It’s an incredible exercise for children and young people. Not only does it teach about the decisions you make have outcomes that have repercussions but it also teaches where food is actually from and the lost connection we have with our food. Fish aren’t born with breadcrumbs.

My mother has terrible anxiety. Everything is a life-ending disaster for her. I didn’t realise until recently exactly how anxious I am and how much of it is probably emulation. I just thought that perpetually being convinced that something dreadful is going to happen was normal!

Yeah, I have a lot of friends who do that. They raise the animals like pets prior to eating them. It’s actually really easy to become desensitized to the idea of animal slaughter, especially when it’s food animals. When I was in college, we were required to watch how different animals were slaughtered and processed…

Maybe some of the kids will become vegetarians. That would be great.

I have a kid the same age as these students, and I am also a teacher. I wouldn’t do a project like this because it would be a pain in the ass, but if my son’s teacher had a project like this I would think he was pretty lucky. The last thing I’d do would be one of those parents that go in and complain because Snowflake…

I know I’m not eligible, but I’ll leave this here for everyone to enjoy as Exhibit A in those fun professional negs:

In the same vein: “Wow, your pronunciation is really good!”. This was said to me by my boss after I told him my own son’s full name. He literally complimented me for correctly pronouncing the name I picked out.

“Don’t worry. They don’t mean you. You’re not really black. Not like that.”

I wish. I’ve had pretty great luck with men but that guy was a real piece of work. I did tell him his ostrich skin cowboy boots that he’d just paid $800 for were fake. He was Danish but super into Texas culture, so I think that hurt him more than a wangpunch.

“You move a lot better than most cripples I’ve seen with your condition. Good on you for toughin’ it out and not gettin’ a wheelchair. You should be proud of how strong you are.”

I get messages on OKC all the time that say things like “I actually don’t think you’re curvy” or “you don’t seem like a nerd to me” followed by winky faces/smiles. It’s like, wow, thanks for taking two positives from my profile and letting me know you think they’re horrendous afflictions.

The moment I meet my very short, balding blind date, he skips the introductions to say this:

I’ve been wondering the same thing Josh Groban...

“Creating your own environment of privilege” is a pretty unromantic way to talk about your girlfriend.

What the gallery owner seems to be missing is the chasm between the artist’s *legal* obligations to credit the original work, and the artist’s *moral* obligations to credit the original work. What’s effed up about this is that the derivative work isn’t cool because of his dumb grafitti on it, it’s cool because of the…

I don’t understand if you have read the article and failed to understand or you don’t agree with the assertions.

“Why not publish a photo of Dylann Roof, the racist shooter of those nine victims? Don’t bury the lede.”

Is that Mark Sanford the same “former Governor that disappeared for a week to have an affair in Argentina” Mark Sanford? He got elected again?

The fact that Stormfront and Fox News are both pushing the “War on Christians” narrative is both deeply disturbing, yet completely unsurprising.
