Biblical teachings keep him from making “Anti-American” cakes? Which psalm is that mandate in?

I don’t think they could face legal repercussions on this case, which is not to say that what they did wasn’t highly unethical. Hopefully, people pay attention to this b.s. and Anthro’s sales suffer, and/or this story gets more coverage and Hill’s designs are purchased.

A minimalist design such as this can be copied without any repercussions. Honestly maybe she was inspired by something she saw and thought to do it even subconsciously. Low balling the price from a supplier and then outsourcing sucks and stamps guilty all over it. However such a simplistic design and idea is not hers

This is a pretty common design that I’ve seen tons of makers use (especially in brass, but also in ceramic and other materials), so I’d be a little more hesitant to head straight for outrage. That Anthropologie offered to re-order but at a lower price likely reflects the ubiquity of this style of earring and seems

There is a difference between advising women not to let their guard down and saying that women who ostensibly have let their guard down are making excuses for fucking up when they get raped while their guard is down. Will I advise my daughter to be careful and not drink too much at parties lest she end up incapable of

Focus group?

Hey cool, you flipped to page 2 of the “Just got fucking rocked so hard they’ll need my dental records to ID me online” playbook and are acting like you’re super totally trolling and it’s so funny that everybody thinks you’re a dipshit

This has never happened before and will surely be believed by all involved parties

Audio description are most definitely for the blind and yeah they are a minority but that doesn’t mean they should be ignored. Accessibility is important it’s why sidewalks have ramps, it’s why crosswalks chirp.

Clearly you’ve never been blind

It is absolutely easy to read. It is a comfortable font. Just like sweats are super comfortable pants. If you’re dropping off a casserole to uncle Fred or dropping the kids off at basketball practice, sweats and sneakers are a perfectly acceptable wardrobe. Likewise, if you’re sending a note to aunt marge, or you’re a

People really need to start asking, “In what context would your comments have been acceptable?” when this shitty attempt to excuse shitty comments is dragged out.

Agreed on nearly every point. Except one.

Yeah, this is a hill I’ll die on each and every time, though Jezebel readers tend to snark hard on bad grammar and punctuation: looking down on someone for poor written or verbal communication is classist and ableist and unkind. Good communication skills are not a solid indicator of intelligence or worth. Come at me,

This stunned me. I have worked in literacy programs with kind, wonderful, strong (and very shamed) adults. They simply have a hard time reading (for myriad reasons), and some of the compensations they have developed are beyond genius.

For someone who says she loves cats, she sounds like a seriously shitty cat owner! Anyone who lets a sick cat shit all over the basement instead of seeking medical care is an awful person who should not own cats. The new cats deserve a home with a family that will take care of them. DON’T GET ANY MORE CATS, LADY!

From my own judgement, it seems the owner is the problem, not the cats. I think the cats would be happier in a home without children where they could receive more attention from the cat owner, I think?

She’s not rejoicing, I’ve been driven out of jobs I loved (by non-sexual harassment) and of course the scum were fired after I left, and it made me so angry no one gave a flying fuck while I was the one being shit on.

It was really brave of Bambadjan Bamba to speak publicly about his immigration status. I hope he doesn’t face any negative consequences for it.

I stopped watching Today after they fired Curry. They treated her like shit.

Reenactment of Curry “processing” the Lauer firing:
