Tea cup pigs don’t even exist. They are only that small as babies. People started selling them and telling people that as long as they don’t feed them a lot, they will stay tiny forever. Well yeah, they won’t grow because you are essentially starving them.

That story misses the main point. They are living there so their daughter can stay in her high school. For most people that limits where can live. I would assume for the former president and family the logistics limit things even further.

So she’s saying the rich black family shouldn’t live in a nice neighborhood?

Ugh. I was excited for this after an interview with the creator, but this sounds like a run of the mill CW/WB soapfest devoid of all the things that make Archie special. The comics have been proving that you can do angsty Archie while still retaining the flavor of the universe, so why can’t the script writers take a…

There is no “right” way for a woman to be pregnant. She doesn’t worry enough, she worries too much, she doesn’t take the right precautions, she’s ridiculous, etc.

The issue wasn't that SFCC didn't want to hire cosplayers! The issue is the whole conversation that followed, and the personal opinions of the Facebook guy about women in cosplay getting paid to be in cosplay.

The problem was never that they turned down the solicitation. And really, it wouldn't have even been a big deal to turn down the solicitation in a snarky way, although it was a bit mean and totally unnecessary to blast it out on Facebook (though without any identifying information attached). The real problem was the…

The issue at hand with Sante Fe wasn’t them not wanting the cosplay guest, the problem was the unprofessional attitude that they presented throughout the entire ordeal from the initial post to every reply he posted afterwards.

My brother has schizophrenia. His life has value. I could never imagine writing something like that about him. Just FYI people, stop making psycho or schizo into a slur. Stigma is a real problem and contributes to the devaluing of the lives of people who have thought disorders.

It would be SO unlike the police/government to try and destroy the reputation of someone working for justice [eyeroll]

Things that are definitely bullshit about this story:

True, but it also wouldn’t be the first time movements have been subject to set-ups. We'll see.

If it’s true that he wasn’t helping her prostitute herself, then yes, him denouncing her is completely valid.

I thought the same thing. Whenever black people (in the US) mobilize and organize to press for better living conditions and legal equality, the state is always ready to implicate them (the leaders of the movement(s)) in some criminal bullshit.

I am not vegan but I will regularly defend vegans (the ones that are not insane YouTubers, though) just because even the ones that do proselytize and wish the whole world went vegan, a la Morrissey, at least want something feasible (assuming they are not super into almond milk!). Like, if the whole world went vegan,…

Soooooo many times this. ^^

“We have to be afraid of trans people because cis men are all psychopathic predators who want to rape and murder you and your children!”

Quite! I managed to be sexually assaulted exclusively NOT in bathrooms! But strangely, if someone really did want to, I don’t think a law saying “you can’t go in this bathroom” would stop them. After all, the one saying “you can’t rape people” didn’t bother them much.

She never said she’d vote for Trump, that was “Trumped up”, if you will – if you watch the whole interview, the newscaster says something about “wouldn’t Hillary be better than Trump” and she says “well, I don’t know – some people feel like him being elected would bring the revolution immediately” [implication, by not…

I think that it’s a shitty terrible way to put it but saying you are voting for her just because you are both women leaves it open for those kinds of remarks.
