Don’t get me wrong, it’s an incredibly fucked up system and I’m not defending it at all. It’s tragic. But them’s the breaks - she just doesn’t have the same kind of academic freedom as an adjunct.

I’ve the same problem, but interesting conversations are happening all over this thread to try and figure it out!

As someone in academia, I tend to agree. This is a really interesting story to me from that standpoint alone (and again, she could probably give an interesting lecture on it).

I should clarify, because you’re right: her degree is still valid, as is some of the expertise she carries with it. But I think she has 100% earned a reputation as someone who is dishonest.

I get that there is a certain amount of trolling afoot.

However to villify someone to the extent that Kara Brown has you sorta owe it to your reading public to justify that level of bile. Who has Rachel Dolezal really harmed, aside from maybe herself with her own identity issues? What horrible things has this woman…

The unfortunate truth is that you real problem with Rachel Dolezal is that you would have never doubted her blackness had she not been outed by her mom.

If nobody had outed her, you’d be lauding her as an exemplary individual who championed the rights of black people in her capacity as NAACP chair.

Nice job trying to shit on Lynne Ramsay’s reputation with your wording...

If you really are wondering about this, use the frelling google and do some research. You will find numerous accounts from people who has been deeply traumatized by beeing raped while unconscious.
Just asking the question straight out and at the same time claiming that you don’t want to be “flippant, trollish or…

i didn’t get that, i thought the person calling for police intervention saw it online.

WTF. Why are you distributing these images in this post, and via Twitter?!?! It’s completely insensitive to your readers and to the victim. You’ve been click-bait for some time, but this is just disgusting.

Winona, Kate Moss, Claire Danes (but only as Angela Chase), Liv Tyler, Courtney Love in a weird way...those were my middle school and high school “it girls.” I also screwed up my eyebrows because of Drew Barrymore’s - man, she was EVERYTHING there for a while when she reemerged- YM cover. Alicia Silverstone one of a…

Er...humorous value aside, does this seem to anyone else like a cheap way for pizza hut to create 1,5oo unpaid jobs?

I think I actually didn’t communicate what I was trying to say- started with Clara Bow and had been around as you noted but I was trying to say that the term was even popular before Edie’s distinction. I think she was such a new and distinctive and modern creature that she got more press than many previous “it girls”…

Disagree, I think Ragnar’s got a whole simmering, smouldering thing that works. Love me some Rollo too tho.

dude whatever id watch ragnar sitting on a stump and cleaning his fingernails for 10 hours

im inferring from your use of tenses that i will be v happy after i get through the rest of season 3

The spelling was off, but his hair was perfect.

Ugh Athelstan was the worst. But we should be getting a new season soonish?

I STAND BY IT
