Different strokes. I am delighted by the bralette trend (even though I can’t partake, either) because I remember what it was like to have tiny tits that barely registered as existing at all. When I was an adolescent, the way to make that shit “sexy” was to slap 4" of padding on it and pretend like there were boobs…

I don’t think there’s much evidence that child murderers/attempted murderers go on to commit serious crimes as adults.

Juliet Hulme turned her murderous thoughts/impulses to writing mystery novels.

I’d argue that she ‘earned’ the most vs. was the most highly ‘paid.’ By that distinction I mean that studios didn’t pay her that much upfront- she made it on the backend because the movies made a lot of money. It’s important because it means they aren’t willing to pay her (or others) that much on salary, it’s mostly…

Also remember that Seth Meyers gives platforms to minorities. He has a diverse writers room and lets them get on camera regularly to do their thing. He is increasing the visibility and amplifying the voices of the people he is an ally of.

Couldn’t you technically get by just fine without any one single employee for 2-3 weeks? If you relied on every and any singular person to keep an entire company running, and a two week hiatus would halt operations . . . wtf kind of company are you running?

Exactly. Author totally missed the ‘compassion for a friend’ option. Still have to let people make their own mistakes and stay out of it, but yeah, the reason people feel compelled to help another person in a bad situation is called compassion.

As a child of immigrants who came here without knowing English, and to put themselves through graduate school with three kids inadvertently displaced by a civil war, I can most certainly say FUCK YOU to this entire administration.

Yeah but it’s the “well I don’t see them being mistreated now = never mistreated” mindset.

As much as people hate PETA, these places that let you take pictures with tigers are INCREDIBLY horrible. Many claim to be rescued, but breed their animals to use them for revenue. It’s really really sad and gross and disrespectful to these animals.

I have spent a good deal of time working in remote (mostly northern) First Nations communities, and I learned to appreciate the “cultural storage capacity” that language provides. One example was when someone explained to me that the word people said as I was leaving (which I took to be them saying ‘goodbye’ to me),…

My reservation is working hard to create more Menominee language teachers. It’s a struggle to save the language and culture.

Maxine is 78. She has zero fucks left to give and she is not putting up with this shit.

To start, “a transgender person” not a transgender.

ABC is home to Black-ish and Fresh Off the Boat, it’s one of the better networks for diverse comedy.

And...

I think the thing that’s different about the Skimm, for better or worse, is that it takes that fluffy tone and applies it to serious news articles. When Cosmo covers, say, rape on campus, it doesn’t use the same tone as it does for the best bikini for the season.

Where I have lived, the companies own the medallion and just hire drivers.

Are you on a first name basis with your city’s cabdrivers? Because I don’t see a difference between one set of strangers and another.

We were always in the era of renting rides and homes from strangers. They just used to be called “cab drivers” and “landlords” and, in some cases, “Norman Bates.” Hell, hitchhiking used to be common. My mom did it all the time. Then a couple of high-profile cases of men murdering teenage girls who were hitchhiking…
