It doesn’t matter she “didn’t mean it that way”! It’s racist. It is literally part of her job to think about “intent vs. impact”. Fuck this, fire her.

Good god. This person should not be teaching. I get so frustrated that so many young people of color are left in the care of ignorant ass people like this. This is only one lesson but the lack of respect or understanding for people of color is so clear in this content - I don’t need to see the rest of her lesson plans.…

I’m not a fan of anything too ornate but give me real wood with dovetails. Especially Shaker or Arts and Craft. I got two small cherry dressers from maybe 1950s at an estate sale a few months ago for $50 (for both of them). They have simple lines and so much more solidly built than something you’d spend 4x as much on…

It breaks my heart that younger folks no longer want china, crystal and silver. A relative died recently and I was the only one who was interested in the 100 year old monogrammed silver cutlery.

In one of the Lord Peter Wimsey books from the 1930s his mother is like, ‘thank god your wife likes old antique furniture instead of the new boring modern stuff everyone else is going for these days,’ all this has happened before and all shall happen again.

I own a monstrous claw-foot dining table that can seat like twenty people when fully expanded. It’s very old and has been in my family for generations. It’s a pain in the ass to move and takes up too much space.

Several years ago on a work trip I stayed in my bosses son’s NYU apartment, and I’ll never forget finding a receipt for a $60,000 antique desk in the desk drawer.. (along side several polaroids and bags of coke).

But a lot of midcentury furniture is solid wood, unless by midcentury you mean the new stuff made to look like it’s vintage but is made with crappy modern materials. I have a Danish dresser from the 50s and it’s made of the most beautiful wood. I bought it at a vintage furniture place for a few hundred dollars, which…

My dad restored houses around VA Highlands/Atlanta in the 90's. We would walk around feeling equally horrified at all the paint over glorious crown moulding, doors, woodwork, and wonder who and why the hell this ever happened. This era is why that happened. Make it stop! I love a space with clean lines as much as the…

I’ve recently become a fan of antique furniture because it’s better quality than anything I can find/afford that’s new. Everything is shitty now because ten or twenty years ago Americans decided we prefer lots of crap to a few good things. And now we have an ample supply of pressboard that falls apart when you move it.

That’s the thing—nobody sees their home as permanent. They just want a blend of what they saw on House Flippers and whatever is trendy so they can resell it.

I love antiques and despise mass-market minimalism—to hell with bland, white-walled condos!

And the scene where Liv pretends to be a sex worker and Stabler is her john and she’s draped all over him in lingerie? WHOO!

I think the best SVU episode is when the rapper gets eaten by his lion, Stabler goes undercover and gets injured, and Cragen opens up a basketball at an airport to reveal a baby gibbon that lives inside of it.

*white man voice* As a man, people tell me to cut my hair all the time. I will chose to ignore the socio-historical context in which Black women's hair exists and the political nature of possessing and choosing to wear Black hair naturally. I will apply false equivalencies in this situation and continue to view…

Look. I get it. You let others dictate what your life will be. However, there are others who are leaders and will not let others tell them how to deal with their bodies.

Your opinion regarding a little Black girl's hair is irrelevant, you have nothing of substance to add to the discussion, go home. Bye.

You cannot possibly be this dense in real life, so in case anyone takes you seriously:

Please, continue laying on the tough love to a 12-year-old girl with naturally big hair! We're all enjoying it a lot!

Let's all stop trying to make things better, then.
