Man, when I was an intern I loved doing those (properly). I told everyone in the ER to send me every abscess, boil, carbuncle, furuncle, sebaceous cyst.... it was my favorite thing.

it's an incompletely closed gill from when you were a developing embryo.

I AM NOT WATCHING THAT AND FUCK YOU FOR LINKING IT

what pissed me off the most was the fact that he didn't wipe the existing hair off of the tweezers in between pulls. Like START FRESH OMG

YES. DIDN'T HE REMOVE THE HAIR FROM THE TWEEZERS BEFORE PULLING SOME MORE OUT. That is bad form.

I've seen worse. The thing that was freaking me out was that HE DIDNT WASH THE FUCKING TWEEZERS. There was obviously gunk on it from previous extraction attempts. Ugh ugh ugh.

The best part about the comments section here are the well-intentioned folks that just get eviscerated by people looking to be outraged. You don't have to look, outraged people! There is plenty to be angry about; stop taking it out on people who mean well (even if meaning well isn't quite good enough).

Your assumption here is a problem. You assume that the commenter is looking for a prize. They aren't. They are saying they don't need to apologize for sympathy and empathy which is offered without reward to all walks of life. That the automatic assumption (on your part, it would seem) that they are saying these…

Your essay makes me uncomfortable. I honestly don't know how to help or be an ally. I work with kids in the family court system, either through abuse/neglect or juvenile delinquency/incorrigability. I want to fight for these kids, the majority of whom are POC. How do we do that without becoming a "good white person"?…

Would you have said the same thing to the white Mississippi freedom riders? They were good white people, too, and they paid the ultimate price for their decision to stand up for justice. Or the straight folk who mourned the death of Matthew Shepard? Or the men who fight for equal pay for women? Or the able-bodied…

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

I guess the question is "How can white people be supportive of the issue without seeming to demean or take over the issue? " If white people don't talk talk about what they do in the situation, then the narrative is that white people are ignoring the issue (which so many do). If white people talk about the issue,…

In my mind-cannon, Lily went with James because Severus was going deeper and deeper into the dark arts, and clearly was going to follow the up and coming Death Eaters.

Cat shit can be extremely dangerous to both pregnant women and newborn babies. So stop being a twit. Seriously.

For all the dead ppl

*If someone told me "go home and eat a Hot Pocket" I would just say "OK!" and assume they were trying to be my friend.*

It's titties, not tiddies. A singular boob is not a tid, it's a tit.

I've watched several agendas get slowly pushed into the mainstream consciousness over my lifetime, and this is part of how it succeeds. It's not just the loud, angry articles calling for action- it's also the subtle, sometimes funny little pictures, videos and editorials that subversively get into people's heads and…

"There are reasons why white gun's rights activists can walk into a Chipotle restaurant with assault rifles and be seen as gauche nuisances while unarmed black men are killed for reaching for their wallets or cell phones, or carrying children's toys."
