Race is decided by where your ancestors originated. It is not to be confused with culture, which is conditioned (like gender), and which we have some degree of choice in.

Wow. I don’t even know these racist assholes, but hope their tears are made of fluoroantimonic acid and it melts their faces off every time they cry and feel sorry for themselves for getting caught.

I tried to get into my town hall but they were filled to capacity - the line stretched around the block. I was bummed, but watched the livestream, and it was good to see so many people getting involved, and heartening to hear their voices expressing what I think and worry about. My congressperson is a democrat, a…

Hey Lana, in addition to pretending you’re a witch, you could also do something that might actually make a difference and help people. Like encourage your fans to contact their congress person. Or anything remotely useful.

When I was in art school (4 years ago) this cut was popular among the trendy types. There were two guys in my class who did a fashion shoot inspired by fascism and “aryans.” Obviously this haircut featured. I only remember this because I thought it was so gross to take fashion inspiration from something like that.

I had no idea this patch thing had a function. My backpack has 5 of them, including these double ones on the side...I can hang so many things from them now. But no idea why anyone would ever need to hang that many things.

When I was around 7 or 8 had a friend who I thought was rich, because her family had cable and store-bought furniture.

I’m going to the community town hall with Rep. Yvette Clark tomorrow night. Or will try to get in, anyway...there are almost 1,000 people “going” on FB.

You could call the movie “Washed Up.”

I don’t have much hope for that. It seems like they are in a win-win situation right now. They can get what they want on the conservative agenda, and then just blame any blowback on Trump, who they never liked anyway...

This is what I would like to do, but feel too guilty to.

Ew. I hope they all get the runs.

Re: your note...so this is why some countries make for-profit/ private schools illegal! Rich parents must vote in the interest of public schools if they want their children to get a decent education. Where I went to high school, catholic schools abound and anyone who can afford to sends their children there. It’s the…

I am probably too late for anyone to read this, and there are so many details that will give my identity away, but can’t help sharing.

Well, he’s an actor who apparently spends most of his waking hours drunk, not an art history major. Can’t fault him the Basquiat.

Gelatin is made from collagen which is found in skin, hooves, hair, and bones. It’s sourced from pigs or cows, not horses.

Exactly. The media needs to take responsibility for making this a bigger deal than it is. It’s not just Breitbart and Fox. Liberal media is reporting on it too. At the basis of this “news story” is nothing remarkable, just a teenager making shit up.

Most people who are sound of mind know that airlines take security pretty seriously. So I have a sneaking suspicion she might not have been an asshole but perhaps mentally unwell or intellectually challenged, in which case the situation and response (by police, if she was tasered) is pretty sad.

Has there been an epidemic of people of color making shit up? One teenager crying wolf does not make this a thing. The young woman here would probably benefit from therapy, by and large, most 18-year-old POC aren’t going around accusing white people of racism for attention. What bothers me is that this is even a story.

Thanks for pointing that out, it’s something I’ve noticed too and it’s... disturbing. The very use of the word “normalize” points to the reality that this situation is inherently abnormal.
