Chicago is the Midwest, yes, but “Middle America” is a colloquial term similar to “The Heartland” specific to suburban/rural areas that are typically conservative and blue collar, not large and diverse cities. I encourage you to check out Chicago and a town like East Saint Louis or Quincy. They’re the same state but…

I’ll keep saying it, but they should just hold it on The Mall or in Lafayette Square so Trump has to deal with the mess. Like, an impromptu gathering of twitter kids, insta models, youtubers and a scattering of neo-hippies with too few port-a-johns and just let it be a disaster right on his doorstep. lol

They were definitely taking the piss. But there is something about a someone referencing themselves in the third person that I always find unsettling, regardless of the context! 

Sometimes also the control. This is still an inherently sexist country - and law is a tool; it can be an instrument of justice or of oppression — and look how many lives they got to ruin.

The picture at the top of the article is several of the justices on the Supreme Court of New Jersey including Chief Justice Stuart Rabner (the man in glasses who is in focus in the pic). The caption incorrectly states the picture is of “Disciplinary counsel Maureen G. Bauman addressing the court during a disciplinary…

But I do wonder, why it is Davis’ tears are considered so remarkable? And I do find it impossible to listen to stories like hers without thinking of the generations upon generations of people of color—black and Native people in particular—who have said the very same things and begged this country, just once, to…

This is the correct headline. “White woman convicted of crime she obviously committed. Demands to see manager.”

“As a black man” lololo

So many bullshit tropes in one place my head is about to explode.

Jeez. Serious accusations of insanity and shitty behavior because someone criticized a website. Maybe take it down a notch.

Uggggh. The judge’s words and attitude are atrocious and disgusting. We absolutely should take this crime seriously and whether or not he might get into a “good college” is completely irrelevant.

Stop making idiots like her famous. Stop writing about her. Write an article about a female scientist, a female astronaut, etc....someone with something to actually contribute to society.

There’s a reason I don’t openly identify as a buddhist, and it’s mostly because most people in the US who openly identify as buddhists do it in order to seem impressive and cool to other people. Lots of people in my temple who test my patience.

Ehhh...Black woman here. With some exceptions, of course, current mainstream hip-hop is incredibly materialist and misogynistic, as is lots of pop music (mainstream hip-hop IS, in fact, pop music). I get that as a “privileged White woman” it’s not kosher to state publicly that you don’t like mainstream hip-hop but…

I don’t think it’s as simple as women turn inward and men turn outward. I’m a guy (hetero & cis) and when I’ve gotten low on myself, it’s always taken the form of beating myself up.

Bought our first home. Found a guy through some app that hooks you up with folks looking for gigs - movers, but also general handy men, contractors, etc. Pick out a guy with experience moving and positive reviews. Price felt a little high, but not super high. I figure you get what you pay for.

Wow love how quickly people read this frank discussion of how the economics of Hollywood disenfranchise women, and went; “Fuck her she said a mean thing about Faye Dunaway.”
