Do you burn down pizza shops because they offer Hawaiian pizza? (about as Italian or Hawaiian as I am) Do you rail against fortune cookies (as authentically Chinese as pizza is)? Do fusion restaurants make you furious? Does Spaghetti Bolognese (100% not from Bologna) make you throw stuff through windows? Do “California…

Not really-he was talking about it with the clear distinction that he not only no longer thinks that way, but he was disgusted with himself for having those thoughts at all. 

So I think what’s being lost in this, and I’m not playing devil’s advocate here, is that this admission isn’t so much about race as it is the otherizing of assault perpetrators in an attempt to reinforce his own understanding of his identity. Liam wants to be a good person, and in order to maintain that goodness he…

Also, I think a lot of women probably associate these dresses more with 70s fashion than they do with Little House. Like, these dresses look nothing like ‘authentic’ prairie dresses, but they definitely look a lot more like the 70s interpretation of prairie dresses/Gunne Sax dresses. 

This Native girl loves prairie dresses. Always has, always will. Got married in a Gunne Sax prairie dress. Wore one for my 8th grade class photo.

Exactly. The great lie is that we need to be protected from the perspectives of other ages, or to judge them outright, rather than engage with them and try to understand what they can tell us about the human condition. It’s true that a great deal of what’s in that book no longer squares with our collective morality,…

In June 2018, the American Library Association voted to remove Wilder’s name from a major children’s book award, citing racist portrayals of Native people and African Americans.

I feel like babywearing has nothing to do with this-I babywear because my baby screams if I put him down and its useful to you know, feel like a person and have 2 hands and eat. I don’t think many people are babywearing to feel like some kind of hipster Vogue ideal of a settler/housewife

So wearing prairie dresses is racist. Wearing styles with an urban/black/latina influence is racist. Wearing cheap clothes sewn by some Thai woman making $0.25 a day is definitely racist. (I actually agree with that last one.)

This! Now the clothing style people wore when they were conquering a country is warped with racism and weft with subservience? Better tell that to all those people attending renaissance fairs and Pennsic-type events. All those medieval people, vikings, knights... they were all out indenturing slaves, conquering lands,…

No. You’re a racist because ruffles.

No dummie, youre just not smart enough to understand big ideas like these college girl bloggers.

I’m not loving this particular dress but I’m happy to see any trend that I can wear a bra with!

You guys should consider stepping out of your echo chamber a couple of times a decade to calibrate some of this stuff with, like, actual grown-up society. I’m a lefty/progressive/ally type dude but this IF YOU WEAR THIS POPULAR DRESS STYLE YOU LITERALLY COMMITTED THE MOUNTAIN MEADOWS MASSACRE is not grounded in reason…

They’re dressing like their own great-great-grandmothers, in a claim, conscious or not, to a racialized and gendered history.

I don’t know why I would know that. English isn’t my first language, and this seems highly cultural. I always took “later in life” to mean anything later than average.

Snuggling and fucking are excellent activities entirely compatible with feminism.

This is just Qatar Airways rolling out their new slogan - “I don’t need U”

These massacres don’t fit into the mass shooting category as you defined at the beginning of the article. These massacres had very definite targets. The “mass shootings” we’re talking about don’t have clearly defined targets and purposes.

You know what? I’m perfectly fine with the fact that people who have been convicted of neglect can’t get jobs caring for children and the elderly.
