It’s amazing just how well good pilots operate. It’s as if in an emergency they shut down all the extraneous parts of themselves, and only the analytic and expert stuff comes out. It’s not like they’re machines - quite the opposite, they make decisions and improvise in ways machines simply can’t - but rather, as if…

uh, no, honey, you’re a racist if you touch a black person’s hair without their permission because you feel like you’ve just got a white right to do whatever you want with this entire other human person’s body

She’s not talking about others or speaking for them. She’s only talking about herself and what’s right for her. Her body, her experience, her choice.

Part of it might be because of articles like this one, which treat anything Beyonce does as being the greatest anything in the history of everything. She’s hardly the first performer to get that treatment, and most of the fawning done over those types is met with eye rolls and a time check.

The girls asked to do this. How about focusing on giving these girls a chance to be kids. They’re becoming a community, they’re making friendships that may last a lifetime and they’re Doing something they feel proud about. I agree that there are some issues with the way the transfer of money is structured, but this is…

Wait, why would her simply sleeping in a tee-pee considered cultural appropriation?

“Today I put my hand on a Bible. I wasn’t under oath when I wrote that book”. Queen.

Diana, I’m not trying to be rude, but you really need to brush up on your proofreading skills.

HAHAHA! Right?! TLC should totally only be producing shows for your generation and the rest of us olds should just sit in a fucking chair in the corner hallucinating reruns of the Brady Bunch while thanking our lucky stars you “young ‘uns” are still generous enough to let us even breathe the same air you do.

I went to school at an all boys Catholic Jesuit high school. My junior year we took a course called “Morality and Justice” where the school had speakers from PFLAG come and talk. The school paper even had an article from former students titled “You Are Not Alone”, which was a letter to all gay students currently…

I hate this argument. It’s not “designed to benefit people with wealth”. It’s DESIGNED to be a fair system. People with wealth have the opportunity to manipulate that system.

Gosh, it’s almost as if he’s experiencing the same kinds of anxieties and symptoms that many women often experience as a result of being sexually assaulted and having their entire lives exposed if they report it!

God Save That Mustache

This is all I see.

Same here - the Hughes ouvre (and let’s not leave out Crowe - fucking Lloyd Dobbler was a stalker) is problematic, but still holds a place in my aging heart. That’s what Gen X had growing up.
