I think just forgetting about him is the best course. Just collectively forget his existence.

Hot take: All high school students should have to pass a civics/American government class before graduating, and this class should include instructions on how to make a FOIA request (along with each student actually making one.)

I’ll tackle that second question. To preface this, I am transgender and medically transitioning.

You know what’s ignorant? A non black person trying to school black people about race and passing. *my eyes have rolled to the back of my head*

That race “means” anything is a social construct. That my skin and hair and features are different from yours and can only get that way because of who my parents are is not. And no, plenty of white people are not perceived as Black. She is not Black because she has not a drop of African blood and is the child of two…

But it was kind of still about her. She seemed to think Grover not nursing was a comment on his “feelings” about her. Getting Grover to nurse didn’t seem to about her wanting to make sure he got the best nutrition possible but instead a victory for her and proof in her mind Grover didn’t really hate her. I don’t know.…

I was an OB nurse in the early 00's. In the trenches as well. I think this just helps perpetuate that old message...”If you breastfeed, everything else will be fine”...as well as, “If you can’t/don’t breastfeed, you’re not trying hard enough, you’re selfish,” etc.

I struggled when I had my first baby 23 years ago, in…

Except they made “growing up” and motherhood hinge solely upon successful breastfeeding. Wow.

Thought Lena would have been a little more about women making choices. Formula vs. breastmilk is a choice, and as long as the baby is getting fed, it really is okay. It doesn’t “make” anyone a parent or a more mature person.…

But that’s the thing: she’s not *actually* sorry. She really does believe that her parents made her who she is and takes no responsibility in how she turned out. Hannah is and will always be selfish and not self aware enough to do anything about it. She’d end up as a narcissistic parent and use Grover in the same way…

Yup. Also, she was a dick to her mom and didn’t even apologize. JUST SAY SORRY ARRRGHHH.

Is anyone else horrified at the idea of Hannah raising a brown boy? This kid is so screwed...

Yes, but part of the relationship we have with art is that it changes and we get new messages from it... not necessarily because the object itself has changed, but its surroundings change and the people who view it change, and those people are changed by their experiences such that they see it differently from one…

You should have seen the original draft, where the girl was offering the bull a Pepsi.

If you don’t show up you are still charged for the ticket, though (at least, that’s what happened to me when I missed a flight). So airlines just want to make twice the money of one seat, and I can’t summon up a whole lot of sympathy for that.

A lack of planning on United’s part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.

Well, the employee said, “I want that.” And United Airlines asked, “Are you a 10 year-old girl wearing leggings?” And when the employee said no, United decided to revoke the passenger’s ticket with extreme prejudice.

I feel like a series about Kathleen Hanna, her music and the riot grrrl movement would be way more interesting than putting this capitalist hipster on a pedestal.

Live action Lion King...Literally pointless. Disney wants to take their masterpieces—which were created and drawn by some of the most legendary animators and writers of all time—and ‘update’ them using paint by numbers creative control...

I can’t get over how Hannity keeps talking and interrupting as Koppel tries to explain. He’s ruder even as he tries to be gracious.

Let me try again.
