Unfortunately this is basic due process. People have the right to defend themselves before facing legal consequences. Basic due process is that someone accused of wrong doing gets to know when, where, and who of the accusation.

That’s guaranteed!

One of my former (Black female) students was admitted to Brown on a full scholarship. She loved her experience there, and she got an excellent education. She’s since earned an M.S. in public health and is working on her M.D. at UCSD.

If Brown is willing to give this opportunity to a large number of Black students for a…

You know, Prince William, if you feel uncomfortable now, imagine how your SIL has been feeling all this time.

I would like to note that I hope Prince William gets more and more uncomfortable as time goes on.

There’s this stuff called Sudocrem. I’ve only ever seen it in Ireland. Madge has a tub of it on her sink/counter. It’s the little grey tub over her left shoulder. #IrishTwitter has gone all:

Referencing The Sun as a source removes all credibility. If that “news” paper told me that grass was green I’d go outside and double check then get an eye examination to verify my eyesight was working properly. And the man that has established and run high profile mental health organizations over many years has plenty…

I really don’t understand the snark about Harry, but on the other hand, why should I waste my time explaining that Harry seems to have been doing worthwhile things that give him a background suited for the jobs he’s taking to someone who apparently doesn’t read the comments?  

I know he’s a grown man and all, but these style of pap photos always remind me that these folks never get a quiet moment when they can just walk their dog in peace, even when they are masked.

A month ago we were lamenting and regretting how we’d all been complicit in exploiting Britney Spears while her mental illness was raging. Now here’s Claudia Conway.  Why are we pretending this is ok? 

Wouldn’t it be marvelous if some of the Kardashian clan were seen to be doing some good and selfless things for their fellow Americans with all those millions (maybe billions). As big time influencers, maybe they could be doing some influencing towards something other than personal self interest.

Fitting that you bring up The Good Place, a show whose entire message is rooted in the beautiful idea that people can grow and change, and that we are not all the worst thing we’ve ever done.

It’s so telling who we allow to “grow” and “learn” from past shitty behavior and who we don’t. This WOC made some shitty dumb tweets when she was a teenager, but Ted Danson did a literal minstrel show as an adult and we still love him on The Good Place. Kelly Osbourne implied the only people who clean toilets for a…

I’ll be honest, it’s really difficult to view this as some feel-good moment or victory worthy of celebration. Essentially someone lost their job for tweets they made ten years ago when they 17 years old? And I’m not going to defend those tweets as they were idiotic, but this punishment feels wildly overt considering…

I would love to know the racial composition of the group of Teen Vogue employees who are probably patting themselves on the back now for getting a Black woman (and an outsider at the company to boot!) fired from a high profile EIC job before she even started it, based on racist Tweets that were clearly more ignorant…

People need to remove their feelings from anything that isn’t personal to them alone.

There’s also the, uh, interesting case of a mountain of debt disappearing right before the confirmation hearings were set to begin.

When women stand up for themselves it’s labelled “you have a bad attitude”, “why can’t you just get along with everyone”, “we don’t want to upset that person, so whatever they did to you, just take it”.

I’m sure the cops would point out that they told women to stay home “for their own safety.” Bad men out in the night hurting women always equals “women need to be more careful” and not “men need to cut this shit out.” Because that’s how cops roll. 

Sharon gave a master class on white fragility and white female victimhood live and in color and got dragged by black twitter in real time. And had the nerve (the unmitigated gaul) to do it in defense of piers morgan.
