EMDR changed my life! It’s still far from perfect, and I still suffer from anxiety and depression, but it’s so much better, and so much easier to dig myself out of when I go to those dark places. 

I quit my previous job bc of toxic coworkers, with no backup plan, no health insurance, no college degree, nothing.

Same. ♡

Honestly, the regular BA videos were a huge part of my entertainment, especially during the start of quarantine. The team were all just so fun to watch and it was educational/ helped me really take my home cooking to another level. Needless to say, I am sad to hear that Conde Nast has done everything in their power to…

A friend of mine and I had the conversation this weekend about how losing the restaurant business has also meant losing any semblance of a back up plan. I had an abusive boss several years ago and was ready to give up my career for a mental break. I was dead serious that if I couldn’t find something else, then I could…

I haven’t seen cops anywhere wearing masks. Not in my surrounding area and not online.

I work downtown in the city in which I live and frequently see homeless people and panhandlers on the street from my window. They are a constant reminder of the consequences of quitting my job in order to bring peace to my soul. 

Quitting my job might bring peace to my soul, but I would also have no money. 

I'll give the Tl;dr warning right now. I'm a teacher and a parent. Our BOE voted last night to start virtually for six weeks. Many parents are not happy. I get it. I'd much rather be in school with my students, and I'd much rather my son start his freshman year at his school in person. However, throwing open the doors…

My friend’s daughter actually attends this school.  They opted for distance learning choice in lieu of in-person school and they are so glad they did. I just feel sorry for the daughter, who is a senior this year and who will most likely not have the chance to participate in the senior-year milestones/activities.

Despite recommendations from CDC health officials, the district has called mask-wearing a “personal choice” and said that social distancing “will not be possible to enforce” in “most cases.” While the school provided teachers with face shields and masks and encouraged staff and students to wear them, they are not…

Alaska is getting ready to gear up the in-person schools even as Anchorage, in effect our capitol and literally our largest city, just locked down for 4 weeks minimum. One of my kid’s educators admitted that the higher-ups have been having virtual meetings with the teachers...to tell those teachers, via a screen, that…

Any student found criticizing the school on social media could face disciplinary consequences.

I’ll turn your question back on you.

Is it colorism to point out colorism? Here’s a hint: is it racism to point out racism?

The only people misinterpreting this are white people. What a surprise!

I am not sure why so many people are claiming this could be interpreted as a conservative cartoon making fun of BLM and people who wear masks. It’s very clear from the facial expressions with whom you’re supposed to sympathize, and it ain’t the white anti-masker.

Really? I read it immediately as making fun of white people who minimize the problems black people face (and are the majority of supporters for the anti-science GOP). 

My “first glance” assessment was the opposite of yours and apparently many others. I’ve studied the image to see why and can’t put my finger on it, other than the word “silly.”

I call B.S. on anyone who allegedly thought this cartoon trivialized BLM. At best, they flunked basic reading comprehension. At worst, their continued ignorance and obliviousness to the impact of white supremacy and the pandemic on POC highlights the problem.

Why are people so scared to offend the racists? The same people that make jokes about snowflakes and participation trophies, are somehow too sensitive to be called out, in a comic, about their racist bullshit?
