in an ironic turn of events, the police union is now demanding an “independent prosecutor”
The second I saw this I thought ‘Sasha.’ My little sister and I have the exact same dynamic.
omg eels...do you remember me? We worked together at a summer camp back in high school. I heard you ate a watermelon all by yourself!! Let’s hook up....stat!!
I have never been afraid of police. I’m a black woman from the Midwest. But I’m seriously afraid of them now. On related note, my 11 year old nephew learned that he was moving (just from the Midwest to the South but initially the though maybe they’d be moving out of the country) and his response to my sister was “I’m…
After reading so much bad journalism and shit reporting; Diana, this is the best piece of journalism I have read in a while. Good on you!
This is me, everyday. I think I’m reaching some “Stand and Deliver”, next-level teaching moment. And my kids are all packed up, standing at the door, waiting for the bell to ring. God. It’s lunch time. Can we go?
I love the fact that:
I once ate a whole watermelon at a summer camp I worked for in high school. It was a boredom thing, mostly. I think I was also trying to impress a female counselor (who wasn’t present, but I hoped would hear about the event), which gave me the required motivation to work through that fucking rind. The rind tastes bad,…
Should we talk about that pig eating his watermelon on wall-to-wall carpeting in somebody’s home? Also, I hate the hippos’ handler.
You’re unfortunatley very naive.
No fucking way she’s getting even a million.
She ain’t lost, she’s getting fucking paid to be an obnoxious POC GOP Media rep. I’m betting a 5-10 million annual stipend from the Koch/Fox war chest.
Stacey Dash should know that life is unfair. Instead of becoming a notable, respectable actress, she became a Fox News contributer who most likely doesn’t make as much money as their male contributers OR their white female contributers (because we know when it comes to the wage gap, white women on average make more…
I wore boy clothes in high school because I felt miserable in girl clothes. I was a size 16 and 5’ tall, so I was a plus size, and shopping for a plus size girl is a HORRIBLE experience (to me, anyway). Shopping in the dude’s section was easier, and the shorts all fit. Giant t-shirts, big shorts, goth makeup.. I guess…
I remember a really old episode of Whose Line where someone mistakenly called Africa a country, and the rest of the show they basically just made fun of him for making that mistake.
I had an African Politics class my senior year of college and the first thing our professor told us was that if any of us ever referred to Africa the continent as a country or any country in Africa as a continent, he would automatically fail us. This should be a rule in life too.
I teach high school and I can vouch for one thing: this new batch of kids are fucking awesome about a lot of things. They can be crappy towards each other sometimes, oblivious and callous at other times, but all in all, I would have had a MUCH better high school experience with this generation of kids than the ones I…
When I first transitioned physically and went to the DMV with all my paperwork in hand (proof of gender reassignment surgery, new birth certificate, social security, court ordered name change etc) the DMV woman tried to give me a hard time too. Thankfully another employee saw what was going on and took over for her…
Get her a model T. If someone wants to borrow it, they'll need to hand-crank to start.
