It depends on which white people. White people in urban Boston are going to have a very different culture from white people in rural Texas, of course. I’ll speak for myself - I’m a Midwesterner, I grew up in an area dominated by agricultural activities. I’m the farmer’s daughter and my best friend was the preacher’s…

Quarter given? You monumentally worthless fucking stain on humanity. People are hurting, people have died. But you want to talk shit because people didn’t vote the way you like?
Enlightened? What the hell are you going on about.
Sounds like a pretty dishonest interpretation of the comment.
Though some are managing to politicize it already and link it to the elections. The comments on NPR’s Facebook page’s article about the fires are all, “This is what you get when you deny climate change and vote for Trump.” Not the time and place, people. Let’s be human and show compassion for people regardless of…
The irony is, I moved here from a town of about 190,000 in Central California. There’s more to do, more culture, more amenities and more liberals (and hippies, LOL) here in Knoxville than there was in that very red county/town in California. People need to get out of their bubbles and stop stereotyping.
Does Jezebel still cover national news stories such as the fires that have destroyed hundreds of structures (businesses and homes) in Gatlinburg? It’s only the most visited national park and tourist location in the country. I’m pissed about how the national media is ignoring it, even when California middle-of-nowhere…
Prayer for the Dead, from “Serenity”
Eve has always been responsible for Adam’s sins.
Don’t think twice. Just realize that this is a battle that you and your boyfriend will have to face and that you need to find a sensible solution to the holidays. And that EVERYONE goes through this.
I’m a grown man and I’m in pain over this. I am also told to ignore it if it happens to me. I too feel anxiety when out in public alone, and sometimes even when with friends, though I feel safer when I have people with me.
Thank you for this thoughtful reply. Yes, I would absolutely accommodate a required piece of equipment for a student with certain needs. I have 20-30 students per *semester* who have specific accommodations, and all of them prefer to take advantage of the lecture outlines available online before class (so they can…
I already wrote a lengthy reply to Blueberry Jones addressing your questions.
Law School is also one of those scenarios I mention above where the professor probably just narrates what you’re supposed to “learn” and you’re expected to write it all down verbatim because it will show up on your exams or assignments. Most pedagogy scholars will argue that’s not a great way to learn, but that…
We’re also at a very interesting point in history where today’s college freshman was born in 1998. They were conceived and have lived their whole lives in the Internet Era. The feedback I get from students is that they feel RELIEVED to be “forced” to put electronics away for 50-75 minutes a few times a week. If gives…
Our campus has a system that puts an alert up on the screen of the class computer silently, and I have TAs in the class that have phones within reach for this situation. My personal opinion is that this is SAFER for students than a bunch getting an alert text and freaking out in a huge crowd (my classes have hundreds…
How does one take notes for a math, physics, or chemistry class with a computer? I’d need a notebook just so I wouldn’t have to figure out all those weird little symbols and supertext/subtexts.
Well, even if a man rapes a woman, it's not his fault. Blame his wife!!
Why do you find it so hard to press another button on your screen when you know it would make her feel good? Seems like an easy decision to me.
