“Spending time bringing up extreme hypothetical situations wastes time and is a distraction.” People who want to control or exclude another group of people need to create absurd nightmare scenarios to keep said group in their place. An example is how much opposition and pushback home pregnancy tests got for years…

I live in New York and work in fashion, and I don’t know anyone who DOESN’T know about Collette. It’s iconic in Paris like Patricia Field is in New York (or was, because Pat Field also closed recently.) And how Opening Ceremony will ultimately be. That’s like saying a certain NASCAR driver isn’t iconic because you…

Tea is used by drag queens and in the gay community to mean truth, like the dish or dirt/gossip about something or someone. For example “Spill the tea” means “spill it, tell what’s going on” and “hot tea/scalding tea” means really juicy/hot gossip. Think that’s pretty accurate. Ha

Yeah, people gotta have the new PlayStation, $100+ Adele tickets, pay hundreds to travel to Times Square to freeze to death in a packed crowd to watch the ball drop on New Years (New York residents avoid Times Square like the plague) or pay hundreds to go watch NBA or baseball playoffs, but you’re elitist if you pay…

Yup. Im black and live in NYC and have many Puerto Rican friends. They say they got the same talk as kids. Even if something crazy happens, like at a party etc. it’s better to resolve it yourself old school than to EVER call the cops. Most biased cops don’t see a difference between brown perpetrators and brown…

There’s a Daily Show podcast where two of the black writers share their experiences with police and overall racism and the white female writer compares hers. One of the men recalled being like 11 years old playing with friends in his neighborhood and two cops pull up and start grilling them with questions for no…

Same. Black Americans get totally different “talks” and advice from their parents starting in kindergarten because it’s always been a harsh, dangerous, unfair place for us. Don’t ride your bike after 6pm because you’ll probably be stopped on suspicion you stole it, especially if it’s a nice bike. In the winter never…

Because blindly faithful people think that since an all powerful god took the time to make us specially in his image, we’re so special that we’re entitled to prayer fixing any problems on earth, or we’re entitled to a new home. A republican politician, (can’t remember which one in the wake of all this Trump…

Exactly. Tourism is way down when compared to 2015 and 2016. I work in marketing and it’s crazy how in denial people are about the reasons certain industries aren’t making money like they used to. Americans are budgeting way more and being very selective and careful about what little expendable income they have, and…

So did a stand up comedian influence this guy to beat his girlfriend and daughter in 2006, or send hateful political letters to the editor years ago? Did you read the gunman’s history? It’s a very childish viewpoint to grasp at straws to blame everyone but the guilty party. But this approach somehow never applies to…

And whenever you point out the contradictions in religion their eyes glaze over and they either just repeat that God’s will is too complex for us mere mortals to understand, or that they want to end the conversation because they shouldn’t have to defend their faith. That’s the out that they have. Faith is just…

Ha, so true. Reminds me of a really great Mad TV sketch called “nice white lady” that spoofs Dangerous Minds. The nice white lady said something in a calm, pretty, hopeful tone. It’s obviously true.

There’s a really heartbreaking documentary about food insecurity in the US, and how hard it is for normal working people to make ends meet for myriad reasons. One woman who grew up poor and became an elementary school teacher volunteered bringing meals to families. She talked about how the stress of not having a…

Yeah, I went to the Women’s March, and a few protests in New York. 500,000 people protesting in Washington didn’t stop the damage they’re doing to women’s health/rights. I still haven’t completely lost hope, will call/donate etc., and would probably still rally to go to more protests, but these men are hell bent on…

This country was cultivated on stolen land using stolen people. The backwards systems and “might is right” mindset reflect that. The US has a lot of healing to do before any progress can be made, but as long as toxic masculinity rules the land we’re a long way off from that. This is why I don’t hesitate to shut down…

He clearly didn’t visit the homepage of the Women’s March on Washington. I along with 500,000 other women know who the black women are who are doing real work for real change, not following in Anne Coulter’s weak footsteps spewing controversial crap for attention like Tomi. Try again, the self hate is real. I was…

Oprah

Solange, Amandla Stenberg, Michelle Obama, all of the black career activists who organized the Women’s March. Black Women know who our leaders are, we just aren’t blond Fox News barbies so we don’t get mainstream backing. What Tomi does is show business, not leadership. She’s just conventionally pretty for mindless…

There seem to be an abnormally high number of concern trolls in comments sections in the past year. This poster is very similar to the one who said that society failed Aaron Hernandez, and “shame on commenters celebrating his suicide since he left behind a child.” Neglecting the fact that no one was celebrating, they…

Emphasis on “miss him.” He caused them to miss him. They are not in grave danger like the complex family units of elephants that he killed. Missing someone and grieving=hard and sad. Grave danger=being frightened out into the open by dogs and gunned down, leaving behind defenseless elephant calves.
