Swoon.

To my gray: meh. There is a fair amount of pessimism allotted for within the Dem pole that, when measured against the current Republican pole, still is sane. At least the folks mentioned actually grasp that you need people to build and maintain and those people maybe want to not have broken bodies from twelve hour…

This, really, is the crux of the issue: the means in which this was possible is more horrifying than it actually happening. Sure as shit can’t blame any in this rich people space race for wanting to go to space - let’s not act like if any one of us woke up with billions in the bank in excess of what’s needed to live…

Oh somewhere had more than those three photos. As a part of an interracial couple I wanted to slap the taste out his mouth.

I think too many are focusing on seeking empathy for the motive. Murder is wrong, full stop: any motive isn’t going to be strong enough if her life and/or the lives she cares about isn’t on the line. We’re still Team Allison because we’re seeing this through her eyes 70% of the time and for a dramedy that should be…

Saw it too. That eagle felt a bit much...

IDK, it’s more self-interest at play wrt abortion than pure racism. Poor white people are more useful than poor non-white ones for their agenda and poor non-white people are good cannon fodder/scapegoats. But let a pregnancy hinder them in any way...

Already clinching for a Piers Morgan trash take fueled by Meghan Markle wanting none of.... that.

One would say sometimes it takes being around us to get us, but Candace Owens and her white husband exist. Hopefully this implies that there was always a solid foundation there to try to get it.

That last bit: it’s not that she never wanted questions (or just wanted easy breezy questions) - it’s that she wanted more than a minute between a win/loss/draw and getting pepper-sprayed with questions. All the things she signed up for outside of tournaments don’t have a big flashy press conference - she has more…

Not trying to ungray the grays, but I have to say towards this one: I’ve read enough to know that political systems’ answer to racism, particularly systems that adhere to populism, is either hyper racist (or, excuse me, ethnonationalist [because when forced from your home how dare you hurt their feelings])) or…

Another issue that irks me: the use of Marxism and socialism as the boogey-men behind CRT/having honest discussions on the role of racism. Do none of these people read anything or pay attention to anything? Pure communism and socialism dgaf about achieving racial or ethnic reckonings - that’s typically the first type…

So... he’s going to go back and re-write portions of his memoir, yes? Because he eludes to the factor of race as an inflexible variable that affected his life and mobility. For real - what is in the modern GOP Kool-Aid?

The disconnect is immense. There’s a school near me with his name on the library. A part of me knows it’s for his work with pediatrics... but....

Shockingly those are the type of lessons primary and secondary schools are shit at pulling off. Needed, but you need competence and actual empathy to do it well.

And that’s the real crux of the issue - abandon the rules and becomes the enemy. Maybe not right away, not with the shit Republicans are pulling now. But true representative democracy requires those fuckheads’ participation, skirting that will end up making the Democrats no better. Problem is without that the party…

A lot of it is him being ridiculously short-sighted and stupid. Could’ve been gritting our teeth through Trump 2.0 had he not been butt-hurt about Fauci and Birks getting a minute more of attention than him. Shrewd management of a pandemic isn’t as sexy as manufacturing a war, but it would’ve kept plenty of folks…

An IUD involves speculum, numbing the cervix, taking another tiny speculum to open up the cervix, and deploying the device (fingers cross you don’t have a ridic tiny uterus and it’s too big). Worth it for 3-10 years of not having to think too hard about it (again:  if not too big). Shot in the ‘scrot that last as long…

Thing is I bet the AF wasn’t forcing everyone to go to the language schools to get level 3-4 proficient in French - they were just making sure you folks knew enough to explain yourselves if shit goes down and saying ‘Je suis americain’ wasn’t enough. You try to get through an interview with rapid-fire non-academic Fren…

The two are not the same, to put them as such is insulting to Dr. Hannah-Jones. Cornell West (who long had ‘not safe for delicate white people’ on him) left a tenured position at Harvard after years of having it, taught elsewhere (another place where he kept being unsafe for white people), went back to a non-tenured…
