Omg this shit was sooooooooo maddening. Just say you buy into white standards of beauty and hate dark skin Black women and keep it moving you dusty ass cows. Bria is snatched. Period. 

This is a bummer, not a winner. My partner and I are in it now. We flew clear across the ocean and continent, 20+ hours and thousand of miles. This is his first Christmas ever with 2 nieces and it’s the first time he’ll be with all siblings and mom in 4 years. My parents are coming up too. But the petsitters…

Fair... although I hope you also left that comment on her post, where it can do the most good.

When I was very young (8 or 9) I had no concept of social/economic status, but I learned about it that year. I was from a typical middle class family. My parents (Santa) had left me a Super Nintendo and a few games. Filled with absolute glee, later that day I rode my bike to my friends house who lived a few blocks…

My tale of woe doesn’t hold a candle to some of the responses thus far, but what the hell - I’ll throw my hat in the ring.

So I used to hate any kind of big family thing when I was a teen because agoraphobia mixed with a huge, mentally unstable family, but the worst for me was when I was 18. This has a bit of a suicide/sexual assault trigger warning attached by the way, so read on if you just want to be sad for baby me.

No, she sent her poor husband to return them! Now, whenever my sister-in-law offers to host a holiday, we remind her to hide the steak knives.

Tried to get this in for holiday party stories, but had too much editing to do on it. Def works for horror/disastrous holidays! It’s long and needs lots more editing, but for all those looking for Crazy Christmas stories….

Proving attempted crimes can be as difficult as those that require specific intent. But given the recording... why not give it shot? I understand it’s a tactical call whether to then also charge the lesser crime, but if you are giving up attempted murder in any event, I just don't get it. Offer the jury the assault…

My extended family on my fathers side had gathered together for a big family dinner - aunts, uncles, cousins, the works. As we were prepping to sit down one of my Aunts leaned over to my eldest brother who was maybe 24 at the time and said “I see you’re losing your hair already! Well, you didn’t get that from OUR side…

I just remembered another one.

He couldn’t read at that point,

this is the type of guy that will not leave her to be until he kills her...

I feel you on the redness!!! Definitely consider ditching your witch hazel toner. Rose oil smells lovely but actually irritates skin, and witch hazel with recurring use (like a daily toner sitch) is also sensitizing. It’s better for isolated treatment of bug bites, poison ivy, etc. 

Dear girls: you are under no obligation to be nice to someone who creeps you out. You do not need to date a guy just because he says you're the love of his life. And you do not have to "give him a chance".

Laughter will destroy fragile men, but first they will fight back as hard as they can. If they have the guns, I guess they win. I have always been so staunchly against guns but now I’m thinking about getting one in case I have to protect someone in public, like a twelve year old black child chewing gum too loudly or a…

You know, I’m beginning to think that police officers are some sensitive ass snowflake motherfuckers who get all in their feelings way too often.

This right here. Bless this guy for not letting them strongarm him when he did nothing wrong.  Sue, film, resist, rinse and repeat, own these fake soldiers every time they violate personal rights and keep hitting them in the wallets and paychecks until they are either too poor to trespass against civil liberties or…

She should not have been tried as an adult. She was an abused, traumatized child. Clemency at this point would be shortening her sentence. Haslam could easily have commuted the rest of her sentence or changed it to parole, in which case she would needed to have stayed on the right side of the law to stay free. It is…

In the meantime, a rich white man beats his young girlfriend, pours bleach on her and waits for her to die at the bottom of the stairs with 40 injuries before calling for “help” and is only charged with negligence.
