Yeah, not at all surprising. For more than a year, I was stalked and harassed at MIT by an individual who had already been arrested for felony violence - I documented everything, followed protocol in reporting, worked with administrators, the ombuds and police, and they not only blew off my concerns - they repeatedly…

My incredibly lovely mother was adopted, and when she was 30, she met her bio dad for the first time. It did not go well. He immediately assumed she wanted money (she wanted nothing of the sort) and shut her down. It was unbelievably and permanently hurtful. She never saw him again.

Which is to say: Danielle - you are…

My dad always screams at the TV, “What was going through your elbow????” When they ask what was going through your mind. SMH.

Did every one of the reporters’ questions sound exceptionally (maybe willfully) dumb, or is it just me?

“This in no way represents the whole work that is done every day.”
“This is not the person I am.”
“This does not represent who I am; I’m not racist.”

WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE? Why do they all say this?? Was a new racism playbook released recently that dictates that you have to deny that this is the…

And cheers to youuuu! :-)

By the way, because of your sharing of this shop, I ordered two for my Mum. You are right, Upasana is so helpful. Can’t wait to receive the caftans. Thanks for putting me on to this shop!

This has been happening to me too, more and more. I can’t tell you how many times recently I’ve been on the phone to Amazon trying to track down a package that was “delivered” by UPS, FedEx AND the Postal Service. They mark it delivered and they know perfectly well it ain’t delivered. One time I had to file a police…

I firmly believe it’s the ancestors coming through their voices.

Sorry, better link:

Have you seen Noah’s off-the-cuff London standup show about the royal wedding - delivered on Saturday night, just a few hours after the royal wedding? He’s so brilliant: http://bit.ly/2s2g9K5

I cried my way through this powerful and important piece.

I think that the endgame of this perplexing and nauseating brand of white male anger, the fantasy, the utopian ideal for them, would be to annihilate everyone who doesn’t look like them. They don’t seem to care if this is achieved on a piecemeal basis by murderous cops and mass shooters, or executed on a large scale,…

Nah.... you’re not making it up at all. You’re seeing reality with clear eyes. It’s like all the coverage of the dog that died on United (admittedly inhumane and unnecessary) and comparatively little mention of Draylen Mason, the beautiful young man who was killed by A MF PACKAGE BOMB in a hate crime in Austin. I…

After all, if you’re mad at O.J., you should be mad at anyone who kills an innocent, unarmed, defenseless human being and gets away with it.

Sure, of course! They way they cast here is pretty different to the casting criteria for (UK-based) creativity-based reality shows, such as the Great British Bake-off, the Great Pottery Throwdown, and even the US-based Work of Art. Those shows, while they certainly chose contestants with charisma, were apparently not…

The application for this show’s auditions was going around my studio last year - they ask you about like a thousand different arts and crafts in which you might be proficient - and although most of us have been professional artists for decades, we were intimidated! There were also a lot of questions that were clearly…

Racism is not a “hobby,” lady. The diminishing, gaslighting language and lies give me a rage stroke.

You nailed it: these people have no sense of history, context, irony, nor, I would add, human empathy.

Thank you for speaking truth. Thank you.
