Law school! I’m in it now. I had to submit 5 years of me and my parents’ tax returns to prove that they are not supporting me, so the school wouldn’t factor in their contribution into my financial aid package. Even though if I had just moved out yesterday they wouldn’t have given me a dime for school. I feel for the…

Yeah I’m 29 and still on the family plan and its my one guilty little secret of being an otherwise fully functioning and self-supporting adult... it really doesn’t make sense to get my own though, it’s so much more expensive! And I keep offering to pay my dad but he refuses, I think because I’ve spent most of my 20s…

Yeah I’m on track to be a PD but cases like this make that complicated...

people stuck at the airport

Yeah - you can get bills for court costs, for having a public defender, for being held in jail prior to trial because you couldn’t make bail...

Aw I was hoping this would be the movie version of The Queen v. Dudley & Stephens.

Great, now when can we fine the rest of the country?

Nowadays when a customer engages in really shitty behavior the server has no recourse to do anything about it, because she pays her rent with his tips. So he can grab her ass, bark at her, send her scurrying all over the restaurant to fulfill his every whim, and unless she wants to lose out on whatever measly tip he’s…

...you are mad at something that you publicly called for, because it might be like something else, despite the fact that you have no proof or reason to believe it is in fact like something else and not exactly the thing that you publicly called for?

Yeah I don’t get it. Just have a 20s themed party if you want to dress like a flapper! But having a Gatsby themed party is basically saying “I slept through high school English and never actually read this book or understand what its about”

You can call this Pinkham’s law or whatever but having just watched a crapload of police brutality videos for a class devoted to discussing police brutality tomorrow, calling the cops on people doesn’t sound like a hilarious awesome story of magnificent revenge. Drunk driving is an awful and shitty thing to do but…

I fucking hate this day, worst day of the year. It marks the day at which I won’t leave work before it’s dark out for the next 4 months. Ugh.

So on the one hand I get Tom Cruise singing “You Lost that Lovin Feeling” at their wedding because of the scene in Top Gun. Cute, not a bad song choice. On the other hand, it kind of brings up the fact that she was.... 8 years old, when Top Gun came out. Kind of a bad song choice.

I wait until the day of and if anyone around me is dressing up I halfheartedly throw something together.

I don’t know about statistics on arrests like this but yes there have been lots of studies that show that African American students are suspended, expelled, arrested, or referred to law enforcement at disproportionately high rates. Here’s a couple: http://www.prb.org/Publications/A…

That picture + this article = perfection 👌

Just because Justin Bieber is annoying and wrong about everything else, doesn’t mean he’s wrong about this. It’s weird how freely the photos were shared, with no shame, and with mocking commentary to boot. Anyone would rightly feel violated having nude photos of them shared across the internet. Remember what Jennifer…

He was outside on what looked like a private patio or something, its not like he was strolling through a park. I’m guessing lots of homeowners with private outdoor spaces would be surprised to learn they can’t go outside naked with any expectation of privacy.

There’s 4 seasons of SVU on Netflix (the new seasons) and I have no idea why but I’ve been bingewatching them. And it’s like revisiting the headlines that were big a year ago - I’m amazed how fast they cover things that just happened.

I don’t know about popular, but probably necessary at some point. I don’t think our current fast fashion system is sustainable, and also I hope it’s not, built upon the backs of sweatshop workers as it is.
