You say that but Jesus Fucking Christ the number of times people at my old office came to me to ask me to look something up on Google because they couldn’t find it search after search, and I would find the information in 0.29 seconds... An astonishing number of people are really bad at asking the right questions.…

I agree that it takes no talent to “use Google.” Respectfully, though, I think it is a talent when I can make Google spit out the name of the book my teacher read to us in third grade or find Cole Haan boots that were discontinued six years ago for my husband. That’s Google-fu.
It’s been a less than stellar couple of months but finally something fabulous coming up... my puppy’s 4th Birthday is this week! I took for her an extra special spa bath experience today. I know she doesn’t know any different, but it makes me happy to make a big deal about it. She’s consistently been the brightest…
Sure, I bet you aren’t a bigot at all! I bet that’s why you felt a need to bring this shit up, unprompted, basically to tell trans folks to know their place.
I’m feeling a lot of things about this. There are so few American Indian writers that have his level of fame and influence. Instead of helping out others American Indian writers out, he started preying on them. It’s disappointing and disheartening to see he acted this way.
You’d have to be a real sick f*ck to think it’s even remotely appropriate to display a lynching in an elementary school.
Or at least put the names/descriptions in the order that the photos are in.
It looks like the smock your hairdresser puts you in before a color treatment.
Just stay away from “they’re jealous of you” and that line of thing. It’s not true (or very rarely true) and doesn’t help matters.
This is totally off subject and not Dirt Bag related at all but whatever.
A PAC that was formed to help candidates without much money get their name out there to jump start their campaign now only wants to support candidates that already have money. It’s not a complicated criticism.
I remember watching a show where a woman against LGBTQ couples adopting met two people who aged out the foster system. She asked them what they thought about being adopted by a LGBTQ couple. Both of them basically said they would have had no problem with it. They wanted to be adopted. It blow her mind to hear them say…
I don’t have titles on me right now, but I recommend looking into histories of specific tribes. Books on Dakota and Lakota tribes will discuss how women own(ed) the homes and supplies, many tribes are matrilineal or matrilocal where men may be the diplomatic leaders but women determined who those leaders were and…
Learning about how recent this institutionalized misogyny is in the communities (sometimes less that 60 years) and how the government purposefully dismantled gender social structures, even starving tribes of food, livestock, and supplies if women owned property or headed households, is absolutely devastating and…
I just desperately hope that prominent native authors aren’t going to be grilled about this. It’s a serious blow to the native lit community and it’s going to be really hard to process for many people who have been friends or fans. I’m Ojibwe and this news has broken many hearts. The saddest part to me is that many…
Buster Dog says ‘Welcome to the Animals in Bow Ties’ club.
I found a clearance rack while my wife was shopping at the pet store. So this happened.
I can’t think of a comparable example of a big political get-together that doesn’t involve a murderer’s row of conservatives. They’ve got kooks, conspiracy theorists, fascists, crypto-fascists, neo-fascists, Rear Admirals, queer Admirals, etc. and it’s treated as a normal thing that Republicans do. Trump spoke at a…
Laura, the girl who lost her friends when she came out as “conservative”, shows how the internet has really been instrumental in radicalizing people and bringing horrible people together.
