I save $500 per month to buy a new car. That fund doubles as my car repair fund, because even a relatively big car repair is usually less than one monthly car payment...until now. Who blows a head gasket these days?? On a HONDA!!! Well it is a used Honda. The mechanic showed me some of the parts they had to replace,…

I keep a running “general debt” tab in my budgeting, even though I don’t have debt. It’s completely separate from the budget for everything else, including my walking around money and savings. It’s only to be used for unexpected bills I haven’t budgeted for and nothing else. Not a lot goes into it, about $25 a…

I was in high school in Phx when this was all going down. It was an active rumor that Kevin Johnson liked teenage girls, particularly liked showering with teenage girls. In fact the shower thing is what I distinctly remember. Wouldn’t be surprised if there were others.

I get the discomfort with the video being posted, and I felt some myself before hitting play. For once, though, I think posting rich media evidence does help.

Watching this is chilling. But Im moved by what a fuckin hero this girl is. I can imagine, but have NO idea of how hard this would have to be, in that moment, when hes a huge star, and you are vulnerable young girl, to take this step. Holy smokes. Its easy to step up to the mic when you have support & people behind…

I did a quick google news check and no one is really talking about this. Kudos to Deadspin in getting it out there. Keep going!

I am wondering if any of this will change ESPN’s mind on the broadcast of that documentary. If they don’t update it to address this and other instances, I hope they shitcan it all together.

Jesus, this is chilling.

Because images are more powerful than words. To quote Burneko from earlier today:

Yes.

The video hits a lot closer to home. No contest. I’m sincerely hoping they got the blessing of Koba before posting it, but there’s no mention of it, so hope she’s doing alright with all this.

As if having a stranger’s hands inside your mouth isn’t uncomfortable enough...

As the exhausted patient of a dental practice that blasts Christian music, has Christian “art” everywhere, and whose employees ask me occasionally what church I go to, I say with excitement, sue their Christian asses out of business.

As a former “fresh off the boat” immigrant (what people have called me and my family) I completely believe the nytimes article. You want to meet people who exploit immigrants? Look at their closest community first and foremost. Talk about brutal. This is one area where I think that the “evil white man” is only one of…

It’s hard for me to feel sorry for people who are protesting their right to treat workers like indentured servants, and offensive that they are invoking the “women business owners” bit.

WTH is up with everyone on here like “I wonder what would have happened if person was x and the other was x” JFC this is racism. We all know it. The child was suspended because he’s black. Quit pretending like there’s some other fucking reason.

Sure, insult my family. That’s cool. No way I'd take offense at that or anything.

I wonder if the boy has been bullied in other ways. My brother had an issue at our Catholic school as the lone atheist (I'd thankfully already graduated) where his “friends” turned on him and made really ridiculous accusations against him, and the administration demanded that he see the school counselor or be…

That’s immediately who came to my mind. And this kid didn’t even “whistle”. This situation would be laughable if it weren't so disgraceful.

Could have been worse. Remember the last black kid disciplined for looking at a white girl?
