My ignorance showing here, but almost all I know about Cabrini Green is from one of the greatest films of any kind ever made, Hoop Dreams. And I used to hear stories about Michael Jordan occasionally and quietly sliding out the players parking lot after a game at the old madhouse on madison to go and visit the kids…

Best news I’ve heard all day

I work in Indiana and live in Kentucky. I’ve had to be angry about two dipshit governors and their bullshit abortion restrictions.

this is all I have... I just, I can’t. What. The. Everloving. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

There’s 1000 things wrong with this, not the least of which is:

Fuck you Indiana. Seriously fuck youuuu. Is there any chance that the dick head govenor will sign this?

Real. There are similar other comments like this in the greys. It’s been a real bummer day for women considering it’s International Women’s Day. I read all the comments on that Erin Andrews lawsuit where she sued for being secretly filmed while nude by her stalker. She was awarded $55 million (she likely won’t walk…

Once when I was in my late 20s, a guy was so scary and persistent, I had to finally tell him my husband was a two-time Purple Heart decorated veteran highly trained in hand to hand combat and in the men’s room at this moment (all true, except he was at home).

As usual the bus was super crowded so I wasn’t sitting which was fine with me because I like to stand. Suddenly, I faintly smelled these wonderful scents : a perfume and aftershave as a couple passed behind me. The…

OMG waiting to check out popular school library books... What a blast from the past! Oh, the nostalgia!

I see a gold and white bar.

So much THIS. The idea of taking turns democracy? This isn’t kindergarten games. This is one side stating “we’ll take away the rights of anyone not like us, invade the reproductive choices of women, poison the environment and resources for profit, and blunder our way into more wars - which we are already using an…

we need balance.

I mean, this is mostly fine.

except for the one that actually stole the photo...

Kids have an innate sense of fairness.

omg right?! she pretty much was nude in the classroom and asking for them to take her photo and pass it around! like totally all on her. what was she thinking? she definitely wanted that to happen. she was asking for it. how is a boy NOT gonna do that when the offer is there?!?!?! /s

I was once asked if I was “a little chinese” in a JOB INTERVIEW.
