I definitely see your point and agree that a lot of it is performative, but I don’t know that adding to the noise is a bad thing if the noise is saying “NO MORE” no matter what its personal motivations for saying it are.

listening to rich famous people whose only qualifications are being rich and famous is absolutely a disease (arguably shouldn’t listen to them even if they have qualifications because money and fame tend to make people forget what the world is really like for 99% of people) but i’m not sure saying they should all just…

maybe i’m just stupid but i do not grasp how adding more voices to a message that clearly has not yet been heard is... bad?? i get annoyed that people pressure me to be married and if someone asked me about it i would talk about it too????? i dont understand this crime.

not a guy, didnt major in sociology, went to a very affordable public school, got tuition paid for in scholarships but took out loans to pay for a place to live cause everyone in my family was dirt fucking poor and couldn’t help and there aren’t a lot of choices for higher education near where i lived in eastern ky,…

what’s up just wanted to say bootstraps are a myth, your struggles should make you more compassionate for those who follow you and not determined to make them suffer just because you did, and finally, you’re a dick

have you mayhaps considered it is an important cycle we go through that the idols of teens share the same messages that the idols of teens before them did because.... the teens are listening to their own idols and not yours???? perhaps a thing does not need to be original to be important??? 

or like... maybe we shouldn’t demand other people suffer through the same trials we suffered?? maybe we should want those to come after us to do better, to be better, to have better. maybe, just maybe, we should support each other and be proud of those who are demanding better and calling out the bullshit that plagued…

fairly sure not naming the person is in an effort to not do more damage to their anonymity my friend

this is incredible writing

I have never needed Fyre Festival news as badly as I did today. Thank you.

I did not start wearing makeup until a few years ago and as an ugly person with a serious skin condition let me tell you, Zadie Smith can fuck right off. Some days I have fun with it, but most days it is a chore I do not love. But I do it because people are kinder to me now. No one has asked me what’s wrong with my…

I am a person without a sense of smell, but this all smells fishy to me.

they’re good dogs, brent

“cuck Donald Trump right up his taco bowl”

Yeah, I live in Hillsborough too and this just really boggles my mind. Most folk here don’t even want to talk about politics in public, much less go all arson and graffiti about it. I am glad no one was hurt, but genuinely astounded this happened. My only guess is maybe someone overindulged at the fair and came home…

Shoutout to everyone involved with this for unnecessarily tying up emergency services and creating traffic during a hurricane.

You beat me to saying exactly this.

I’m sure there is an element of sexism to this, but could it be impossible that a New Orleans paper is choosing to frame this story around the husband because he’s an athlete for a New Orleans team? I get as exhausted as everyone else by women being treated as accessories to men’s lives, but in this case I think it…

That is both very sad and a very good way to make your kid grow to resent you/math. It probably comes from a well-meaning place, but it is still very sad. I hope that kid grows up and learns to laugh about it and discovers cartoons and sugar-y cereal or whatever it is kids do nowadays later in life.

I didn’t see in the article anywhere what his course load was like, but if I had to guess I’d say he’s probably just taking a few math classes for right now. But I can’t tell you how disappointed and uncomfortable I would’ve been to show up to a class and find a child there.
