It’s my understanding that Mackenzie Scott co-founded Amazon. That money is not divorce money, it’s “I founded Amazon” money. I’m pretty sure she continued to be a higher up all the way through (maybe still?).

I think it’s partly racist, but also, a lot of grade school teachers really hate kids who excel or who deign to show boredom in the face of learning nothing new for years and years.

Prejudice is pretty…

Yeah same.

Don’t drag X into it. We remember all of this from Usenet.

I am here for your username.

It’s not an accident that, when I had kids, I started looking up recipes for veg from other countries. American vegetables are [sad trombone].

No mention of his real-life crossover fic marriage to Blair from Gossip Girl?

Oh man I saw that one.
