You can literally die any day at any moment by anything ranging from being hit by a bus or having a freak aneurysm. Save as you will, but if you’re missing out on things you’d like to do/experience now thinking you’d be able to do them in the future anyways, just be warned.

The kicker is health insurance, at least in the US. Especially if Obamacare exchanges close. I know people who retired early (tech industry), but had to go back to work after a few years because healthcare costs were eating through their funds faster than expected.

I’m sure defending themselves would’ve gone over like a fart in church.

These children who abused these kids should be investigated. This  horrific behaviour is abuse and should be handled as such. No matter the color. Stop teaching colors which society keeps bringing up. Don’t divert what happened, an assault happened. There are serious consequences for juvenile in other states for this.…

Let’s also not forget what we also have modeled here is using sex as a way impose one’s dominance over someone else.

For god sakes the last thing most CPS’ need is more money. We (as a social services careerist) waste money on management’s pet projects, throw money away on useless technology, and contract out for the same services with the same non-profits without any results for decades. More money won’t fix any of that.

Exactly. It’s a lose-lose for those kids. If they “defend themselves,” they’re “violent thugs” who would immediately be suspended, expelled and/or charged (probably as adults) with assault.

Come on now, Lupita is worshipped on Jezebel. I don’t understand why you are going after white women as if women of all ethnicities can’t also be problematic

What’s wrong with Seth?

If their parents aren’t straight up modeling this behavior, they’re ignoring it. As someone who’s constantly debating my All Lives Matter, “Kaepernick isn’t playing because his stats” coworkers, I never underestimate the ability for white people to gaslight themselves into an oblivious wonderland where they’re not…

Why aren’t white people tired of seeing the next generation make a permanent record of their shitty behavior? Where are the white community leaders to set a positive example for their children?

“I felt bad for my child who had to experience this.”

Sent the Mississippi ACLU a letter. Hopefully I’ll hear back. This is the passive white Christian shit that I have no tolerance for.

So a woman is raped...files a criminal complaint...the DA refuses to prosecute...she campaigns against him in the next election to try and have her rapist brought to justice...and he sues her because he lost the election.

Apparently kinja just ate my post so let me repost. This is completely unrelated. The public high school right by my house that I can hear all the football stadium announcements just had a prayer and a whole Jesus is our savior thing before they played the national anthem. THIS IS NOT OK. Forced patriotism and…

Diana, your coverage of the Cosby Nightmare has been excellent. I hope they are paying you well, both in cash and in wine.

with the release of these documents please tell me he faces some form of punishment?

This is a subject very sensitive to me.. it was how my rape occured... seemingly innocent remarks by a man in a store that escalated into rape once I was in the parking lot. I was also blamed by the cops for ‘not being aware of my surroundings’ in the parking lot at night and why the hell was I out there alone?

Gosh, I just love it so freaking much when people use the term “extra.” Like, I can’t even read it without a big ol’ grin spreading across my face. In has never failed to utterly delight me!

first time I was in france walking around by myself, men would yell out of their cars, yell from the street. I asked my native friends (matriarch was old lady) and they laughed at me. I said do they think I’m a prostitue? and the whole table laughed and she said you’re beautiful that’s why. Fuck you. For all time.
