are on the rise, and white people are too worried about their own feelings to care. POC are being attacked and dying. What will it…

Getting an intern job will be tough without experience, but it might be worth a shot. I recommend subbing while you do your program at first then shooting for an intern position once you’re ready to student teach. It’ll take a little longer, but subbing pays $100+ a day while allowing you to gain experience and…

True. It sounds like an over-active prey drive if it only attacks smaller animals. I wonder if it also goes after squirrels, birds, rabbits, etc... I also wonder if the owner has ever tried to do anything about it (super doubtful).

You do not need the university route for a clear (aka permanent) credential, but inless you do one of the alternatives I listed you MUST go through a state-approved program for your preliminary credential, which expires after 5 years. There are no exceptions. I finished my prelim 1 year ago at CSUN and completed my…

Good. Hopefully people will keep chasing her out of there until she stops coming there with her poorly trained dog.
