Deepest apologies for taking those young music critics who wanted to talk about their favorite band so seriously.

Here you go. A shot of the actual campus. The shot used most often in association with SDSU. A view I have not had to witness daily in over 10 years (huzzah!).

If you think kindness is the limit of what is needed to stop mass death of Black teenagers, you have some work to do.

Would you have said the same thing to the white Mississippi freedom riders? They were good white people, too, and they paid the ultimate price for their decision to stand up for justice. Or the straight folk who mourned the death of Matthew Shepard? Or the men who fight for equal pay for women? Or the able-bodied…

Right. I don't want a prize, but also, don't basically tell me to shut up. That doesn't do anyone any good.

I thought it was a wonderful piece, but I sincerely doubt that most good white people—or at least the good white people who run in my circles—believe that they "deserve a fucking prize." I think they're expressing empathy.

"Good white people" demonstrate the qualities that all good people demonstrate: kindness, empathy, compassion, thoughtfulness, unconditional love. These are the values I try to instill in my students; that parents try to instill in their children.

HA! I ordered the Cards Against Humanity's Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa gifts for yours truly this year and it is full of win. I'm deep in finals week and not able to devote time to solve the super secret puzzle that is part of the gifts. But I have enjoyed opening my lonely mailbox during the past few weeks to…

And how many of them knows the difference between the Virgin Birth and Immaculate Conception?

I think that any movement requires a good deal of self-reflection.
I do not think "the problem is white women" is necessarily the most constructive way to preface that self-reflection. Just my opinion.

I never understand the "other people have it way worse" argument when it comes to feminism, racism, etc.
I'm always like: Great! If ours is not such a big problem then there's no reason we shouldn't be able to address it in tandem with the other "bigger" problems. Now let's get to work!

Yeah, infrared sauna ruptured a breast implant on someone where I was working. Going back to the premise - what evidence is there that we need to be "detoxified" by any method other than the organs doing their intended thing.

...never thought I needed a flu shot "because I had the flu before". Ummm no I didn't. I had really bad colds before or something, but it sure as shit wasn't the flu.

All I know is I got the freaking flu shot this year, and I still got the damn flu! Has never happened before, and seeing how I'm super close to my grandparents and newborn neice and nephew, and trying for a lil one of my own, I will still get the shot every year. It just sucks because I guess it mutated here in Texas…

That's also what happened with the 1918 flu pandemic (Spanish flu) - healthy immune systems overreacted to that particular strain (the "cytokine storm", similar to how Ebola kills), and it turned into a plague for young, healthy people.

Thank you! As someone who has an immunocompromised friend, this is SO IMPORTANT!

YESSSS. I thought the exact same thing. The flu shot does not make you sick. Of all the years I've gotten it, I did have one reaction where I woke up in the middle of night with chills, fever, and aches after getting the shot, which was probably due to me being a bit under the weather to begin with. And it quickly…

I think we need to focus less on the fart and more on the idiot who isn't getting a flu shot.

Ask about natural remedies.
