I recently saw a buzzfeed or Twitter slide show of before and after school shots and the kids (of all races) looked like they had gone through a tornado by 3pm. Pristine braids gone, outfits stained and ripped, lopsided hairdos, etc. Kids are magnets for mess. 

Yeah, no, I cannot compute feeling “ire” at ever seeing a little girl who looks like this or having the nerve to compare this hairstyle—which looks like the girl just got out of soccer practice for fuck’s sake—to minstrel imagery.

This is how a Black girl with 4C natural hair looks after a day of playing around outside and being carefree. All the kids look cute and the “after school” photoshoot theme is unique and adorable. You can lay your kid’s edges to the gawds at 8am and they’ll look like they went through a wind tunnel by 3pm, and that’s…

You don’t have to have been in one to recognize when someone else could use one, though. 

Fuckin’ A.  In a prior lifetime, I was a bit of a brawler.  Gave out a few and got a few.  Would attest that nothing like a good ass-kicking to recalibrate your world view.  I can guarantee that, much like their orange dipshit boss, none of these ghouls has ever been in a fight.  

i can see stephen miller flying under the radar through most of high school, quietly believing he was smarter than everyone else in the room and then he probably graduated college quickly and went to work and by the time he became an adult, it was too late for anyone to train him how not to be an asshole because he…

I tend to agree.  Miller is the kind of twat who got the shit kicked out of him a few times, and he’s spent his entire life trying to hurt others in return.  He’s a bully at heart, taking his anger out on everybody else.

You could 100% beat the shit out of Stephen Miller and he’d just use it as justification later down the line for why he was a shitbag, in an effort to make people like him.

noooooo do not feel guilty. ain’t no reason to feel bad about wishing someone had knocked a nazi’s teeth out in high school.

This is exactly right....they need that mouth popped early on to check their shit.

Stephen Miller is Jewish. You don’t have to be white to be a devoted foot soldier of white supremacy. 

I feel this way about so many people who have lived lives free of consequence.  And I feel guilty for feeling that way.

..........how, how am i single? i’m not vile, i have a moral compass, i can be a delight. nobody has, you know, called me a siren but if this guy can get someone to consider anything about him desirable, i mean! 

100% this. I got a little too big for my britches in high school, got tuned up in front of about 1/3 of the school. One of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm not kidding.

I feel like so much of this could be solved if these people got the shit beat out of them just once in their younger years. Seriously. I really do. 

Forget it, Jake; it’s Florida Woman.

Thank you.  That was exactly where my question was that wasn’t clear in the article.  I think it’s absolutely fair to compensate in line with experience (and a scary, slippery slope to violate that for ‘optics’ reasons.  With what you said then she was right to be outraged and walk away.  It should have been offered…

“Naturally, Lim walked away, and a few months later Chiarelli offered her half of his salary to reach some semblance of parity. She still said no, and now she’s my fucking hero.”

Trying to justify it by saying these are “industry-standard established ranges based on experience” is especially fucked-up, given the strength of their resumes. He had one movie screenwriting credit and one “story by” credit prior to Crazy Rich Asians. She’d been writing for television for two decades. It’s a flimsy…
