are you under the impression this is not a thing that happens in america

because if so, holy lol, do I have bad news for you about your local homeless population

only difference is that here, the doctors aren’t allowed to give them anything to reduce the chances they’ll be coming back to the emergency room, costing you…

Oh boy yes. It’s so infuriating being complimented on your English when you have never spoken another language. When I was a child I was put into ESL at my elementary school. They wouldn’t take me out until my white father came down to talk to the administration.

I loved this. Especially being a dark skinned black woman. I know I still have issues from childhood, and I thought I had gotten over them like other people have said but my preferences and things I do directly correlate to my skin tone and how I feel about myself.

I feel you. I’m biracial (Black/White), but I identify as Black and what Megan Markle said rang so true for me. I recognize that as a light-skinned woman, I am a beneficiary of colorism in the Black community, but it doesn’t feel like any sort of a benefit—I feel fetishized, like I’m supposed to be beautiful in spite…

As a light skinned POC, I can attest to much of what is shared.

I can’t decide if that is better or worse that the equally repellent #GIRLBOSS.

SHE-EO... really?









... really?

Honestly, this was neither terrifying nor surprising. I feel relatively certain that they are counting on just this scenario. Patriot Act Redux.

Gilead here we come!

700 years ago? Are you sure?

What the actual fuck?!?

This headline/framing is a depressing example of how all of us, even those that hate trump, have internalized his divisive, with-us-or-against-us rhetoric that nonsensically twists every story into a battle. And, like trump, it is selfish, shortsighted, and incredibly damaging - because it’s not only about whatever…

Yeah, I’m disappointed too. It’s not a zero-sum game. We can (and should) be glad that Eichenwald is seeing justice for the assault perpetrated against him AND also want the Gamergate asshole meninists who perpetrate online assaults against women to receive the same justice.

This was a gross headline.

Not a fan of this headline. Yeah, the FBI needs to step up their game on threats made against women online, but that doesn’t mean this investigation happening wasn’t important precedent. Someone found a new way to harm someone through the internet, in a way people hadn’t really been considering before. Want to cause…

This headline is so misleading and it’s so, so shameful of you to frame the situation like this. The GIF caused him a seizure. He’s epileptic. Yes, that is assault when you do something with the intent of hurting someone else, whether it’s just a GIF. That troll put him in danger knowingly. Epileptic seizures are…

The problem with very dumb people is they assume everyone around them is as dumb as they are, if not dumber. The irony of intelligent people who scratched and scraped their whole careers to reach the top of their game now being sent Fox News clips to celebrate easily-debunkable lies...I can only imagine how…

They are also discovering that there is a reason there are 15 different under secretaries, assistants, experts on certain countries, policy wonks, ect that are supposed to be there helping out. Maintaining U.S. diplomatic relations isn’t a one man job, even for someone who (unlike Rex) has actually done work requiring…

I have to get off a shitty overnight commercial flight and be functional in a second language for a meeting at 8 am and this fucking clown can’t even do dinner? Give me a fucking break.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for defending Director-level and CEO-level positions in most companies - they’re often damned hard 70 hour+ weeks and essentially 24/7 on-call, at a level that is beyond the vast bulk of people.
