man, sometimes you forget how awesome america is when it’s working!

It’s wonderful but also sad that they probably feel they have to do this in order to break through walls that never should have been there in the first place.

If there’s a silver lining, this is it.

It’s really one of the most heartening bonds I have witnessed.

Speaking to the Post, El-Messidi said “This is really a human issue. But out of this horrible election cycle, something beautiful has come out of it and [Muslims and Jews have] bonded together to support each other and stand up to this hate. Politics can get in the way of our basic humanity; I hope this breaks through…

You know what? After listening to my parents say this...

The jokes on him, because barely anyone showed up to his party and I spent the day at the bookstore, which was like my favorite place as a child. My parents thought I’d be traumatized but I was more pissed off than anything else.

Right? And the dickhead told eeeeveryone. Plus, it really all came down to the fact that his mother hated my mother. Had nothing to do with me, she just wanted to get back at my mom for something so she figured the easiest way to do that was to go after me.

Sure they do. And I don’t think we were rich or rich rich. We were not rich, we were upper middle class. And then my dad died at barely 53, without a lot of savings and minimal life insurance due to cancer when he was younger. That really put it into perspective. My mom still works at 70 now, because she is worried…

Ugh, screw Joshua Winstead.

It caused me a ton of anxiety to hear that. I was always worrying about if we would have enough money for food, housing, etc.

Ugh, what an asshole! Fuck that kid.

I was in middle school, probably 6th grade, and a girl said something about me being rich. I tried to explain that were weren’t rich, but she said we were because we had horses. That was the first time I realized people thought we were rich.

When I was in the fifth grade and Joshua Winstead told everyone that his mother had made sure to invite everyone in our grade to his birthday except me because my family couldn’t possibly afford a good enough gift for her precious baby’s big day.

We are very secure and comfortable financially, and I am constantly telling my kids that we can’t afford things. It’s because they have no sense and constantly ask me to buy things! Just because we are comfortable doesn’t mean that we can afford everything we want.

Doesn’t really sound like a “money is strange” situation. Sounds more like a “you grew up quite rich, and around really rich people” situation.

3rd grade. Some snobby girl named Donna continuously told me her parents were rich and I was poor. They weren’t rich. But in the eyes of an 8-yr old materialistic girl, they had the new car, new clothes and could afford normal stuff. We were children of farm workers and had to struggle to survive. Ugh that little…

Thanks. He had already gone his own way so I wasn’t all that close. He had a great run hanging out with Andy Worhol in NY and being super gay at last -I didn’t find out about any of that for 20 more years. My biggest loss was not knowing him. Sounds like he was a blast...

This is exactly the kind of stuff Chris Brown would spout about when he was assaulted as a kid by his babysitter; trying to make it retroactively consensual so he could live with it. (Nobody on Jez had a lot of love for Chris Brown but the site was rightfully taken to task when they tried to downplay it.)

Just keep diggin’ that grave with your big fat mouth, Miles.
