Dual US/UK citizen here. Not a day goes by that I’m not forced to hear some asshole mocking my (southern US) or my family’s (London) way of speaking.

36H here.

In other news, “loathe” and “loath” are two different parts of speech and have completely different meanings.

Anti-rural notions like this are, for the record, incredibly racist and misinformed. Most of the progressive and “blue” movements in this country started in rural communities. Civil rights, labor unions, environmental activism, and so forth originated in the kinds of places urban folks love to deride. And they’re…

Joe. I love you, but you fucked up those hearings.

OMG THANK YOU

Um, I had no idea it WASN’T a comedy until I saw this article. I laughed through the whole thing.

Oh, woops. So sorry!

I’ll totally concede your point IF you’ll concede that Trump must therefore be impeached and his sexual predation investigated by a powerful independent counsel and an unrelenting free press.

You’re cherry picking, looking for fuzzy boundaries. How’s about you sit with the idea that you’re a little too focused on “speaking to a woman when she doesn’t want to be spoken to”? If you think people should be able to chat someone up even when the receiver is clearly not in the mood to talk to anyone... that’s not…

The OP is female. She specifically says so in her post.

Being hit on by a random person, gay or straight, is very different to being actively pursued by a wealthy, powerful employer whose lightest word could end your career.

That West Virginia one was just a coyote. I live in deep-woods Appalachia, and I hear that same injured-woman-in-angry-hell sound about three times per night. Coyote screams are creepy as fuck, but it ain’t no thing.

Never marry someone if you can’t stand their family.

Fine, I’ll say it:

I have hated Lars von Trier since Breaking the Waves, which is a sick, disturbing, infuriating, and hardcore triggering rape movie about rapey rapeness.

She’s a horrific, mendacious opportunist whose only skills are being conventionally attractive and having the ability to string words together in coherent sentences. Anyone who works at Fox deserves the same fate, because she’s nowhere near as offensive as some of their other lineup.

I was actually infuriated by this video, because I honestly thought everyone walks the way I do. Why are people clomping around on their heels?! What is wrong with everyone? That’s not walking, it’s assaulting the earth.

Hi, I’m also a white lady. It’s no one’s responsibility, in these incredibly difficult and important times, to “take time” and tell you, an incredibly privileged person, how you are seen by people of color. You do not get extra credit for doing what we should all already be doing.

It’s also not funny or clever to arrive in someone else’s country and start telling people how to pronounce words.
