Let's agree on a few things here:

The more #CrimingWhileWhite stories you read, the more they start to sound like humblebrags than they do like addressing inequality.

I'd be OK with Swedish or Finnish overlords. Bring us free tuition, healthcare, 1 year maternity leaves, 30 paid vacation days etc.

That couldn't possible have been any more accidental than the line about "you can't have a Lemon party without old Dick!" was.

Madison is one of my former students! This makes my heart so happy to see this. I see lots of comments about how her parents must be doing the right thing; her Mom is a single parent, so it's a feminist AND urban education win!

I go to college in Cleveland where an innocent twelve year old boy was killed in cold blood by an officer today for daring to carry a BB gun. I'm crying as I type this. I'm so angry. I'm so angry and yet powerless and it's killing me.

Not for everyone no, but a just system would grow to accommodate. We are left wallowing in our desires lashing out at other citizens who ultimately have the same desires. We conflict with one another rather than spend our time organizing to take what we need from the government.

Omg so sorry you are confused. To clarify, this IS really stupid. But also, 95% of midwives are white. Extremely white private schools on the west side of LA have vaccination rates as low as South Sudan. I was not "going for" "first-world." I meant white.

Dear Lord Jebus, magic sky friend son of God. Please oh please let Elizabeth Warren win the democratic primary and not that pants besuited, neocon in progressive costume, Hillary. Amen.

This new season of Twin Peaks is really freaking me out.

sorry McDonald's, I'm too busy:

As a fat woman, I cannot get behind this term, because it always seems so porn specific. Any man who calls me a BBW makes me feel immediately fetishized, and it's not good, even if it does mean that they totes want to bone me...because I just feel like a mere body there to fulfill the things they've fantasized about.

The summer before my last year of college, I lived in a treehouse on a friend's property on a large island. Set back in the woods a bit, it was pretty secluded. I loved it. It was quiet and I could do pretty much whatever I wanted which usually involved an entire six pack of PBR, nudity, a pellet gun and Grace Slick…

I'm going to share!

I've briefly mentioned my house on GT before, but here's the whole story! I've lived in my current house for several years, and have always felt the "not quite alone" sensation the whole time I've been here, pretty much from day one. I remember the very first night I spent in the house, I was sitting at my…

Ok, I'm gray, so perhaps nobody will see this, but I hope a few people do, because it's a true story and just about the scariest thing that has ever happened to me.

Back in 2007, I worked as "student security" at a college in rural Washington State. Basically, I walked around the campus with a partner (or drove the department golf cart if we were lucky) and made sure exterior doors were locked on all campus buildings. One rainy Saturday night in April, my partner and I were…

OMG can you and your boyfriend come and post on Jezebel's Halloween ghost story thread??? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

The joke is not actually offensive for all the reasons mentioned here, but it seems tonally incongruous for the Simpsons, which I guess is the issue with the whole crossover. Family Guy is occasionally funny, but the tone of the humor is completely different. Family Guy is irreverent and offensive. The Simpsons is…
