Ah I forgot women only want abortions because they’re lazy, addicted to meth, and are shit with money. /s

Oh, it’s not an excuse, it’s an accusation. No way she took any time from her busy schedule of pretending to work in order to do the actual work of writing a book—even if she only wrote 2/3 of it. Hell, I spent 5 years simply transcribing and editing a book that was entirely written by two other people. Also, I’m…
I do know some people who passionately do not want the monuments removed. Mostly, Architects, preservationists and old timers who just hate change. On the other hand my best friend is one of the most outspoken voices calling for removal of the monuments. That is a lot of dissonance as I decide where to stand.
Same. All my New Orleans friends are irritated that this is getting money spent on it when they have such failing infrastructure but they all unilaterally agree the statues should come down.
No, that’s one of the major points of contention down here. We’re still southern LA so there’s obviously SOME home-grown racist morons, but things at least appeared to be relatively tame (as far as these things go) until national attention started coming and “patriots” and “activists” started to take it upon…
“and found about 50 men—some with Confederate flags, others with black-and-white Southern Nationalist flags—patrolling the steps of the marble steps of the monument”
I think a lot of this is very relevant to the typically-functioning teen, and a very good and even-handed evaluation of the way the series fails its audience.
Ugh, fuck. As someone who’s struggled with depression and anxiety, I could not hate this show more. It’s every teenage fantasy of suicide: after I’m gone, everyone will realize how mean they were to me, I get to litigate every grievance, big and small (seriously one of her “reasons” was that her friend started dating…
My wife teaches high school, so it was important for her (and me) to watch. The biggest complaint she had with the show is how the high school allowed a “memorial” for Hannah to be displayed at her locker. That shit is an absolute ZERO, NO-GO around here (school admins / counselors don’t allow it at all as it tends to…
The sad truth, for someone seeking some sort of control in the way you describe, is that once you’re dead, you become part of other people’s stories about themselves. That girl/boy who killed themselves back in school. So sad. And then they talk about pranks they pulled or parties they went to.
While I absolutely believe in the importance of taking responsibility for the messages we send in storytelling, in the case of this particular show, its decidedly non-didactic approach was the very reason I enjoyed and appreciated it so much, the reason it resonated with me and felt genuinely meaningful. On the other…
I come from a family that is riddled with people who threaten to/succeed in killing themselves on a regular basis. I don’t have any personal experience with suicidal depression, so take this for what it’s worth, but I thought the fact that the 13 reasons were all other people and not “and finally, as #13, I have a…
It’s probably not the first time she’s done this. Disgusting excuse for an educator.
THAT IS AN AMAZING MOVIE AND I WATCHED WORSE MOVIES FOR MR HEATH LEDGER
Wait a minute, Black Hawk Down doesn’t qualify as a dumb movie. It’s freaking EPIC!
I watched Pearl Harbor for Josh Hartnett, not Affleck. I’ve watched it a few times.
Red Eye because of Cillian Murphy. He’s trapped so many women in bad movie hell!
This list is totally accurate - for precisely what it is. Example: the two Diana Ross songs that are on there are probably her least iconic songs (Endless Love and Upside Down), yet by dry stats calculated strictly on sales and chart-longevity statistics, there they are.
Numerous reporters spotted carts of Bud Light being rolled into the Capitol in preparation for a GOP House celebration.
