Feel free to have secret white meetings and email chains about these helpful tips.

“I’m very smart! I don’t have to come to class!”

Why am I seeing this on the second-to-last day of February?? I’ve been missing out on seeing this sweet cherub face for four weeks??? I’m gonna OD looking at all this #BlackGirlMagic in one day (I’d like to think I have a high tolerance, but I am white, so...).

I used to feel uncomfortable around some trans women, until I realized they were mostly in their late teens/early twenties...and were acting just like normal, overly dramatic teenage girls. From then on, all uncomfortableness was due to me being An Old: “Um, no, I don’t have a Snapchat account...”

Oh shit, you’re right. The poll he quoted was 55%. The real number is 40%. Gaaaahhhhh.

That doll does not do her justice. She has such a great smile, and the doll looks like it’s about to take the SAT.

The poll he quoted was an outlier. Most other polls have him around 30%. Which means that only one-third of this country is delusional....Yeah, way less terrifying...

I’m in a different situation- I can afford to take a day off, but I work for a very small company (13 people, 8 of them women). Although the president of the company is a Republican (in mostly the ‘fiscal conservative’ vein), he is a very generous employer and doesn’t bring his politics to work (the vast majority of…

Kara, I love you and I love Shade Court, but I would totally understand if you took a few weeks off.... 

I had to buy pepper the other day and even though I was at the grocery store, drove to Penzey’s instead. I just want to hug the ladies that work there (this particular story is in a GOP stronghold). I restrained myself. But they gave me free cocoa and a sticker!

Good thing there are no trolls in this thread. If there were, I’d have to tell them about ancient Timbuktu, or the origins of math, or maybe just drop a hardcover copy of Guns, Germs and Steel on their head.

I know, right? The suit! Is he single, ‘cause I wanna set him up with my sister in DC.

Ha! No. Copywriter. Not just a different breed, a different species. I don’t own any Ugg boots...

Yes! Ida B. Wells as head of WH Communications? Mother Jones as Secretary of Labor, maybe?

Hey! I work in marketing and I have absolutely no desire to see La La Land. I rarely see movies in the theater, but I am desperate to see Hidden Figures on the big screen.

Nope. He’s making profits as executive producer. The malignant narcissist in chief will find a way to show that he was the one who turned it around and brag about how much money it’s making him

Meh. I’m good with “white supremacists” and “white nationalist” since technically, “Nazi” is short for “Nationalsozialist” ...although:

I honestly don’t understand all this promoting shelter pet stuff. I mean, to me, it’s obvious. The fact that other people don’t think that way blows my mind. It’s common sense. Pets come from shelters, and you should brush your teeth every day. Buying a purebred dog just seems like paying $50 for a white t-shirt just…

As someone who traded Waukesha for the Cities, I agree.

I am from Waukesha, and I was pissed. But then again, I got the hell out of there as soon as I could and now live less than two miles from the lake.
