Strong agree on all points. I’m a longtime lurker and there are some commenters whose perspectives I really miss. Watching some of the commenter drama go down in the last month or so has made the issues with the current system even more apparent to me than usual, and every time I see someone saying something about…

Yeah, unfortunately, there’s a history of it. And it makes me feel gross sometimes because I love jez and the community it offers. I’m not white and I’ve been pretty vocal about the issues that effect me, which are addiction and incarceration. It’s hard because I think a lot of commenters here are middle class, which…

I so wish wish the jez community was able to moderate ourselves. There’s a lot of commenters that I miss. And the history of banning of POC on here should be a black mark on this site forevermore.

I guess I meant that not much was published today, it felt like a handful of reposts and that a lot of the commenters I’m used to seeing aren’t around.

But why must you feel so shitty and hard?

Ha! That’s a good description.

I am 6 months pregnant. Why don’t I have any goddamn Thin Mints?

It’s like working out really hard. You leave knowing you’ve done good work and that you should, theoretically feel at least a sense of accomplishment, but mostly you feel like you’ve been hit by a garbage truck and are unsure if you’ll be able to lift your metaphorical arms you wash your hair in the shower.

Off to bed because I am still recovering & SNS is on the later side tonight.

I can’t tell if things have been loading weirdly for me, or if this place has turned into a ghost town. I feel like I missed some kind of rapture and it just adds to the wny winter loneliness, or maybe I’m just deluded and it’s all the same.

Therapy is the worst!

Dear therapy,

I’ve been listening to Oceans of Slumber quite a bit lately. I only “discovered” them a few months ago while on a YouTube downward spiral and completely fell in love with them. They just had a new album come out yesterday and it’s intense and beautiful and I love everything about it!

They’ve charged him, but no news outlet is fessing up his name. I wonder why? I don’t mind this guy being doxxed if I’m sure it’s the right klansman colonizer.

The law has always said if you lie on your immigration documents you can have your citizenship revoked but there was a Supreme Court case recently on this point. In Maslenjak v. US, the Supreme Court held (all 9 judges agreeing here) that the lie has to be material for it to allow for revocation of citizenship.…

And after they find that information they need to look into the cases where...black people were the victims of fire. Prayerfully he didn’t bring his racism to his job...but as we know most do.

As someone already stated this woukd have turned ou VERY different if EITHER parent had reacted no matter HOW many witnesses. Unless your me, they would have had to pry my hands from his neck. But to add insult to injury he wasn’t charged....smmfh. We always hear, when we do react, why not just call the police. THIS…

Perfect opportunity for a white person to prove their allied bona fides by knocking this human garbage bag to the ground.

Just another day in white america where black lives do not matter.
