Y’all, go make a will. Now. Even if your assets are minimal or just bunch of books and shoes. In many states you just need to write it on your own and simply take it to a bank to have it notarized for free. You will save your loved ones, friends or family, lots of headaches.

Although we have proven that the moon is not made of spare ribs, we have not proven that its core cannot be filled with them; therefore, the moon’s core is filled with spare ribs.

“If she was seen by the public at large as a black woman, light skinned or not, was she not subjected to the same biases or inclusions based on that?”

No. Because she got to chose which version of black womanhood she wanted to represent and she got to use her insider’s knowledge of white thought processes regarding…

Dolezal, on the other hand, no matter how bad she might feel that oppression, can escape it any time she wants.

I think, first of all, the very ability to step out of the shoes she was walking in 100% changes her experience. People who pretend to be homeless to make themselves feel better aren’t actually homeless, people who put on fat suits to live as an overweight person aren’t actually overweight. People who wear blackface…

Then the problem is not race, it’s racism.

I disagree, for a simple reason: You are not disadvantaged due to racial identification if that identification is something you can walk away from at any time.

As a biracial woman, works that examine this sort of thing always interest me when they’re done by people who know what the hell they’re talking about. So, pretty much anyone other than Rachel Dolezel, who has never been caught between a race or culture or ethnicity or anything else. Bitch, you ARE white. You…

For me it boils down to consent and an expectation of privacy. If you decide to have sex in the woods, in the park, or pretty much any public place, you are in may ways waiving that expectation of privacy. No matter how secluded your are, you are still in a public place. There is nothing you can do to stop some random…

When you’re having sex out in the woods, you know that someone could see you. When you have sex in a hotel room, you’ve got some reasonable expectation of privacy. Not that the couple in the woods would be necessarily thrilled to know someone’s watching (maybe they would?) but if you’re going to do something in a…

Apparently choosing to not vote for a candidate that doesn’t represent ones’ interests is now a privilege.

If Bernie doesn’t get nominated, I guess I’m staying home. No way am I choosing between Hillary and Donald. Sorry America, and sorry to Virginia, where I live

Yes, exactly. I’d actually like to see some comparison between 2012 and this year for election coverage hours. Also, even if there has been an increase, this is a completely batshit election season. I’m 65 and remember all the way back to Eisenhower and I’ve never witnessed anything like 2016. It kinda warrants more…

No, that’s bullshit. She didn’t have to appropriate specific cultural stories. In writing the original series she didn’t make Jesus and Muhammad wizards, or Imams or Catholic priests or etc etc. Had she done so the screaming would still be going on. She created a mythos and culture for her wizards that was entirely…

Uh, this is pretty much the equivalent of saying that native representation in movies either doesn’t exist or can only be Johnny Depp playing Tonto.

I think it’s awesome that you are voting against your own interests and don’t even care!

*when the media started paying attention to epidemic of police violence,

Are there people out there who really would prefer hearing that awful beeping than some harmless words?

Honestly, the phrase ‘Federally managed territory’ is only dystopian sounding if you listen to too many nutters.
