“Cell” is those red blood thingies that help to keep us alive.

Colorism is soul crushing for some of us, and we should never back away from discussing it and evolving past it. My husband is a grown man who still harbors the painful memory of the girl he asked to senior prom. She ultimately backed out of the date, telling him he was “too dark” and she did not think the prom…

Valid criticism isn’t “tearing people down.” Jesus.

Miranda did great. He could also do better.

You’re right. All those good intentions have done so much to change outcomes. We dark skinned and Black people are so grateful for your good intentions.

Seeing a lot of tears in the greys. Colorism is a topic everybody loves to give lip service to but never has the courage to tackle; it's always a football to be kicked down the road. It truly is a firm brainwashing of virtually all poc.

That is just a plain reading of their policy as previously stated in the article. 

Subway has a long history of trying to fuck over everyone. They used to have a clause in their franchise agreements where Subway could seize and purchase any franchise without cause. In 1989, the U.S. Small Business Administration refused small business loans to Subway franchise owners until Subway removed that…

What if people don’t have someone to teach them? Is that their fault?

British for burner, maybe just English, I’m not sure if it’s a regional term but I have heard it.

So, they’ve decided, instead of making money from their customers, to make money from their franchisees?  This is the kind of silly stuff that caused Quiznos to implode.

This is my method:

Maybe, just maybe, I might want to melt butter in a Pyrex measuring cup for, say, popcorn (which I’m making in an air popper, but that’s a different debate) because it’s easier to pour from. And also - for the sake of argument - I don’t want to dirty a measuring cup *and* and pan. And... melting butter in the…

No brand of butter that I’m aware of puts more than 1g of salt per tablespoon of butter. If you are measuring down to the gram level, remove 1 gram per tablespoon of salted butter you are adding.

...the Environmental Protection Agency declared the burning of wood to be carbon neutral in 2018.

And threatened a group punishment if he didn’t do it, that’s brutal. Nothing like prison yard psychology of turning groups against the individual. Not really sure what he was supposed to learn here, other than ‘fuck these coaches’. Get him to run some laps or do extra PT, sure, but maybe just cut him some slack if he…

Having graduated (twice!) from an SEC school, it really floors me that there is a multi-million dollar endowment for athletics along with huge budget shortfalls for academics.

Because America treats sports like a religion? 

Reports say the student missed a “voluntary workout”, which led his coach to impose this punishment at the next workout. Which makes me, as someone who never played high school football, wonder why coaches go apeshit at players for missing *voluntary* activities. THAT’S the infraction that would prompt a coach to…

Here’s a wacky idea: just don’t call it a croissant. People have expectations for what a croissant is, this is something different. I clicked into the article and the pastry itself looks tasty, just not a croissant.
