And I presume the other one is Thurston Moore.  Kim Gordon being the powerhouse ex who wrote the autobiography.

Why would it be necessary to “win people over” to help in the fight that undeniably affects everyone? If there’s a fire in the kitchen do I have to win you over to help throw some water? Therein lies the problem. Perhaps if you look the other way it doesn’t affect you.

You guys are nothing if not predictable.

So did I, which makes me cringe a little at critiquing them for taking selfies with their signs or in the crowd. I think that we can all agree that we would prefer a white teen to post to social media from a women’s march than post about the Starbucks latte she just bought.

Grossman was a journalist with the Soviet army when the remains of Treblinka were discovered. For strong stomachs only, especially for the detailed…

I am honestly terrible at cultural definition. It’s also hard, since white people really aren’t homogeneous (not to imply that other races are either, the West Indies are a far cry from Nigeria, China is not Japan etc.). I suppose white American culture is basically the dominant culture in America. so however you…
