Presumably, she used the money to pay her staff. Her other dumb behaviors notwithstanding, that is what the Act is for.

This is a common nonsensical white refrain. 

State Rep Leslie Herod and School Board Director At-Large Tay Anderson were instrumental in making this happen. Now Dir. Anderson has called on Dave Young to resign. It’ll be very interesting to see what happens.

Related maybe? Louisa May Alcott also wrote the Blood and Thunder tales, which look very critically at gender roles and expectations at the time, and read almost like revenge fantasies where the protagonist is not particularly fleshed out or likable, but causes all the more awful people to get their just desserts.…

This is very powerful. I followed your thread on Twitter and it broke my heart. As an Indian-American woman I’ve experienced so much of what you describe here, including being told I had a “chip on my shoulder” for asking for a raise to bridge a small part of the $40,000 salary gap between me and the white man who had…

I mean, she was 15, so the idea she was coerced is not a stretch...?

Shoot, thanks. I'll dismiss. 

Not exactly. I still think it was really weird she voiced the character in the first place. But this is the right move, as I stated.

Jenny Slate did a good job with Missy and played her respectfully. But this is the right move.

This is what racist, hyper-capitalistic societies reap. I was also in a similar position (not hounding book sellers, but trying to buy from predominantly black-owned bookstores). The books were either back-ordered, out of stock, or unavailable at all. Certainly discrimination is at the root of this: black-owned…

Bc it takes hundreds of years to teach white ppl to empathize with non- whites and it's only been 30 for Apu?

“You ever think of that?”

Now do Jeff Ross (i guess the "joke" is that CC will only have to remove roasts).

The idea that anyone would knowingly set up a Black woman (or any woc) with a racist is super fucked up and upsetting to me.

Ugh. Because white people insist on being congratulated for every incremental step towards self- awareness and have set the bar as low as it can go, good for them. 

Salty! I can’t remember which one went to jail (Khloe?) but tbqh I don’t think I would care too much in Kim’s shoes. I don’t think that a Kardashian jail sentence reveals any major injustices in the carceral system.

Ohio is trash, huh!

Parents who take their children to protest abortion at a medical health clinic should be charged with abuse. Special charges against those who take their young daughters.

This sentence confused me! I admit I’ve struggled with the law of double negatives on this very site. But that does that mean that there is a black actress he dated who is not his friend?
