Michelle Dauber is way out of bounds. Persky followed the sentencing recommendation he was given by the (female) parole officer. Dauber is simply paving the way for judges to not follow protocol and impose long sentences. This, by the way, was the same sort of thing that gave California its draconian three-strikes…

Yep—it’s as arrogant as all get out. My basic rule in life—call people what they want to be called.

No, the poster’s showing respect for the language and the people who speak it. “Latinx” is disrespectful—telling other people how they should refer to themselves because of what *you* think is appropriate, regardless of how a gendered language functions.

Octavia Butler’s Kindred—yep, it’s SF/time travel, but that makes it one of the best books I know on getting across why-didn’t-they-just-leave. Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad also touches on that.

Sure it would—you just don’t hang out in pilot forums. No one’s saying that she didn’t perform admirably—just a question of how admirably.

And, yes, I’m a woman. There’s enough sexism and misogyny around that you don’t need to invent it.

Ummm, yeah, actually it kind of is. You really are looking for ways to blame the victim and it’s repulsive.

Because there’s no evidence that they were.

Here’s another idea for you—mentally ill woman had a history of making poor choices. Stress from the results of those poor choices made her act out and murder two children.

Occam’s razor. Stop looking for a way to blame the parents.

When you can’t afford it, yes.

You know, that’s just an asinine comment. Yes, we should see two people’s whose children were slaughtered in a sympathetic light. Trying to create a scenario (for which there’s no evidence) that they were abusive employers is just warped.

Her nose job looks like it was limited—tip definition, the rest left alone, since her nose wasn’t big in the first place. It means it’s actually more natural looking—i.e. wider and less-defined.

Not sure why she bothered frankly other than that Hollywood makes people a bit bonkers.

This recipe was published way before 2003. Laurie Colwin includes it in one of her Home Cooking books back in the late 80s, early 90s and she got it from somewhere else, though it’s Katharine Hepburn’s brownies—that part’s consistent.

I think losing a child is so devastating that it’s hard to come out on point and go after the NRA, the grief is just too deep. These kids lost friends, but they didn’t lose family, so they have their support systems intact *and* they have the fierce anger about having been victimized by a shooter. Doesn’t hurt that…

Yep, not what anyone wants to hear, but it’s true. The single-focus on the NRA is a plus, not a minus—that’s why it’s been as effective as it has been.

And while a focus on gun control won’t fix racism, it has the potential to save lives of all skin tones.

One of the kids still in the hospital and hailed as a hero because he held the door for people is biracial.

And “latinx” is a bad idea—it’s not how Spanish works—SJW Tumblr needs to drop it—it’s a gendered language, so “Latinos” is fine and inclusive. Let’s not tell other people what to call themselves.

The First Amendment doesn’t apply here—all it does is keep the government from limiting speech. Private companies aren’t obligated to carry an app for the NRA.

Oh sweetie, you’re just a pawn for gun makers—who go out of their way to tell you how big, bad and scary the world is so you’ll buy more guns than you could need for legal reasons.

But, thing is, there aren’t really that many of you—there are a lot more of us who support sensible gun reform.

By the way, First Amendment…

Drop the “Latinx”—it’s not appreciated by Latinos.

Where are you *really* from? The funny thing, to me, is that it’s obvious that Mirai is from SoCal—she totally talks like a Valley Girl.

What does Quentin Tarantino have to do with The Shape of Water?

Wow, well, no one will see this, but this is a really distorted take on early feminism.

So, Anthony didn’t oppose black men getting the vote, she opposed women not getting suffrage as well. Because feminism arose from the abolitionist movement. She and Stanton were both angry that women were iced out of the 14th…
