I’ve missed its use as a punchline anywhere, thankfully.

That was a smart bit of marketing.

I’m sorry, who the fuck thinks Mommie Dearest is a camp comedy? Last I remembered it was a horrifyingly realistic movie about child abuse.

When they protested Justine Damond’s death from a white cop, they weren’t castigated for being anti-cop.

Thank you for that helpful list. I may have pinpointed the misunderstanding here. I wasn’t asking for help or advice on how to fix the problem - that was a rhetorical question. I meant, “I think understanding the psychology of why people do this can be a useful tool in fighting it.”

Everything I post to you, I type and erase and rewrite 4-5 times trying to figure out how not to cause offense. Clearly it’s not working, so I’ll drop it.

It was ungreyed before I replied! I know better than that.

I know #crimingwhilewhite got a ton of blowback, but I really wish more white people heard these stories.

The gap between male and female suicide rates practically disappears when you look at combat veterans only. Turns out women with gun experience succeed about as much as men do.

In other news, the National Rifle Association allows handgun owners to join and the Eagle Forum has nothing to do with eagles.

Yes to all of this.

And this is a white-collar job making probably above median pay for my area. It’s a temporary situation for me (I will have more assets + child support when the divorce is finished, plus my boyfriend makes more) so I’m not complaining, but I can’t imagine what it’s like for people who don’t have the…
