She threw her own child out of a window. How is that not domestic abuse? What are you even talking about right now?

Is this article being bumped up because of that Dear White People episode?

I saved my little sister from choking when she was four or five and our parents were out. She was sucking on a little piece of hard candy and accidentally swallowed it too soon. I just started smacking her back as hard as I could, shouting “Are you choking??” at her, again and again. The first smack, she glared at me,…

It’ll happen to you too, if you’re lucky.

You say that like it’s a bad thing ;)

I majored in Journalism. And no, I have not become a world-famous international corespondent as planned. I have done several things tangentially related to my major, none of which I really would have seen myself doing as a teenager. My current job is not particularly meaningful to me, but on the upside, it is also…

Oh no, Chris Brown wakes up as Lil Dicky, who throws it in there like it’s NOTHING.

Meanwhile, in reality, Israel has already attacked Syria.

“Recall the town hall in 2008 where a woman stood up, called President Obama an Arab, and he interrupted and took the mic away from her saying, ‘No ma’am. He’s a decent family man.’”

Huh. It’s interesting that you remember that as a positive moment. As an Arab American, that’s one of the things I will never forgive him…

Oh wow, eyes and upward, he definitely does here.

Absolutely. And I died at her Jake Tapper o-face.

She literally called him up to tell him to stop tweeting and clarify that he doesn’t agree with everything Trump does. She has been vocal in her hatred of Trump in the past. Her defense of him is bullshit, but he’s her husband, and it’s to be expected — why is this her fault?

“Obviously, she didn’t watch the movie. Probably hard to because it reads like a documentary of her whole family.”

Dude, I just snorted coffee up my nose. Not cool! (WALL!)  

I’ve had massages where the therapist climbed onto the table to use her feet (I have chronic neck problems, so I’ve tried basically every type of massage I can find).

Yeah, I feel like we JUST had an article on here about the people around Stan Lee taking advantage of his trust and trying to weasel him out of his estate? Seems like something relevant to accusations being made against him now.

I am third out of five children (and verrry much a middle child), so I can relate. I try to remind myself that our parents are humans who, despite doing the best they can, are basically fuck-ups, faking it at almost all times. So that’s how I forgive my parents for their failings during my childhood.

Abuse? Where? You can’t categorize every “bad thing” as abuse.

You didn’t offend me, I’m sorry. This whole thread is stressing me out. You nailed it when you described the whole video as “orientalist.”

“Where is the line between cultural appropriation and just wearing something because you like the way it makes you look and feel?”

She’s not wearing traditional Bedouin clothing. She’s trying to look like she’s in the Arab Gulf, specifically, Dubai (re: the skyline, the cheetah, the men’s clothing in the video). And the reglious wear I am referring to is hijab and niqab — basically the most recognizable clothing of Muslim women. She’s wearing a…
