I just wanted to center everyone and appreciate the whimsy of the anti-vaxxer-in-chief seductively eating a bit o’ salad.

Exactly. I have to look like some perpetual growth spurted middle schooler because the pants are never long enough. I try to negate this with whimsical socks to cover that pant-shoe gap.

Luckily my pastor a) actually knew my mother and b) wasn’t a fundie so he didn’t hijack the service with “she’s waiting for us in heaven so TURN OR BURN.”

It’s all Northern propaganda. The war was over state’s rights, sheeple.

Now that is classic. The craziest we get down here are the rare Confederate sympathizers. Like, most of the rednecks who supported the flag only do so out of ignorance. But a few are a bit too educated on the Civil War and talk about how public schools issue books specifically designed to make us and Nazi Germany look…

Pepto makes it black like the night. Also, that purple and green ketchup from the early naughts was reflected upon defecation.

It took me a long ass time to realize my white privilege and male privilege, and it took me a longer time to get over the guilt and actually lend my voice to being an ally. I would’ve been like many of the aforementioned commenters not too long ago, but I learned what fucking empathy is and how to think for myself. I…

A lot of my high school science teachers were heavily involved in marine biology and beach restoration given where we live. Almost all of them wanted their ashes to be incorporated into a reef. Sounded weird to me at first, but do what you want what you want to [your] body.

This sounds like a truly Southern ordeal!

Um #TeamArtificialReef do u even conserve the environment

A 12 year old?! The fuck. . . What kind of adjective could describe that behavior?

I didn’t want to say that, but yeah. I worked for my university and got reprimanded twice because I was a dickhead and going through the throes of mania so I would yell at people and say questionably racist things without using my mental filter first. My coworkers didn’t agree with what I said (and I never leverage my…

Total troll, but even trolls have merit. #notalltrolls

I never thought about it from that angle. But yeah, I’ve never heard one of my guy friends talk about how amazing a woman is for her personality or how strong she was in her convictions. But that goes back to the whole taboo act of expressing emotion. Not gonna drop any more buzzwords because commenters are after my…

Eh I stay away from the NFL because there’s more players to hate than to love. Jumped on the Saints bandwagon for a bit, but I’ll take my college football over anything. Those kids have heart. Start signing million dollar contracts, and its bound to go to your head eventually.

Tyson Beckford STOP there is not enough water in my city for my perpetual thirst.

I gave up after a while. Thread got too long to where you couldn’t see way at the top of the kinja ladder someone called me out for using “misogynystic” too soon and I agreed that I kinda dropped a stinky hot take. Oh well, I’ll suffer through the next few days with people saying “NO YOU FUCKER WOMEN DO THIS TOO GET…

How do you know for sure she can “survive” that? Some people don’t have the emotional resilience that others have. We can keep making some esoteric thought to justify our opinions, but that doesn’t detract from the fact that this kind of behavior in the workplace generally isn’t tolerated.

Why are you even here if you think this place is some hotbed of ignorance? The fact that people are upset about this probably indicates that they have experienced this in some way on the job.

Lots of people doing something most of the time doesn’t make it right.
