I had a high school friend who moved here from Bangladesh when he was two years old. He had no memory of his birth country, and his parents told him all his life that they were legal immigrants. He was 17 when ICE raided his house and arrested his father, who it turns out had overstayed his visa years prior. My friend

To all you haters saying she wears this look too often, I say - If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

To the first person: he made that statement about feminism because he wanted to fuck you. End stop. Don’t let that one single sentence make you stick around in a bad, bad, bad relationship when he’s saying many more sentences that are showing who he really is. Anyone who turns to belittling you is not worthy. It’s

Now I have to go dig up the photo of the assholes wearing  backpacks, while standing right in front of the sign telling them to take the damn backpacks off. I’m short, so I get hit in the head often with backpacks.

Weren’t we done with The Fat Jew? I thought he lost a book deal for stealing other people’s jokes and passing them off as his own or something? Anyway, wine. Yes.

I just finally saw a backpack PSA yesterday and I am thrilled and will loudly point at it when some asshole is smacking me in the face with his completely unnecessary Herschels bag.

Starred for treating contentless article as including content and discussing it thoughtfully.

Greek is criminally underrated as teen trash. It should be celebrated for the fun, comforting, dumb romp it is.

Are rumors swirling in the toilet, where you get your information?

This is what I think. People condescend out of jealousy, pettiness, or their own character defects. It really has nothing to do with you or your beautiful appearance. So, enjoy it. Seriously.

This happens to me. 5'2", oily skin, round face. I look 22? 24? I’m 34. People scrutinizing me and telling me how old I look and how grateful I should be — and watching them struggle with the realization that I’m older than they thought, and ugh, they might actually have to start giving what I say some credulity, ew —

Him: make me a sandwich!

That’s correct, if you dont have a PHd and you are a woman, you can’t order a sandwich.

Okay, let’s be clear that she certainly should have taken the gloves off when she started talking to people and posing for photos after handing out food, but did you guys really only pull the images of her wearing gloves while she was handing out food and while they were eating (which mean she’d probably JUST been

On what possible metric are Asian people oppressed? Asian people have higher average incomes, higher levels of education, lower rates of incarceration, better access to healthcare, and fewer instances of police violence then WHITE PEOPLE. Asian people literally outperform WHITE PEOPLE on ALL the metrics.

I think you’re missing the point. The point isn’t that Kumail ended up with a white person. The point is that any love interest of his that also happens to brown is portrayed as a one-dimensional cartoon.

Men can fight their own battles, esp since it was men who set this shit up in the first place.

Thank you for specifically calling out Gladwell and Friedman. I swear, both those guys start with a catchy book title, then draft a thesis statement that roughly matches the title, then spend two years flying around the world conducting “research” in which all they do is meet with other “thought leaders” and quote

Are you guys competing for who has the fluffiest story today or something?

I grew up in Argentina. The part that many people doesn’t know is that in the south west of Argentina, by the Andes Mountains, near the town of Bariloche there is a huge German & Swiss heritage. Many homes and entire towns were built in the Alpine style (even today) and when they are set on the background of the
