She wasn’t calling the protesters “thugs”; there were 7 days of non-violent protests that Jezebel didn’t make a peep about. She was calling the people smashing windows, setting fires, and looting businesses thugs. The people in Baltimore protesting didn’t want anything to do with the violence, nor did Freddie Gray’s…

and shes getting a lot of shit from the governor. like, publicly on television.

This is the problem: we’re expected to kiss the police department’s ass. It’s not enough that the mayor is condemning the rioters. She has to grovel at the feet of the Baltimore police department because we’re supposed to look at them as royalty.

Can we talk about the Republican governor totally missing the point by castigating the mayor for not calling him sooner? I’m not an SRB apologist, but she DID say in earlier pressers that she was looking for a peaceful resolution, and that she understood why people were protesting. I think she does need to stop saying…

This is just a symptom of disease that is the in-built institutional racism that cannot be saved by the concentration of melanin in a mayor’s or a president’s skin. The rioting and looting is a symptom of the same disease. The deliberate media ignorance of what is happening in places like Balitmore is a symptom of the…

I feel a bit of sympathy for her. She’s stuck having to assuage a lot of stakeholders. Also skinfolk, kinfolk, etc.

I live in Ferguson. Solidarity to you.

If I hear one more fucking white person in Baltimore complain about missing a fucking baseball game, I swear to god. Like, I’m devastated that this is happening to my city, don’t get me wrong. But I’m more devastated that my white neighbors really only care that their vapid consumerism has been disrupted and are…

well they sure made up for it last night

I’m actually quite into the fact that she didn’t have one. It’s unusual.

Aw, I was actually kind of relieved to see she hadn’t painted her toenails. I was debating wearing a nice pair of sandals to work today, and then I didn’t because I hadn’t painted my nails. I got all excited to see this, thinking maybe it’s getting acceptable, but I guess my first instinct was right.

BUT...

you seem fun

At what point do people understand that 140 characters isn’t a good format to convey nuance or satire?

Wait.

I discovered something truly beautiful while I was searching for the above gifs :

You’re right. I’ve done it before - didn't mean to do it, didn't even realize I was - but I yanked someone around because *I* wasn't ready. It was shortly after the suicide of my ex. I just didn't realize how messed up I was at the time. To the OP - I am sorry for the loss of your relationship; it sounds painful. Give…

Things like these make me sad because I am a big hairy ox who would look a fool in them.

Is it just me or do these models look like women? It’s such a wonderful change after being so used to seeing barely there 17-year-olds. Look how powerful and beautiful they look. Brava!

Still processing, but I think this one is my favorite.
