That’s what I learned back in middle school. We did an active shooter drill and the teachers locked the doors and we hid under the desks or against the walls where if someone looked in the classroom, they wouldn’t see us.

So, I may dox myself with this, but I grew up in the next town over. As soon as the news stations began reporting on the accusations, everyone was up in arms and horrified that a young girl (18 years old and engaged, btw) had been “kidnapped, raped, and left for dead.” Granted, the majority of the responses I saw were…

What I hate most about this story is that people may remember the story, not as 3 black men raping a white girl, but as a girl who lied about being raped. And because of that, they will seriously doubt every other rape accusation. It’s hard enough to convince police in small towns that something as horrible as rape…

Fun (in the darkest way) fact: Many, many moons ago, the courthouse in Sherman, TX - only one town over - was burnt to the ground by white residents b/c a black man who had been accused of raping a white woman sat in a jail cell there.

pain. It took me way too long to figure it out, though.

Love it! We call them meow meows. :)

Ugh. Tucking shirts into only the front of my pants is not something I want to do. It highlights my least favorite part of my body - my gut.

Love tailors. I had a built in bra for my wedding dress even though it had short sleeves (it was prettier than I’m describing it now) and I wish all of my shirts had built in bras.

You are wonderful. THANK YOU!

YES. I tried on a cold-shoulder dress today at Nordstrom Rack. Cute color and the cold shoulder thing kindaaa worked, but it was a billowy tent that somehow accentuated the parts of my body I do not want to be accentuated, i.e. my belly, while hiding the good bits, i.e. boobs and waist.

If kiki=kitty, then YES. I 100% agree with you.

I only just realized that the (horribly painful) shoes I wore to my wedding a few years ago were Ivanka Trump. I’m keeping them b/c I don’t know what else to do with them and they’re in fine condition, but they were so goddamn painful I took them off almost immediately after we did all the kitschy photo opps (first…

My cousins had one and he was kind of mean. He would also continually hop up and down and up and down outside the back door until someone joined him. You could sit on the backporch and throw a tennis ball to the bottom of the yard (it was on a big hill) and he would race down to get it and bring it back in about 10…

I am crying laughing at this. I can’t help it. I tried so hard not to make a noise (open work-space) and finally had this weird laughing/crying outburst near the end. I had to send the video to my coworkers so they could understand why I have tears streaming down my cheeks from laughing.

Did any other Texans out there catch Tinderholt’s oh-so-convenient charter school reference?

If he said “gonna”, then they need to use that word. It’s like when any of those moronic politicians misuse a word or make one up on their own. The news still needs to transcribe it the way they verbalized it.

Don’t you dare make fun of that charming movie about the most adorable kitten on the face of the planet.

I love watching him on Master Chef Junior! He’s so sweet to the kids and the kids - for the most part - are sweet and supportive to each other.

Very well-said. Much better than my intended answer of “late-stage alcoholic and overall shithead.”

Or Brad. Or Vlad. Any name that rhymes with ‘ad’ really = douche.
