“Why white allies especially, as opposed to the larger category of all whites?”

He’s a high school junior???

What if we framed the question as “Would you like the covid vaccine? If not we’ll give it to antifa/poor/democrat/gay/minority/atheist people or adherents of another religion.” I think some would get it if it meant that meant someone from outside of their cult couldn’t, just out of spite.

That is exactly the story I was thinking of when I read that. Uh, okay, but if you believe that he will help you, why would you not believe that he is giving you tools (boat/copter in this story, vaccine in the real world) as help? 

Nah, fuck this. You don’t get to say no to this. On most accounts, for almost everything I say you need to get consent but not this. Not masks either. You go to a store, you put on your goddamn mask like a fucking adult. You want to exercise your religious freedom? Fuck your religion and fuck your freedom, I’m done…

Wackadelic.

I don’t know if it’s that it’s sharing things “she wants to keep private” as much as the fact that it’s speculating wildly about intimate and personal details of her life without her involvement or consent, the same way the tabloids do. What if we all just literally left Britney alone, let her make music and dance…

This is what happens when Prince Albert is allowed out of the can.

Bet Ted Cruz would love to have you come over for soup and to show you his fingernail collection.

Normally I am the first to point this out, but in this case it is less relevant: Musk and Bezos have meaningful control over billions of dollars, and shit tonnes of actual cash. It is all imaginary until money until someone tries to take it from them.

Wait, do y’all have a limited number of sick days you can take ?
And if you’re sick more, you ... don’t get paid or anything ?

That’s lovely... Out here is Socialismland the only days I’ve ever given was a week of vacation time to a coworker whose kid had leukemia.
We get sick days every day we are sick. Because of…

Wouldn’t be wonderful if we had a system of health care that people wouldn’t have to depend on the kindness of strangers?

I completely get where Rice is coming from. The performative aspects of Mallory at the Grammys with Lil’ Baby - and I do not want this to be a statement on the authenticity of their actual feelings on BLM - makes me uncomfortable because it smacks of neoliberalism once again absorbing, co-opting, and/or appropriating…

It makes me wonder about the whole process - Dr. Ford’s allegation, while obviously credible, wasn’t enough to sink Kavanaugh’s nomination on its own so I think the Republicans only agreed to have her testify in order to distract people from questioning the debt repayment.

Shannon, if you haven’t already done so, you should check out the writings of Rachel Held Evans and add her to your nightstand, too.

To the stupid troll who thought he had something (didn’t Alanis appropriately hand your ass to you enough to dissuade these public outbursts???): I understand why someone might think you’re an asshole, but what exactly is it about my statement “So every white asshole in the country thinks there’s no harm, no foul when…

It’s always the potato-faced motherfuckers.

Something that is sometimes overlooked in discussions of billionaires donating to charity is how much money $1 billion is for the receiving party. It’s fundamentally challenging to responsibly donate billions of dollars because almost no one is equipped to handle that much cash. (This is another good reason why we…

Can’t she be nice without making it about revenge? 

...private school teacher who announced that he had married Scott and that TOGETHER they planned to give away the majority of THEIR wealth.
