Alright, everyone, you read the mural. Let’s all get to work and BOEK HE BLUF.

My cousin is a Kilt Queen, but he’s on my mother’s side (the racist side). He’s made a whole career about his one-drop Scottish heritage. Bagpipes, sporran, family crest and all. I can’t wait to tuck in next to him at the next family get together, pull up the old family tree on Ancestry.com and show him my black…

Listen, as a Black woman I am very happy to say that I am the 20th great-granddaughter of Robert the Bruce, just because I know it pisses some Braveheart motherfuckers off!

My one experience with Condé Nast was a weird one. I was brought in to interview for some entry level position and met with an editor (I don’t remember what division). After our meeting was done, I was told the publisher wanted to meet with me. I was sent into a big, fancy office where I was promptly told “Forget…

Ooops. Here you go

I only know the food side of it, but I’ve hard a lot of the same problems exist on the journalism side. Like, getting a good job generally means you worked a lot of unpaid internships or horribly compensated spots to “build your resume” in a way that a lot of people just can’t afford to do.

I realize that Trump lowered the bar right to the goddamn ground, but we really shouldn’t be happy when the alternative *just* clears said bar.

So we either get “you ain’t black!” with a bumbling apology, or “look at my African American over there/have you ever fucked a black b****?” with nothing close to an apology. Perhaps quarantine would be a good time to try that meth I’ve been hearing so much about.

A white man policing blackness is bad enough. But what really got me was that no one had brought up possibly voting for Trump. This was in response to basic, legitimate questions about his record. This is part of a pattern with him, and is one of the main problems with his primary argument for his candidacy being “I’m…

I mean, of that list, only Lappos explicitly disclaims that there was any sexual motivation around the incident. You can fairly read Flores’s and Kohnert-Yount’s statements to mean they don’t think there was any sexual motivation about the incident, and I suppose I would, although they only explicitly claim that Biden…

The Times story followed on I think the Washington Post reporting, in which the reporters dug into her therapist’s notes and found mentions of the assault years before the confirmation hearings. But later the Times credulously reported (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/25/us/politics/deborah-ramirez-brett-kavanaugh-alle…

Please explain why the times reported on Blasey Ford’s case with headlines such as this “Brett Kavanaugh Fit in With the Privileged Kids. She Did Not” or “For Christine Blasey Ford, a Drastic Turn From a Quiet Life in Academia” while Tara Reade’s article simply read “Examining Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Allegation…

The general consensus from who? 

As an addition to my rant there, because I realize there’s a lot of people here who don’t actually read the linked articles, the particular NYT article in question lists and links the allegations against Biden from last year in the fourth paragraph. The edited part in question is in the sixth paragraph. So the article…

Most Americans bought into the Iraq war.

I mean, Biden’s entire pitch, the entire reason for his candidacy, was his electability. If some snarky blogs and tweets from people who just wish he would be better are enough to jeopardize his chances, it sure seems like the entire basis for his candidacy was a lie.

Just an absolutely amazing job of coalition building here.

I mean, he doesn’t have to.  But presumably he’d like to win in November, right?  His path to victory probably doesn’t involving failing to turn out a significant portion of left-leaning voters, but you never know.  

Remind me again how Biden was the only electable one?

I work for a hospital and ordered heavy gauge clear vinyl from local JoAnn’s fabric stores so we could quickly set up “sneeze guards” to protect our staff who typically interact with patients across a desk, like registrars. I ordered basically everything I could find in our local area one day and got confirmation…
