This entire article reminds me of that “How the Deadspin Staff is Voting” article, up to and including the “reasons” given by some Deadspin staff for their choices.

Is this a normal type of defense? “If everything had been completely different, this hypothetical would for sure definitely be true because we say it would, therefore this person isn’t at fault for what they actually did in our actual reality!!”

Oh my god, that kind of cabin retreat just sounds so fantastic.

The first thing I thought it looked like was the Air Jordan symbol, but this is far more accurate on so many levels.

I’m so sorry. *internet hug*

That’s some (un)fortunate font. I absolutely read it as “VIP and General Deceptions” which is a 160% more accurate description.

Came here for this. The only thing “sad” that needs to be associated with this idiot is a sad trombone.

Nooo! Schultzy’s has serious brats!

Oh, definitely. I’m just pleased to see an actual apology instead of the “I’m sorry you were offended” bs that passes for apologies these days.

At the beginning of the drill, teachers in one Stafford County Public School directed children to bathrooms or locker rooms closest to them, but couldn’t decide where to send the girl, who is trans.

That orange outfit gives me life. It’s so fantastic.

Fantastic article, thank you for sharing! Ms. Burke is a treasure and while I wish her work had gotten a nice huge spotlight twelve years ago, I’m glad it’s getting one now even if it’s a problematic kind of spotlight.

All of this. It’s just another version of “well, what was she wearing, it must be her/the clothes/anything other than the men engaging in predatory behavior.”

Mint tea and pretending it has lots of alcohol in it.
