I’m a healthy adult teacher, and some things on this list scare me/piss me off, too, so I can only imagine how terrifying it must be for you. Not to scare you more, but do know that, regardless of what this list says, kids will be both sent to school with EVERYTHING (including the “keep home!” list), and many kids…

My daughter has just finished her 4th round of chemo for Pre-B ALL (Leukemia). We’re talking this week with our care team about returning her to school, and this terrifies me. It all seems reasonable, and yet... ugh. If your kid had a runny nose or a fever (even without other symptoms) can you at least call the parent…

Popeye’s is probably one of the few fast foods I will honestly say is good. Even my foodie brother tries to make his red beans and rice like theirs.

I’m not gonna lie, Australia’s police forces have their own issues - entrenched racism, almost-as-bad homophobia, and a long history of corruption - but your country’s law enforcement scares the crap out of me. At least our cops aren’t toting around military-grade armaments, and as bad as they are they don’t go around…

I’ve been saying this for about a year now, but everything the alt right does boils down to sexual insecurity

Yeah, I was gonna say. I don’t like to play equivalencies, but American imperialism is just as vile (and objectively more harmful) as the alt right, never mind that the alt right of course very much supports that kind of violence.

See, I’d take this one step further. It’s easy to say “Fuck them” when we’re talking about the “alt-right.”

But frankly, that’s my attitude towards anyone who holds up The Punisher as a hero to be admired or emulated. Even if they are American soldiers fighting in foreign countries.

All those folks who think The…

They don’t remember that he’s a remorseless cop killer, who happily murders any police officer suspected of corruption?

I’m more interested what he thinks about the cops that worship the Punisher and put his logo on their cop cars. That’s the most horrifying one for me.

And extremely pale foundations and the corresponding models. It’s an extremely inclusive line; much more than it had to be. I don’t want to be the “Get Out” woker than woke virtue signaling white girlfriend but we already have all the cosmetic brands and Rihanna would have been well within her right to say “nope” and…

From what I’ve tried of Fenty Beauty, I think I’ve determined that it’s not great for my skin tone, which is fine considering that cosmetic companies have almost exclusively been courting my skin tone for centuries. I’ll deal.

Except if you read the non-Jezebel takes on the story, she was probably railroaded by the police into making a false confession (impacted by language issues). It is unlikely that she took any action that directly led to her fiance’s death.

Jezebel got slammed for their poor reporting the last time they did an article…

What’s also amazing is the willingness of our penal system to prioritize crimes against property over crimes against people.

Kalief Browder spent years in prison over a backpack and an iPod Touch. Yet this woman is free, after serving less time than he did, after she murdered someone? White privilege is amazing.

Must be nice to be a white woman

I found this product in a bathroom at a doctor’s office. It really works and if you buy the unscented, it leaves virtually no scent at all. I loathe scented air sprays. They remind me of an exchange from an old comedy: “Did the airspray help?” “Yeah, before it smelled like he puked. Now it smells like he puked in a…

Please buy the generic Magic Erasers (AKA Melamine Cleaning Sponges). The Mr. Clean ones are soooo over-priced.

Ponds Makeup Wipes - they seriously will clean anything - including sharpie ink & hair dye! I use them on all surfaces, too: walls, carpet, car upholstery, you name it. They’re brilliant!
