I grew up with two households. One had no TV, a fridge full of ingredients rather than food and plain Cheerios. The other had cable, gushers and a cupboard stuffed with every kind of sugary cereal you could ever want. When I spent J-term of my freshman year (in what I now know was a cloud of anxiety) on the couch at…

The most upper-crust of meals is only to be eaten with utensils, not your hands. That’s why there are weird guides on how to peel an orange with a fork and knife.

Let’s consider the situation where the rule was in place that you must be a student or faculty to be on campus but there was no security to enforce the rule. Would anyone in this situation have come to any harm? No, everyone would have eaten and then gone home to bed.

Well since only one team wins it all every year I’m pretty sure that you could frame every single possible decision as a bad one since if every team did the exact same thing 31/32 would still have it not work out for them.

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.
