Or perhaps this person is a troll of whom I’m unaware. But regardless of the crappy phrasing this is a super bad take on the part of Jez

I wish we could ever have someone from the actual Jez community speak up about these things first and not the obvious “you people” trolls waiting to pounce on shit like this. So fucking tiresome and it then makes them feel MORE self righteous and emboldened around here to be shitbags.

H.E.R. just won, and I’m good for the night.

My high school Spanish teacher still posts really sweet and encouraging things on my FB page.  It’s really lovely.

How awesome is it to see that her history teacher made a big difference to a student’s life and is still doing it. Yea history teachers! ( mine inspired me to get an M.A in history by the way).

If you can’t parse what she’s saying but the rest of us can, doesn’t that make you the idiot?

You can have perfect grammar and be as smart as a snail.

Please get over the plasticity of language. There are tons of vernaculars within American English and they’re all equally valid as languages.

No, she only sounds ‘stupid’ if you have white supremacist ideals of English language usage. Because it’s a living language with multiple colonized cultures participating in the growth of the language her usage is no less valid than that of an upper middleclass suburbanite’s, nor an Australian aboriginal’s, nor the…

I’ll happily listen to “dumb at” from here on out, if it means no ever uses “on accident” again (instead of “by accident”).

It is not correct. Let it go. 

You respect her enough to care when she’s wrong, which is all any commentator can ask for.

I think it’s interesting to see people’s reaction to her accent and vocabulary choices. She IS educated, if not via a standard, completed degree. Autodidacts like her can have more in-depth information on the subject of their choice than an average Master’s degree holder, but the drawback is they can miss whole chunks…

If real life were as binary as mass media wanted those who engage with it to believe, then our problems would be a lot simpler.

As a History teacher, I’m kinda loving this.

I don’t know much about Cardi B, but in spite of the language she expressed her opinion, it was obviously an educated opinion.

I can respect Cardi’s mind and her work ethic, be interested to hear her political views, love to chat with her about FDR’s New Deal’s impact on world politics, surmise with her on the impact Elenor had on his personal politics and STILL be pissed as fuck at her for her anti-trans statements.

Call me cynical, but these life-sized Lego builds just don’t do it for me. These builds are the 3D equivalent of turning a low res photo into a mosaic.
