Exactly. Anyone with even a passing knowledge of etymology would be able to suss out that contra = against. Aren’t the Trumps allegedly kollege edukated?

Shut the whole thing down rn.

It’s almost as if — wait for it — they weren’t all that great.

Thank you. The fact that I used the word “attack” off the cuff to describe an interaction with a black man is an illustration of my privilege and how far I have to go. Seems perfectly innocent in the moment — to me, a lil ole white lady on a blog comment section — but the implications can be (literally) deadly. I get…

I agree with you here — white liberal feminists can display real cognitive dissonance when it comes to intersectionality. As a librarian, I am shocked by the white women lib’rels who are quick to point out misogyny, but are tone deaf on virtually every other social justice issue. this is another topic, but one of the…

Thank you for the clarification, and I apologize for my poor choice of words. I am still learning every day, trying to be better in every way, to be a better ally. As the mother of a white son, I know that my most important work is with him, and I need insights like yours to guide us to be better people.

Do you know what white people hear on a daily basis? I am automatically complicit in the racism of others simply because they think they can let their racist shit fly in a “safe” space with another white. The racism is insidious and comes from unlikely sources. I have lost jobs and disowned family members after…

In an all staff meeting at the library where I work, the director quipped “I don’t know nothin’ about birthin’ no babies,” to describe a situation. This is a liberal white with an advanced degree. Ignorance knows no boundary. This is the same library director who claims that there “are no blacks in [the town the…

ab-so-fuckin-lutely. also sick of WWII POW grandpappy getting a pass for being a racist piece of shit at Thanksgiving. Shut the fuck up, grandpa. Your hate is not welcome at my table, I don’t give a fuck what war you fought in.

In my family, we call people who do this kind of shit to people “Two Chains,” because we’d like to chain them to the back of a pick up truck and drag them til all that’s left is two chains. Like for like.

Yes.

I am a student of Shade Court, and I believe that I have honed my shade skills to near-expert level. I just wrote the shadiest email ever to my boss, and it reads as completely professional and informative — the most politest “fuck you you incompetent entitled slag” document ever created. I am Librarian Mariah.

I’ve let my kid make his own decisions, more or less, about eating and what he chooses to do with his free time. Maybe it’s his nature and not my parenting style, but if he asks for something and I say no he says “Okay, thanks Mom,” without question. He’s in the 99th percentile across the board in school and is a…

I have never understood why people open “time capsules” that are under 100 years old. If you just bury some shit and look back on it again within your lifetime, it’s not a time capsule. It’s just some shit you buried. Any info from within a single lifetime, barring an apocalypse, should contain some fairly easily…

preach. i would rather gouge out, then eat, my own eyeballs than be associated with the testosterone free mush mouths of mumford and sons, who are partially responsible for the modern pussification of music.

I’m well under 80 years old and I’ve heard the term plenty.

This is accurate. They are the #1 source for all goss because their legal team is on top of it. If it’s in People, it can be regarded as troof.
