What? WHAT?!? Texas, get your shit together!

Easy. A bunch of people with power over your career tell you that you need to look a certain way to succeed for literally your entire life. I bet you that she has never looked in the mirror and thought, “I look great today.”

I’m willing to give Taylor the snakes if it becomes socially acceptable for everyone to have coats of arms and house seals and mottos and freely carry swords.

Unfortunately, telling someone to kill themselves via poster is not likely to count as inciting violence, and I’m pretty sure most hate speech is protected speech in the US. That’s not to say this poster isn’t disgusting; we do way too much to protect hate speech in this country. And until laws are passed to…

Until I was like eight, I thought I had a cousin I had never met named Sean (“seen”) in addition to the one I had met named “Shaun”. It wasn’t until I was writing my own thank you notes one Christmas and my mom saw I had addressed the card to “[Cousin], Sean, Shaun, [Cousin], and [Cousin]” that I learned the truth.

And it’s like, no we’re not harpies for going off on people for “you should smile” comments. I know the difference between a well-meaning friend/acquaintance trying to cheer me up vs. an absolute creep.

When I had my wisdom teeth out, my oxycodone script had two or three refills. I was 14. I think I took a grand total of four pills (two days) before switching to an otc pain reliever, and the rest of the bottle sat in a cabinet for years. I’m glad my mom’s a nurse, because I don’t want to know what might have happened…

Adderall would never be legally available online. It’s Schedule II, so it’s subject to extra rules. Prescriptions can’t have refills, so you can’t even get them from your health insurance’s mail-order discount pharmacy thing. You also can’t fill a prescription unless a certain number of days have passed since you last…

Oh my God, did you just say that the Spanish aren’t white? Have you ever actually met a Spaniard? Unless you’re defining “white” to mean “people who can’t dance” Spanish culture is white culture, and historically, the Spanish are “more white” than the Irish OR the Italians.

This is the second time in two days you have mentioned sugar on grits, and now I really, really need to know two things: a, who the fuck puts sugar on grits? and b, is putting cheese on grits also a terrible sin for which I must atone?

The string of responses you’ve gotten of people saying no one helped them in various situations made me realize how lucky I was that when some drunk grad student pinned me to a wall at the first house party I ever went to freshman year of uni, another guy just ripped him off me and threw him out of the house.

Apropos of nothing, I’m so pissed at these neo-Nazis co-opting even more Nordic symbols because now I have to re-do half of my Viking-era garb to get the now-racist symbols off. Assholes.

Because that’s how they got rich: never spending their own money.

This is what our middle school teacher had us do for the partial eclipse we had back in the 90s.

They’re celebrating the big poofy dresses and mint juleps and fancy mansions (and probably also the “when men were men” crap), conveniently ignoring the fact that their own family members were in all likelihood far too poor for any of that.

That rally was just as much about that damn statue as #GamerGate was about ethics in gaming journalism.

They could even do it under the guise of “immortalizing” these statues as artificial reefs

I gotchu fam!

Yeah, I’m still pissed about that anti-anti-fracking ban. Voting for that was the most hassle I have ever dealt with in trying to vote, and then the corporations just pay off the state legislature to have their way after the fact.

I think the nature of these comments are more a fault of the sort of folk who read an article title and not the whole article (decide what they’re going to say before they finish reading), but I absolutely concede the point that mentioning this is a book review in the article title (or that the book in question is…
