I am so tired of this idiotic “most violence affecting the black community comes from black community” non-argument from disingenuous racists. The vast majority of ALL violence is intra-racial; that statistic is utterly meaningless because it applies to virtually everyone, everywhere. Most violence affecting the white…

Yeah, I’d be a lot more hesitant if they were calling on her to be banned from the theater, or fired from her job. Not inviting her and not giving her a free ticket? That’s pretty much the perfect response, frankly.

*reads article, sees list of pretty shitty/racist things said by critic*

When the writer references Elgort being mentioned on Jezebel staff writer Bobby Finger’s excellent podcast Who? Weekly

I know she has spoken extensively about growing up in poverty, and how her parents still tried very hard to expose her to art, music & literature. I bet libraries were a huge part of her childhood, so it makes se see that she is involved with them—-& she probably also donates money & serves on some boards.

I, for one, am not the least bit scared of getting rid of an international threat who happens to be our president. I’m not down with the concern-trolling and learned helplessness.

So we don’t have to wax our ass crack anymore?

Once, when I apologized for my unshaven legs during the early part of of our courtship (‘cause after like seven dates that shit is out the window unless I feel like it), my now-husband said, “Men don’t care about the rough, they just want to get on the green.” Now, my husband is neither a golfer nor a dudebro, so I…

Well now, many guys do care what they look like. But that’s not a reason to feel self conscious.

I don’t use instagram, but I understand it has a “flag this post” kind of thing, yes? Is it like kinja’s, with little bubble options to explain why you’re flagging it? Is one of the options “unlabeled spon con” or something?

I saw someone calling snakes “Nope Ropes” on Facebook yesterday. It spoke to my soul.

Does an Instant Pot make sense for someone who is single? I’m asking for a sad, lonely friend. Also, I’m too lazy to Google and I’m engaging a cult member about their cult, so I know you’ll tell me. Thanks!

Yes, Kara join the instant pot cult. You will never regret it.

This is the perfect encapsulation of everything wrong in the general population right now.

“He [Trump] said we shouldn’t worry about rising sea levels,” Eskridge said. “He said that ‘your island has been there for hundreds of years, and I believe your island will be there for hundreds more.’”

RE: how much guidance students got:

When you see teacher turnover like that, it is because of the principal. Even in high-poverty schools, where the students have a lot of challenges, most teachers will tell you that the kids aren’t the problem. It’s the lack of support from administration. My school had 25% teacher turnover this year. We lost some…

“I don’t want to take anything away from any of these kids.”

I don’t want to take anything away from any of these kids…

Middle school teacher here. Between the slime and the fidget spinners, I’m about to lose my mind. (Not that these things aren’t better than the alternative, but still!)
