What I find so ludicrous (or one of the 900 infuriating things about this I find ludicrous) is there are so many things the FBI does take seriously that are objectively less crucial. Any one who could even maybe kinda sorta be a terrorist, no matter how flimsy our evidence? Let's follow through. Women getting doxxed…

This is encouraging. And there's just the tiniest part of me that wants one of the more ridiculous GamerGate frothers to post threats against her. *That* would get FBI attention in a hurry.
This is great! Finally, someone who gets it and can (maybe) do something about it! I just get sad when I remember that 50% of our representatives are old, whites dudes that probably don't even know how to use email and who have no idea why this is so important. :/
This is INCREDIBLE.
Remember before the Internet when people just fucking proposed with a goddamn ring in a champagne glass/piece of chocolate cake/etc.?
Can I mention how lucky I am to have a man who made me wait at a spot at Glacier National Park for 5 minutes for 4 other people to leave in order to ask me, quietly, to marry him. No videos, no cameras, no audience. I am lucky.
My husband, not overly sentimental, says to me on Sunday "Aww, did you see that latest proposal video? It's cute."
"You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater." I don't see the value of "the baby" here (i.e. the Greek system). What is worth saving? The tradition? Nah. Philanthropy? You don't need to be Greek to be charitable/volunteer. The social aspect? Save some money and make friends the regular way.
#Notallgreeks, huh? No one is making that assumption. Calling an institution racist is not the same as saying everyone within the institution is racist, and it would behoove those who care to enter this discussion to remember that. If you are truly not okay with this kind of behavior, then your energy would be better…
so well put. thank you.
It's pretty ridiculous to say it's just an Oklahoma/Southern problem, too. It's a RACISM problem and it's everywhere.
Racism in Oklahoman problem and an American problem. You say "really, any Southern university," but as someone who grew up in a blue state but went to school in the South (Roll Tide), I wouldn't try to rationalize this as something wrong with the South/Oklahoma/red states because it's certainly not unique to those…
If if were simply a group mentality thing, wouldn't we have, at some point, discovered a propensity for these overt displays of racism across other campus groups as well? Clubs? Sports teams? ROTC? Even just tightly knit social circles? The reason this behavior flourishes specifically and with alarming frequency…
NO NO NO
NO NO NO
Rosebud Salve is the best lip balm. I have extremely acne prone skin and can't wear a lot of lip gloss/balm because it breaks me out around my mouth, which is horrible. Obviously. I've been wearing this for years and it never breaks me out. It has just a hint of color, but looks pretty natural. It has a bit of…

This week, we've got a grab-bag of stories whose common thread is that I stared at each in wonder when I initially read them
Drugs are a helluva drug.
