Lucifer. My.

Just because your city took 8000 refugees this year does not give you right to automatically feel self righteous about anything, besides you are way too angry and choleric for this forum. Many of us are here on jezebel and not on yahoo and dailmail etc. because of the civility of discourse. This is a community I rely…

I think you are in the wrong website or are you trolling?

lose so much. excuse me.

Can I just say something tangential about that interview this morning on CBS. Does Gayle King come across as annoying and stupid to anyone else? I want to like her as she comes across as warm but her irreverence to depth makes me so mad. I still watch the show as its better that other morning shows and I need…

Holding on to such hopes is what brought us here. We have to assume the worst. He may last all eight years. He may start deporting people. If nothing else, he will make the country more xenophobic. We need to be more annoyed and pissed off. Holding on to logic is not going to help.

I deleted my Facebook account 4 years ago. Never looked back.

My friend’s husband started speaking nonsense about Hilary and praising Trump at my kid’s birthday party. His opinions were not based on anything but obscure right wing websites and a misconstrued understanding of Republicanism. He simultaneously spoke about how sad he is that Uber is destroying taxi unions and how he…

That is exactly what I did not like about Chicago when I used to live there, for five years. Most American cities are divided, but Chicago’s southside is buried deep down in the dominant narrative that circulates about the city. Also, the whole hip white people culture in Chicago in particular, was frankly annoying,…

How is this funny? As in, Americans are stupid kind of funny? Really if the core of this tweet was meant to make fun of the lack of derivate history to American english or whatever, atleast their research should have been sound. As others have pointed out, its all wrong.

I think the problem is not whether she is taking someone’s job or getting a salary. The problem is her inability to refuse anything. She wants to do everything, direct, write and do whatever it is she will do as an unpaid guest lecturer. She can refuse, but she will not. She can participate without the title, but she…

Time, inclination and resources are not enough to be granted the privilege to teach at LSE or any institution. Intelligence—and I dont mean just being able to speak in an intelligent way—also brings self awareness. I have academic friends of mine who will graciously refuse to speak on subjects they think they are not…

love that gif.

I spat out the dates I was eating. Now I have to clean my couch but it was worth it

Everyone stop feeding the troll!

While it may seem like the process from F1 (student visa) to H1 (work visa) is smooth, it is not. Even if you have degrees from good universities. In software, yes. In other fields no. When I worked on a h1B visa, I lived in constant fear of losing my job and the life that I had built for myself. The day you lose your…

I love that. face tattoo. That is exactly how I feel some mornings. My kid is a doll and has never bothered me. I managed a very demanding PhD since he was 5 months old. Its was difficult but my amazing son made it easy. Yet, I regret taking on this responsibility that will never go away, even on a vacation, or in my…

I lived in the UK in the last five years and did not meet too many of the kids you speak about. I have lived in the US for over a decade and most people here do not speak a second language. I study in an Ivy League school and meet the cream that tends to know foreign languages, but I know that is not the case with…

I said English-to-get-by, and what you described is getting by. I did not say all Syrian refugees speak good english. If you plonk some of the Americans and Britishers I know in a country that does not speak English, drawings on paper is all you will get, if at all. There will be no mix of beginning anything really.…

That it maybe. But enough english-to-get-by can be expected from the not so educated in most parts of the world. On the other hand, even a good level of education does not guarantee knowledge of second language in the US and UK.
