Exactly. These are people who have served their time. And, I might add, it’s certainly not an impossibility that many of them were there for like, I don’t know, not using a turn signal when changing lanes. You’re telling me that someone who commits a relatively minor infraction (or, hell, doesn’t commit it but winds…

They are TERRIBLE! Autistic kids are always treated like burdens on their family—you should be SCARED of autism because your autistic kid will RUIN YOUR LIFE! My fav ad is one where a woman—in front of her autistic daughter—admits she once considered driving them both off a bridge and only didn’t because of her…

I read an AskReddit thread last month asking autistic individuals what they wished people knew about their lives. One of the highest-rated comments was from an autistic person saying that Autism Speaks was a “horrible” organization, and a lot of people on the Spectrum chimed in saying similar things, that the…

I’m a Virginian, and I gotta say: Terry is really good at getting it done. I don’t know if he’s the cause, or the effect, of this red state becoming a swing state.

Maybe she won’t have any. I’m ok with that. Don’t get me wrong, I think the idea that Trump might get elected is horrifying. However, I like the idea of two candidates who don’t have the “traditional” family set-up for a president. Hillary won’t have a first lady and I doubt Bill will have any initiatives in the…

“He stresses that his family members were legal immigrants.”

Suing scientology? That’s ballsy. Good luck to her.

I learned a new word today: miscegenation. Usually I feel smarter after learning a new word. Not today.

The kindest way I can think of to put it is that sometimes men of color focus on their race- or ethnicity-based oppression to the extent they become extremely myopic about their male privilege.
