Hi there! My grandmother was Mexican. She grew up Mexican in Ohio in the 1940s. We don’t know what that was like because she refused to talk about it. She raised the kids she had with a second-Generation Russian Jew, ranging in shades from light brown to you can’t really tell, to be as white as possible in the NY…

I was starting to get nauseous about halfway through because the last thing we should be doing is giving more airtime to this whiny little shit. And then I saw your comment and felt better. <3

Hetero men: treat women like they are the captains of their own bodies. That is all.

Oh, yeah, field trips. :/ I spent a lot of time stuck at school while other kids went on a field trip. I wonder if my teachers thought my parents were just strict and wouldn’t sign the slip, though.

It’s weird, but my parents somehow managed to make it work with food. A lot of the processed meals were too expensive for us. But for me, it’s socks. I spent many years with stinky, gross feet in inappropriate footwear because I only had the one pair of shoes and no socks. As an adult, I can’t break myself of the…

Thank you! I mean, I will probably end up watching this, no lies, but that is exactly the first thing I thought when I saw this. Also, isn’t it sort of buying into the antiquated idea, by always presenting it as shocking that white people in the suburbs would be violent/abusive/sell drugs/whatever, that the rest of us…

Well, I did my part but who knows anyway.

“I will pray for America.” hahahah oh god he sucks. Yay, small victories!

If you and I are thinking of the same restaurant on Baltimore, I *ahem* had my 21st birthday there a few times...

HOLY SHIT I USED TO LIVE AROUND THE CORNER FROM THERE. Also, I ate at Abyssinia all the time! The food was great, but my absolutely #1 favorite spot was Saad’s, about a block away at the corner of 46th and I think Walnut. Did you ever go there? Did you go to those 3 crazy thrift stores? Did you do laundry? I love that…

I know it sucks to think about leaving the city, but what if you live right outside? Lansdowne and Fernwood Yeadon are right outside the city and the rent is exponentially cheaper. I also wonder what the rents are like near 69th st in Upper Darby.

Little soldier! <3

lolololol at this comment surrounded by the context of a TON of fucking murder ballads about dudes killin’ ladies.

He doesn’t explicitly kill her in the song, but I don’t think things end well for the girl referenced in Lead Belly’s In the Pines.

Ah yes, Democrats are all fat-cat coastal elites who eat lettuce and shit. This shit just won’t die, will it?

Then again, she just Instagrammed an Anne Frank quote...so maybe not.

You’re right! In the original, his nose has caved in.

#notallRussianJews but I feel the need to point out that my great-aunt is a Russian Jew. Her mother was raped by Russian soldiers during a pogrom during or after WWI and she hates Donald Trump with such a furious passion that my (liberal!) dad was shocked and I was like, “Yes! Go you.” She was born and raised in New…

If the Scarlet Pimpernel (70s version, I will see no substitutions) taught me anything, it’s not the size of the shoulders that matters, but how you tie your cravat. Wink.

Oh, but having two feet of dirt on your hem because your dress has to be to the ground!
