This is one of the most beautiful sentences I’ve ever read and I’m weeping over it.

Just realized that I was trying to be J. Lo in middle school with my white spaghetti strap tops and huge silver hoops.

If I was going to dress up as, say, Lindsay Lohan for Halloween it would not be necessary for me to lighten my skin to be as pale as she is to give a proper costume portrayal of her. Cosplay is just that: costumes, and does not require a faithful portrayal of every single characteristic to get the point across.…

That distinction reminds me of people saying they like the Affordable Care Act but not Obamacare.

So I def recognize her all the time and am super into her weirdo fashions but realized that I didn’t remember how she got famous in the first place. I did a little jez/imdb/tidal search on her and am not familiar with any of her work so...cool.

Part of what makes mass worth it for me is to join with others in prayer. When I go into a church that I know is hundreds of years old, and I kneel in the same place that I know thousands or millions of people have kneeled and prayed, I can feel that my prayers join with theirs, that we worship together even if not at…

Does it irk anyone else the way Melania and Ivanka hold a mic? They gently hold it just with the ends of their fingers and I think it’s to try to look feminine but reminds me of a teenage girl giving an uncomfortable HJ.

I bet they did and that’s why he said no to showing his ID. They were enforcing the rules but not in a just or equitable way and he was tired of it.

Police officers need to understand why they have a job. It’s not to just arbitrarily enforce the rules for the sake of the rules, it’s to provide safety. Say the kid wasn’t a student, he looks like a student, he’s quietly eating and chatting and not disturbing anyone; he may be technically breaking the rules but is…

Sure, but he wasn’t getting daily death threats for it.

In regards to children who come across the border unaccompanied:

It’s not like he’s playing against children. They’re professional athletes and still provide legitimate competition against a man who’s coming into his prime. 

That little girl’s tears must have been a magical elixir

I do know that the somali muslim community in Mpls-St Paul was targeted by some psychos with misinformation about the MMR vaccine a few years ago and their vaccination rates dropped through the floor. I imagine that insular communities are easier to hit with false facts.

All of this is so blatantly sexist and xenophobic. Keith Ellison was our rep for a long time and while there were sometimes attacks for his being muslim, it was far from constant. As soon as a woman with an accent is muslim everyone’s swarming her with their hate.

J. Balvin’s jacket looks like some sheets I had as a child.

I love gel pens! I do find that my handwriting with a good pen is a blend of print and cursive because of that.

I hope they bring their most capitalist BS against her so that she has every reason to embarrass them as the evil fucks they are.

So everyone who has to deal with an officer is just supposed to put out their wrists and ask politely to be arrested?
