Kanye, why do you have to make is so hard to appreciate your music by, you know, being such a horrible person?

Remember the thought experiment, about liberals running their own Donald Trump-esque candidate, and would we vote for him? That is Kanye West, and the answer is “hell no.”

Blacksploitation straddles the strange fence that separates black cinematic representation in a time when Hollywood wore its racism on its sleeve and stereotypical fiction beloved by white racists (i have never met a white person who loved blacksploitation movies who wasn’t a bigot)

I am so bored by Hailee Steinfeld. Fam, why do y’all keep trying to make her a thing? That music? This movie? She is so aggressively uninteresting.

It’s taught here in Washington State, where many camps were, and some woman a year or two ago got herself in REAL hot water by saying the museum/education center that one of the camps was turned into “didn’t tell the whole story” and didn’t present a “balanced” view of what happened.

I heard once that when Japanese Canadian men were demobilized from the army at the end of the war and went home, they were required to inform the RCMP whenever they planned to leave the town/city they were living in. Didn’t matter that they had just been fighting overseas for their country, they weren’t trusted to…

Not excusing her, but you can’t walk out. You can call an admin, but it really challenging schools no one will come, and they don’t want you sending kids to the office. Really defiant kids won’t go even if you do send them.

I worked at a daycare for a summer job one year. Got a teacher fired cos she smacked a kid and then said that no one would tell because “we’re all teachers” and wouldn’t rat her out. 

A lot of young idealistic people head into the inner cities with the idea that they can use reason, persuasion, and a demonstration of their own love of learning to get kids to take an interest in school. Unfortunately, it usually doesn’t work. Most teachers get spit out after several years or, like this one, wind up…

Same, but our school was majority white and she liked to call Asian students “Ching Chong” and she once called a black girl “Kadisha”. She retired last year.

As a former teacher: Good. Nobody like this deserves to be a teacher.

The best part of these letters is that, for the most part, they serve to show how deeply our public servants care about the cause for which they serve. These people are speaking anonymously and thus have little reason to lie, and what I get from reading these pieces is the terror that Trump will undo the work they’ve…

I’m a Fed scientist at the USDA. We’ve had steady growth since a reorganization of 2008 (while others had layoffs) and finally started hiring again in the past year and a half. I don’t know what this does but the heads say the outlook is not good.

I heard that Ralph Fiennes looked so much like the Nazi when he was in Schindlers List that the Holocaust survivors on set would begin shaking uncontrollably when he was in full costume.

And Daniel Bruhl is really good at playing Nazis!

I was just thinking that, lol Like, isn’t she also a zookeeper? Can’t it just be, “The Zookeeper”?

Unrelated to the movie, but I feel the need to say I’m getting sick of the trend of naming books after the female protagonist’s relationship to the men in her life. The Shoemaker’s Wife. The Calligrapher’s Daughter. The Zookeeper’s wife. The Baker’s Daughter. Etc etc.

aaaaaah I love her so much and I am so excited to read thisssss
