Yeah, I’m searching my conscience but it’s confused as hell. All I can take away is that  it’s all been done/said before, in teaspoonfuls.

And it’s already spreading on this thread and others. Apparently the “whole” video justifies their racism in some way. But I saw what I saw, no voiceover telling me what I should be seeing can change that. So I guess instead of spokespersons or apologies, it’s denying what our eyes tell us. 

They are rightly getting the public outcry and outrage they deserve. I’ve been following this on Twitter and wrote to both the school and the Covington Diocese. These kids didn’t just spontaneously become racists though. All those hats and t-shirts were likely purchased by their parents. I’d love to know how they’re…

I’m going because our union put together a group to support workers and labor. But this march is more than its tainted leaders, it did and could continue to inspire new leadership and more political engagement from marginalized groups... in an ideal world that’s what it would be. I’m there for the people, for the…

So does that mean that the other governments have convinced him to let trump show his whole ass on twitter for as long as it takes to destroy the U.S.? That’s how I read this. 

Thank you for your response! I really like how she challenges the ideas of abstinence, and the shame of being an “alcoholic” or “in recovery.” In one of her podcasts she has on a doctor who researches addiction and he also challenges these things and it just rang so true. I’ll get her new book. 

But people knowingly went to the park when it was unstaffed and trashed it. “Not that bad” could have been not at all trashed, but people did it anyway. This isn’t about the degree of filth, it’s about those who profess to care about our lands and our country who spit on it and trash it on the first chance they get.…

This was very helpful, thank you! 

This was so helpful to me, thank you. 

The “audit our beliefs” part is so true. It utterly stumps me when I meet SOOOO many people who do exactly what you say “sashay thoughtlessly through...” that must be privilege, it can’t all be ignorance.

I’d watch that. 

Anyone have any experience with This Naked Mind and alcohol control? I’m concerned with the amount of wine I drink (can easily kill a bottle a night) and heard about this book. I downloaded the podcast and have read the first chapter of the book, but looking for real life experiences from other Jezzies. Honestly, just…

Aw, congratulations. I’m glad it went fairly smoothly. 

Here’s the thing, and this may raise hackles but it’s what I feel reading this and the state of our nation over the last 3 years: she’s gonna believe what she believes. This is truly the microcosm of the United States right now. I will never watch, listen, or in any intentional way give viewership to Louis CK ever…

I just knew it was all curvy with a pronounced mushroom head. Hope for her sake he knows how to use it. 

Yeah, in addition to her racial ignorance, she’s culturally ignorant. A call, chant, handshake, ritual sounds or movements, etc. are usually obviously about belonging to a certain community. She’s probably not even being willfully dumb, is the sad part. 

Is it too much to feel that our leaders - past presidents, military, government, academic, whatever - should come out en masse to put a stop to this shit? The damage isn’t minor or able to be ignored nor beyond the scope of their past, present, or future responsibilities to our country. Clearly the GOP won’t do it,…

Did not see that ending coming. I thought Toad would make an appearance. 

Yeah, I’ve been hit up on text YEARS after briefly mingling with a guy (not really dating). I should change my number more.
