Some schools lead people to believe it's the only option. And given how shitty most police forces are at dealing with sexual assault and rape survivors, it's no surprise that some people would rather turn to a known university employee than an unknown officer.
WHY ISN'T THIS IN MY MOUTH RIGHT NOW?
I do want to know if the PR person who came up with "biased, boring, bougie" for her got a raise, because they DESERVE IT.
For the first time, you've made me sad. I will fight you, on behalf of Lady Licorice and Beloved Raisinets. Not to fucking mention Charleston Chews.
I've had those. Well, mac & cheese bites that are fried. They're pretty good.
I've lived in and around Chicago my whole life and I have no problem with that assertion. I think it's more than likely that racism played a huge factor in this.
As a Chicagoan? Living in a city where a police officer shut his own bar down because there were too many black people in it?

She's one of the few authors on this site that engages with the comments section frequently, she's generally a pleasant person…

It's not. It's really not. At all. They put chocolate in there.
If you honestly think that words like rubber necking and voyeurism can be used without an aspect of personal or moral judgement at the people they're leveled at, you and I have different understandings of how people communicate in subtext.
