Any chance Jezebel wants to interview Angie Thomas about THE HATE U GIVE? A debut book by a female, African-American author that hit number one on the NY Times bestseller list, and has a movie deal. Also, there’s this WSJ article highlighting ‘Rock Star’ librarians of the children’s lit world, and the author only

“It’s their job and livelihood to at least appear that they’re friendly with you.”
This. Exactly this. I worked retail for a number of years and I eventually just stopped being /overly/ nice to people because I ended up with too many guys asking for my number. 

Making fun of someone else’s education while capitalizing words that shouldn’t be and failing to check for errors or use appropriate punctuation. How rich.

No no no. I’ve had one UTI that probably spread to my kidneys. Nope. It ranks up there with shingles as one of the most painful things I’ve ever experienced.

We need to stop playing into the GOP narrative that we want free birth control. Under the ACA, we get birth control covered at 100% by our insurance, but we pay for the insurance. It’s not a handout. It’s simply requiring insurance to provide a benefit that the overwhelming majority of women need.

I can’t stand that look of awe and childlike adoration on a grown woman’s face. It’s the look every woman with one marble rolling around in her head gives her husband when he’s got two marbles rolling around. Duggard shit

Except you get to keep your all your income, you get to protect the environment like you want, you get to keep as many immigrants as you choose, and you have the 8th largest economy in the world, ample crop space, and ready access to shipping lanes.

If everyone leaves, he’s not president of anything anymore. I say all 50 states disband and reform as the United States of Not Trump.

What you are describing is the paradox of tolerance. As Karl Popper said, “Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the

A self-hating one at that. He advocates for “gays to go back in the closet” and that he’d be straight if he could help it, and he has said that “gay rights are detrimental to humanity”.

I see our education system has failed you since you can’t distinguish between throwing something at someone in class and throwing a Barbie doll at a relative in your own home.

Yes, just keep employing those false equivalencies for Obama and Trump.

The better question is do care if she is? We as the player are supposed to relate to the characters we play as in video games.

I love this article mostly. It’s a great conversations! That being said... As a bisexual fan, I must ask why everyone is assuming Tracer is gay?

Sorry you don’t approve

the panicked employee who had called the cops was being “counseled and retrained.”

I’ve struggled with this, but as women have explained it to me...

1] Unless the woman in question has asked for my opinion or approval about what they’re wearing (or not wearing), my opinion does not matter. Feminist empowerment has everything to do with allowing each woman to decide what to do with their bodies,

I get the sentiment, but no. The party that wants to force my legally married gay sister to have a divorce? That wants to increase my taxes while giving a handjob to the rich? That is jeopardizing my son's future by refusing to acknowledge climate change? Not so much "in it" with me as actively trying to fuck me over.
