Right? I thought it was weird enough that the “Equality State” would be the one where the most famous thing that’s happened there in my lifetime was the brutal murder of a gay kid, but after reading those statements I’m realizing exactly how low the bar is for Wyoming.

How much has she changed? She has consistently said how much she has been inspired by her trips to Australia. In 2013, she wrote “To me, Aborigine Australians are the most natural people. They don’t live in the past or the future, but in the present. They have a story and meaning for everything.” That’s clearly well…

Yeah I’m Australian and we did history on all of that stuff and this reads so much like those first Europeans writing back to England. They always went on about how “weird” and “other” these people were and it's like? That's exactly what her little diary excerpt reads like. Which should really tell everyone something.

THESE PEOPLE LOOK LIKE...PEOPLE!!!! WE’VE BEEN MISLED!

Well, if they don't look like her or sound like her or act like her, they must not be human beings then.

THEY LOOK LIKE DINOSAURS!!!

These people are never actually sorry. She disavows the statement, but does not acknowledge that it was racist and really never apologized. That says a lot.

The reason is almost certainly staffing. Any time jail inmates are moved from one area of the jail to another (such as between the showers and the holding area) they need an escort by multiple officers. That can be a logistical hassle for smaller jails, so they may just decide to solve the problem by skipping showers.

nope. He looks too intense; as in that "see I'm trying to look intense" way. But really they fold like a little, bitty baby if their pot isn't delivered on time or Mom washed the wrong jeans.

Right? I’m 34 and I’m like, nope. This kid looks like he’s in high school. I imagine he smells like Axe body spray, hair gel, and weed. Or, like, an Abercrombie & Fitch, Red Bull, and the Febreeze his mother sprays around his bedroom. Nope.

I’m sure he’ll be carefully groomed for a future in politics if he chooses. Although this photo set won’t help him, if you want to show off your body you’ve got to make the poses look natural like JFK used to. Like you’re just you know hanging out on the beach, on a boat or riding a horse shirtless through a mist.

WOOF.

I hate hate hate it when journalists use wiggly adverbs like: purportedly, reportedly, or allegedly.

Actually Othello the character could likely have been anywhere from MiddleEastern to Black as the Moores ( more accurately the people who came to be known as the Moores) where initially from the MiddleEast but conquered the North African territory that became their power base.

Why wouldn’t black men be able to play Hamlet? I get that Othello is pretty specifically black, but virtually every other character except maybe Shylock in the Shakespeare canon is ethnicity-free, and new interpretations playing with gender and race are WAY more interesting because of it.

One time my boyfriend noticed that I had a hair stuck to my face. When he went to pull it off my entire cheek drew toward him like he had hooked a fish. When it finally released from its pore it had to have been four inches long. I look at myself every day, how did I not once see that growing!

The commonality of denying girls an education over clothing doesn’t make it any less wrong.

All they had to say was “we appreciate you taking the time to address this matter. Our current fall line is closed, but we will address our need to expand the costume choices for girls in the near future. Thanks for being a customer.” The end. Why are people so bad at public relations?
