You must emanate a strong sympathy that so many students felt they could confide in you. Not necessarily an easy position, though.....

I taught Liberal Arts at a big public university for a while. I still can’t believe how many students came to me, during office hours, to tell me they had been raped. Hell, I knew the school didn't care and wouldn't listen. One girl came back and said "they didn't care and they wouldn't listen." I said, "put away your…

“Over the last 10 or 15 years, there’s been a growing openness to acknowledge and investigate past abuse in all kinds of youth-serving institutions,” he writes. “That’s a healthy development, even if it means that today’s school leaders must grapple with abuse cases—and organizational missteps—from the past, when…

My father invented shitting on silver platters.

I went to Global Citizen Fest last September to see Pearl Jam. I had to suffer through Beyonce’s set before they came on, and I have to say it was one of the worst things I’ve ever had to endure. Is it really necessary to have 17 costume changes at a benefit concert for people who are suffering in poverty, going…

I remember, oddly enough, watching Robert Downey Jr.’s interview on Inside the Actor’s Studio several years ago. Lipton was asking about what he was like to work with as an actor on set, and he basically framed his response around the idea that to be unprepared or to waste time quibbling about “not feeling the…

I’m a major Beyoncé fan, though I don’t engage in this kind of thing (it’s gotta only be like snotty 14-year-olds with nothing else better to do, right?).

If you use your fandom as an excuse to attack people you’ve never met and who did nothing to you, you’re not a good person. And that goes especially for anyone who criticizes what I like. You’re all assholes and I hope you die.

I took a theatre class in college where one of the students blamed a poor performance on him “just not fully feeling the moment and the character,” probably thinking that it would get him bonus points for, I dunno, aspiring to a ~deep connection~ with the material.

Go Mama Ching Ching!!! (That’s the sound of money)

Are you high or am I?
