There’s a Woman Card?!? Where do I get mine?! Because being a woman in engineering I could kinda use one...

Or at least re-happy.

Things I don’t understand.

You're being sarcastic, but both historically and scripturally hatred is a core element of Christianity.

I remember when the guy set the mosque on fire in my area. That mosque has a children’s school in it, as a “Sunday School” type thing. I’ve been there for sociology classes, and on my own because the place was just so beautiful and peaceful. Two places he targeted were the library, filled with centuries-old books, and…

Nothing says “I’m a Christian” louder than nonsensical intolerance, leaving your family on Christmas, to commit law breaking assholery bordering on homicidal rage!

with a name like arbour she should make a like a tree and get out of here

Oh, good.

But it is ok cause she made money off being an asshole. #blessed

All fine advice-but if all else fails...have a dance number ready.

So, here’s a crazy idea: when a kid reaches a certain amount of lunch debt, a social worker or school administrator reaches out to the kid’s family to try to find out why: is the kid going to school with lunch money every day and getting it taken on the way to school? Are they just spending it on chips in the morning?…

“Guys, it’s private property, you can’t do your protests there! Think of how inconvenient you are to shoppers! Why can’t these BLM people go off somewhere quiet and out of view and have respectable protests like civil rights fighters back in the 50s and 60s!”

Don’t be absurd. There are many ways to have a police presence for the protection of life and property that are significantly less threatening and aggressive than what they chose. I’m not criticizing the fact of the police presence, rather the manner of it.

the idea that protest must happen within a specific framework is never a) proportionate to the terror and oppression the people protesting (and/or those for whom they protest) face and b) in line with reality. look at every.single.historical.example. of actual change, then tell me if the people “followed the rules”…

Protest is supposed to be annoying. If it were nice and under the radar, it would be pointless.

I wonder if they know how menacing that looks and feels - that police line, all decked out in riot gear, advancing. THAT is escalating the situation, before anything’s even begun. That is not how you keep peace. That is how you disturb it.

It was 6 years ago and it still makes me sad to think about. DAMN YOU, JEFFREY. I blame my dysfunctional love life on him and the precedent he set. Emotionally unavailable assholes are my catnip. I CAN MAKE YOU LOVE ME!! (but I can't)

YUP.
