She’s on her way to the Iowa State Fair, so $7 per cup lemonade may well be in her future.

Cool, thanks. Congo Square deserves credit. 

Understood, but I consider that a slight to Congo Square. Perhaps they should rephrase it. 

Dit’s the first time in True West’s 37-year history that its two leading roles aren’t being performed by white men.

Sure feels great to be an American this week. Boy howdy.

If they can co-opt the “ok,” sign. We can use Betty.

This is fucking hilarious and thanks for explaining it, because I was still at the figuring-out stage of saying her name out loud and trying to come up with anagrams.

Did you have a point?

This this this x 1000.

Here’s to hoping this turns into a massive protest of Trump and his entire presidency and the rhetoric he’s been expounding upon for the last 3 years.

The idea that people should conform to a singular way of dress in order to be ‘respected’ or ‘respectable’ is honestly fucked. People should dress in the way they feel comfortable and you should respect their decisions in that reguard because honestly its non of your god damn business. You say in your example of a…

Nah, the letter-writer isn’t selling her home. She’s pissed that the Black people have the money to live near her so, as is their wont, she’s hyper-vigilant to everything they do (or don’t)!

IMO, safe bet based on the handwriting.

I don’t know what irritates me more about that letter...that it was written at all or that the writer can’t be arsed to capitalize his ‘l’s like he does the other letters.

I went to an all-girls school with a uniform, and you’re so right about being able to tell the difference between the rich girls and the not-so rich girls. The rich girls exchanged their white shirts for ones with a polo logo. Their shoes were Bass Weejun penny loafers. Their coats were the latest style and god help…

They have always said uniforms level the playing field for poorer students but in actuality it takes away the ability of all students to express themselves.

You’re talking about a uniform not a dress code which is honestly worse than a dress code. They have always said uniforms level the playing field for poorer students but in actuality it takes away the ability of all students to express themselves. Dress codes being the rules that dictate what students can or cannot…

I’mma say it now: fuck charter schools. If you look at who actually gets involved with charters, it’s much more about union-busting, teaching creationism and/or homophobia, and reviving “traditional” disciplinary practices up to and very much including corporal punishment. Unfortunately, the portion of black America…

This is just them saying the quiet part loud. the entire point of a dress code is to police the bodies of PoC and women. It’s something they can point to and say this is why you’re wrong this is why we’re punishing you for expression. Dress codes are always, have always, and will always be racist and sexist. Their…
