Am I missing something, or do the photo caption of the homeless person and the Racked interview say opposite things? Wait, I think I get it. He took a stealth photo of someone, wrote a virtue-signaling caption, got called out for the photo being disrespectful, and in defending himself showed his dark underbelly by…

I’m so FUCKING TIRED of people insisting that white dudes should get the benefit of the doubt or that they “don’t really mean what they say” at every fucking turn.

I’m pretty sure NYC is Lenni Lenape territory. San Francisco is stolen/occupied Ohlone lands. Chicago is the homelands to Algonquian tribes. Atlanta is Creek and Muskogee lands. The metro Phoenix area, which includes Scottsdale, another culture vulture mecca, and Tucson are occupied O’odham lands. The name of Tucson…

I don’t know. I was born in New Mexico and grew up there in the ‘80s, and what is described here is nothing new — 30+ years ago it was Shirley Maclaine and her crystals. People outside of Santa Fe refer to it as Fanta Se, and even 30 years ago the wealth disparity was striking. Perhaps the activism on the part of the…

When the author scuttles back to Brooklyn, is she aware that the land there is equally sacred, and that she’s using it without awareness of those who lived there before European contact? There isn’t any place in the Americas where this isn’t true, whether or not there are walking, talking reminders of that fact.

I just re-read the whole piece and I am scratching my head even more as to why she felt compelled to waste everyone’s time when the gist of this piece is simply humblebrag about her dad and her family without even realizing the savior element tied to it. Her dad barely even talks about his work that saved, in part,…

But they don’t come here for the people. They don’t really come here for the land. That’s something that really bothers me. They got off the plane, get in the rental car, drive around, consume, consume, consume, then they take off. And they don’t do anything to recognize the people who have lived here and who still…

Out there, on the internet somewhere, there’s a lengthy article written by a born and raised Brooklynite talking about their neighborhood being overrun with a scourge of bloggers from New Mexico.

Oblivious rich people are going to fuck up any local culture no matter where it is. I think after the first period of actual Manifest Destiny this comes as no surprise.

Depends on the crisis center. Some might set you up with assistance, but a lot of them are run by adoption agencies and will do their damndest to convince you you’re a terrible parent and mislead you about your legal rights in an effort to get you to surrender your baby to them. I wish I was joking.

And then there’s my favorite counter argument, ‘but this trained job makes a living wage, why do you think mere burger flippers should make the same amount as the person in the trained job?’ Well, I think someone in a trained job should probably make more than just a living wage.

Reaching out to diaper companies to ask why diapers are so expensive? As always, the right question is why are businesses allowed to employ individuals at a less than living wage? Every time I hear Republicans bitching about how unfair it is that they have to support the poor, I want to scream that they actively…

I’m pregnant and terrified of not being able to provide for my child. Between child care cost, no paid maternity/paternity leave, diapers, the mortgage, utilities, it is going to be a challenge. We make too much for public assistance, but will barely be getting by. America is fucked.

Pretty much. As far as Republicans are concerned, the government can’t do anything for the greater good of the country unless it’s privatized and/or pulling a profit because that would be socialism if not communism and ‘Merica is all about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps and getting filthy rich through grit…

So....I know it’s just me being a “snowflake” to worry about conflicts of interest but can someone ask Huckette if any Executive branch employees and/or their families are shorting Amazon?

I read this in a dental chair getting new repair work on the teeth that were knocked out by a man over 30 years ago. How badly were you affected is truth.

No snark, but I honestly don’t know why this would be shocking. The same culture that teaches men to hate women also teaches women to hate women.

Indeed.

The only thing that will save us is the incredible incompetence of the right wing leadership. We better get control back before they get some Emperor Palpatine level criminal in the White House.
