And THANK YOU for showing up on this thread (I wish you had been the 3rd comment though - get on that jeez!). I think the thing that bothers me most about the white feminist's burden is the assumption that no members of this culture are already working against issues that they experience as harmful. The idea that…

Wait, seriously? I think you're being facetious, but as a northerner, your criticism of the South's "racist/sexist traditions" actually is obtuse, ignorant, self-aggrandizing and super offensive. Unless you've lived in the South and really experienced these "traditions" and understood the people who fight against them…

Ha YES! Public health school, actually. Thank you for the suggestions - I have heard that Carrboro is where most grad students live anyway, so your recommendations are welcome.

Moving to Chapel Hill or Atlanta next year - if ya got a case to make for either, share it! If you lived in one and just hated it for a reason that is really specific to you, I am certainly sorry for your troubles but no need to share it as I won't put ya in my con list :). I've lived in Texas and Louisiana for a…

It was significantly cheaper for me to go to a private insurance consultant (seriously) than any of the exchange options for me in my state due to my part-time job. She helped me understand it because in the past I would just get overwhelmed and say, "Uh THAT one!" It was cheaper and made more sense geographically for…

You're right! School dances are one of those stupid "traditions" that adults love in retrospect but that were shitty then, are shitty now, and are actually probably just as shitty in retrospect. They're even shitty in these '80's movies!

This bracket isn't about just doing coke. Do winning NCAA basketball teams just do basketball? This tournament ifs about enduring legacy, visionary leadership, perseverance, reputation, outright quality and ability, and team spirit/support. Coke will definitely make it to the finals. Mark it now.

My favorite Beyonce

I WANT HER JACKET IN THE BEGINNING.

You're right; it is actually the worst combination of sugar, preservatives, and booze. Their business model couldn't be more perfect: instant hangover that you can only get rid of via lobotomy or drinking more Four Loko!

Coke will easily take drugs to the final, but red wine and vodka...that's completely a toss up!

Thanks for clarifying :)

Too many tears

In the middle of a presidential debate. I told my dad today that this show is like Gotham City - all the crazy shit in the world concentrated in one place.

David and Abby are the only couple with chemistry so, much as I love James, I am okay saying goodbye to his beautiful energy and face.

I think it's also super obvious that they find her brand of sexuality threatening because she's Black. I know I'm taking this to the cynical edge, but I think when O'Reilly says she's a bad role model, he means for white girls.

Wait, gay people too scared to go out and find sex > closeted bigots watching porn? I totally disagree on which is more depressing but maybe you can clarify why you think the former is less depressing?

Ah, good analysis!
