Ugh. I have a feeling you're going to end up very drunk and very broke.

OMG. That is terrifying.

Cool, Judith. My reaction was that we need to work harder to create a culture of safety and understanding of one another so we don’t create these gross Petri dishes of hate. But sure. Use this as an opportunity to “one up” someone else’s experience.

You're misconstruing a lot of what I'm saying, and while you previously said you want a dialogue, it appears you're actually just interested in being right.

It sounds like a cookie that racists make.

Because history has been so invested in the one drop rule. Because our history and present want those with one drop to ignore the drop, as the one drop diminishes their value, their opportunity. Because telling people to buck up and stop being so sensitive is so easy for someone who doesn’t have to be hyper vigilant…

Sending you hugs. Feminism should be a safe space for intersectionality to occur, and the betrayals in that area have to be incredibly taxing for POC.

It will have nothing to do with what he looks like. She was just ranting earlier about one of the demands being that 10% of the faculty be black. “Not Asian! Not Hispanic! Just black!” So I anticipate this being about the university just trying to appease the students instead of hiring someone who will actually…

The comments on this article make me wish I knew how to gif. This has Homer walking backing into the bushes all over it.

I'm really optimistic about this. In related news, I bet my not-willing-to-admit-it-racist mother who works there is pissed.

I want to hug her. Feeling lonely is a terrible thing.

I love her. What a smart, clever way to take a stand that spoke volumes in a sea of hate.

Good grief. Thank you. That seemed so bonkers.

Anxiety is such a beast.

Pardon me. I think I may be confused here. Is the ACLU defining someone stating that they intend to shoot every black person they see as an expression one should be free to give?

Hugs. Most people gloss over the part where you have all these intrusive thoughts about things happening to people you love and focus entirely on the part where you just must have a super clean house, right? No. I don’t. I go for long bouts of not being able to leave my house because when I do, I am bombarded with…

Your uterus makes those tampons solid red.

I actually worked as a student affairs counselor at a law school, and I had stress dreams of being enrolled in law school because I saw how terrible it was for so many people on a regular basis. If it ends up happening, it won’t be for another five years or so, so I could very well end up changing my mind again.

This raises points I had never thought about, and you get all the stars.
