It could just be a DC thing but I think Starbucks is generally pretty good about hiring [I'll probably get shit on by somebody no matter what term I use so insert whichever euphemism for 'handicapped' doesn't offend you here.] I generally see a fair amount of mentally or developmentally challenged people bussing…

No idea. Just the first thing that came up in a google search for "Kurta."

Huh?

Not having power on the macro scale doesn't mean you lack power on the micro scale. It's entirely possibly for a Hispanic neighborhood to exhibit institutional racism against, say, Black people.

It's kurta being a how it stops at the knee. It's worn throughout North India. The galabiya is full-length and worn in Arabarabistan.

Ha!

"I'm here all day folks."

"Since there have always been women and people of color happy to join in with the chorus of "You're diluting racism/sexism by talking about it!" (and, of course, happily receiving the bennies that come their way from the majority when they do so), the fact that you're Jewish and also tell other Jewish people that…

I prefer to be bromanced first.

When Cookie Monstress tells you it's important to eat healthy. . .well. . .

If Shepard Fairey's "Hope" picture doesn't violate the AP's copyright, this doesn't violate Maise's.

I always carbonated beverages until I had real ginger ale for the first time. Now I loves me some bubbles.

If you're like me and have an extremely high genetic predisposition for heart disease and diabetes, you will need to regulate your diet like an athlete in training. In fact, it probably behooves you to be an athlete in training if you want to stay healthy in old age. Trying to diagnose people like me of an eating…
