This has nothing to do with our subject, but if you think sexuality is binary then you are missing the fuck out.

Chalk that up to artistic license and her ‘brand;’ the musical culture that she’s in encourages creativity and one-ups-manship. It IS white supremacy to hold her to a standard of speech for which an entire subgenre of musicians is lauded. Call her a Noise musician and watch her earn a Grammy.

I agree. Because of generations of children with learning disorders and interrupted educations from... oh god anything, we have a large contingent of people who were never able to complete their education to their preferred level. A huge group of them want to learn still, and will find any way to do so. Autodidactism…

R A C I S M!

Yeah, personal growth is always the goal. My worry is that when she ‘apologized’ for the instagram video threatening to rape her fiancee and used a slur, she put the onus of explaining slurs on trans folk. The whole thing was a mess and she got dragged again, but she has not said anything further.

And because of her unsupportive home life had to drop out and work. But she didn’t stop learning... which is in her interview. Just because she attended for a while doesn’t mean that what she knows now is directly related to what she was taught then. She picked up the threads of her own education, but may have missed…

For real. Some dipshit I just dismissed called me an “obsessed fan,” uhm no, is reading comprehension no longer taught at troll academy? I only ever read about her here on Jez and mostly just to remind people about how bigoted she is, and continues to be. I definitely don’t listen to her music, or even her genre. lol.

Fair, but I’ve seen a few comments along this line and thought it bore addressing. 

No, she only sounds ‘stupid’ if you have white supremacist ideals of English language usage. Because it’s a living language with multiple colonized cultures participating in the growth of the language her usage is no less valid than that of an upper middleclass suburbanite’s, nor an Australian aboriginal’s, nor the…

I think it’s interesting to see people’s reaction to her accent and vocabulary choices. She IS educated, if not via a standard, completed degree. Autodidacts like her can have more in-depth information on the subject of their choice than an average Master’s degree holder, but the drawback is they can miss whole chunks…

I can respect Cardi’s mind and her work ethic, be interested to hear her political views, love to chat with her about FDR’s New Deal’s impact on world politics, surmise with her on the impact Elenor had on his personal politics and STILL be pissed as fuck at her for her anti-trans statements.

Why?

When I read that tidbit on NPR’s website this morning I laughed until I got an asthma attack. That is... a hell of a tattoo.

I’m really lucky. My dad’s white-trash Appalachian-adjacent family alienated the hell out of my mother so we had little to do with them growing up.

Same. We bought our 15 Leaf used from Carmax over the summer, for less than 10k. It had less than 24k miles on the odometer and smells like pepperoni pizza inside, so that’s what my kid named it.

I appreciate Siddiq’s efforts for the camera. I know that 6 days post partum my hair was 5 days dirty and I had given up utterly on clothing.

god help me... this is how my niece talks. I can follow it.

Its been 2+ YEARS since Pitt’s foundation quit on the Manheim Park deal here and nothing has been done. Truly, from the bottom of this Kansas Citian’s heart, fuck Make It Right, and fuck Brad Pitt.

Maybe? My uncle’s joke every time my cousin comes up with a new symptom was “Well it’s not scurvy.”

I have a cousin who went thru what her mom still calls ‘a citrus binge’ when she was in her late teens that freaked out her pediatrician and dentist. Her vitamin C levels were off the charts high, and she didn’t have any deficit in her general nutrition that would account for it. Now she’s in her mid thirties and is…
