Anyone that has a sobbing meltdown over waiting for fast food needs to have their gun removed and to have their fitness for duty evaluated. 

Love that she snuck in there that she did the mobile order so other people wouldn’t “pay for her stuff.” You know you’re in a trod-upon profession when people are always offering to pay for your shit. 

Probably because she didn’t actually think she knew the owner?

Wow. I had never seen that Alexander video. It’s not even the accosting and the assumption that he doesn’t live there (which are awful), but the way she’s explaining to him how basic things like property ownership and protest work. This is exactly the way I talk to my three year-old when he wants to know why he can’t…

In an unkind way I'm especially happy that Stassi lost the opportunity to have her big European destination wedding broadcast over multiple weeks on tv. 

I am one of the teachers who gave ‘personal information’. I didn’t receive a dress, but I got a coupon for 20% off. It was a letdown, but I’m not upset enough to file a lawsuit over a dress. The wording was poor and it was stupid of them to believe teachers wouldn’t jump at a freebie, but I don’t believe they were…

I think it’s just a lotta photoshop, tbh.

Schroeder and Doute are only speaking out because they lost sponsors aka income. They don’t care. They’re terrible people. Neither one of them has actually apologized privately/directly to Faith (according to Faith, who is the only believable person in this situation). They not only called the police on her, they…

If the group has 38,000 members, it doesn’t seem like a huge deal to try to have a couple dozens mod, tbh.

I live in DC and have been attending the protests all week, and the scariest thing to me is the presence of literal mercenary contractors mixed in with the police. They are driving around the city in unmarked SUVs and trucks, and are identifiable by their mismatched military style gear that doesn’t bear any…

Also, I’m not sure I’d call the wig-shitting threat a *micro*aggression. It seems pretty dang aggressive.

I mean, I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but the whole problem is that organized protests with clear speeches by community leaders happen all the time, including in the midst of this, and none of it gets press UNTIL stuff goes all wobbly.

For instance, I work on McAllister in San Francisco and there were…

On the other hand, a couple of my black friends have been posting that they’re sick of seeing their white friends’ timelines look like business as usual. There isn’t a good answer here - Ally Olympics vs. White Silence - I think all we can do is be honest about our intentions in posting.

But haven’t just as many progressives and activists been telling white people that racism is their problem to solve and that white allies have to work on other white people to make them how they’re a part of the problem, and to stop looking to POC to tell them what to do? But when white women tackle it head on and…

Excellent essay.

“Give me one example, please!”
*Receives several examples*
“LOL NOT THOSE THO!”

I think you’ll find technically your whole damn country is founded on a violent protest, and without it you’d be singing “god save the queen” before big sporting events.

Like, I understand the impulse to want “fun skating talk” to be its own thing if people were bombarding those posts with thoughts on the 2020 Dem primary or something.

It’s definitely photo shopped - look at the necklace - half of it isn’t even there anymore.

I’m pretty sure it’s just extreme photoshop.
