As a recently minted 50-year-old, let me address my fellow middle-agers.* Nowhere in this world is there a 17-year-old girl waiting for her 18th birthday so she can take a shot at your sagging scrotum.

I doubt that this is specific to Mormons. I think a number of conservative religious leaders would take the same approach.

Given the circumstances of the way this movie was made (it was put into production before the first book was released and the physical descriptions of the characters that note their heritage don’t appear in the first novel), I think the issue here is more that Hollywood has a problem with picturing every major…

But this is still bullshit though.

I get SNAP benefits. I can feed my family, and well, with money left over each month.

Oh look, it’s a program that Trump and his enablers think mostly affects black and brown people that are actually overwhelmingly used by the poor white folks who voted for Donald Trump to stop the colored folk from mooching off the system they themselves are using.

Listen, I know your white adjacency is really important to you, but you will never, ever be anything more than a pet to them. Hopefully you’ll come to your senses and recover some of your dignity.

I’m an American-born child of Chinese immigrants. While Bari’s comments (and subsequent “if you were offended, that says more about your intentions than mine!!!” response) were disappointing, to any POC, especially Latinix and Asian POC, this is exactly 0% shocking. We get othered all the time, even in the country of…

how is that a goof? what part of Chinese food is related to South Koreans? what the actual fuck white people why are you continually the fucking worst? PF chang’s exists cuz white people needed to remove salt from chinese food, add some sugar and jack up the prices.

Excuse me?!

Oh yeah! Your resolution is the best so far and I can see that the one thing I thought was missing-Michelle’s eye crease- is right there. Thank-you:)

I also thought it didn’t look like her until someone on the Jezebel thread posted a high resolution picture. It’s definitely her but I think you need to see it in person best.

People can hate on Amy Sherald (and they are), but I love both these portraits. Michelle’s especially is so different that people seem to not care for it on sight.

This is the kind of stuff I point to when people ask me why I get so worked up about religion. It’s the insidious nature of things like this.

I’ll tell you the whitest thing I saw all week:

THANK YOU.

Yes, this country had a lengthy and ugly history of forcibly sterilizing people deemed “degenerates” (unwed mothers for example), “imbeciles”, and the “racially inferior”.

Lord, this subject - people have such short memories about what a grave history of injustice our country has, including America’s use of forced sterilization as a tool in the white supremacy/eugenics arsenal. My husband and I are foster/adoptive parents of three kids, born to a woman with a drug addiction who has had…

Let’s not be too hasty, I’m sure he voluntarily castrated himself with a glowing hot pair of sheers that time he had a few too many drinks too...

I think you might be lactose intolerant.
