I didn’t bother reading the full article because this has been obvious to me all along, though I do remember seeing the headline. This is why I have no patience or sympathy for Trump voters. They know they’re insisting on destroying the world, but they consider “respect” for their worthless asses to be more important…

This also makes me sad because my European ancestors, none of whom arrived here speaking English, came to the US in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and became active in local labor movements. These people, immigrants and their recent descendants, created the modern state that the GOP is working so hard to…

I give them 6 months to a year before they throw in the towel and just openly admit to not wanting brown people in the country. Dogwhistles are so 2015.

A lot of people would still defend Japanese internment camps today. Hell, we even elected someone who did so publicly. And I’m sure people would be more supportive of that chapter in our history if the Japanese didn’t rebound economically and become the poster model minority.

Honestly the reason is that these people only consider northern European languages worth speaking in the home. Anything else is brown people talk and must be eradicated. The exception is if you hire a nanny to teach your children to speak their language (e.g. Ivan and Jared’s kids with Chinese) to give them a leg up…

You might be surprised to learn that I haven’t spent the past few days obsessing over your posts and reading through the document you linked. I do know how to use a table of contents, but I’m not doing your research for you. Learn how to cite or shut up.

Hate to bring up Trump unnecessarily, but I’m reminded of when he did us all the service of promoting the birther conspiracy for years so that we’d all share in the triumph of getting to see Obama’s long-form birth certificate.

I would like you to learn how to reference. You can’t just cite a full 214-page document for one specific statistic. Well, you can, but not if you want anyone to take you seriously.

Your links don’t take me to a particular point in that 214 page document, but what I can find that seems to be what you’re referencing is from early November 2016, so not useful.

Care to back that up?

They’re not that clever though.

I have a neighbor who fenced in his patch of weeds in front of his house (actually city property, not his, because it’s on the other side of the sidewalk) and put angry signs all over telling people not to let their dogs shit or piss there. As a result, it’s become the go-to shitting spot for all the neighborhood…

In my experience, distinguishing BBQ and cookout is a southern thing in general, not limited to black people. I, a northern white person who spent enough time in the south to know the difference, always distinguish because you don’t want to piss someone off by offering “bbq” when it’s actually just people grilling…

I have an annoying (and white) neighbor who always knows about the latest sketchy person sighting or suspected break-in attempt in the neighborhood, and about 6 months after I signed up for Nextdoor, then blocked their emails because I realized it was just a bunch of crazy people, she told me that she had a “new…

Have you tried Vanicream or Cetaphil “cleansing bars” (i.e. bar soap found in the eczema section of CVS)? After years of constant reactions on my face no matter what products I used, a doctor told me I should put down the diluted Dr. Bronners and use Vanicream, especially on my face. I never knew this soap (or the…

Whoa, I am definitely buying one of these.

This reminds me of my ex-boyfriend, who used to use up all my shampoo.

The Romans never used soap. They rubbed olive oil on their skin, then ran a dull metal blade across it to remove dirt and excess oil. I’ve never had the courage to try that out, but sounds like it might be up your alley.

I still don’t understand buying liquid soap bottles for that though. I just keep a big jug of Dr. Bronner’s on hand in the basement at all times, and periodically refill our foaming soap dispensers with soap and water.

I bought a plastic container for my bar soap from Target. It’s basically just a soap dish with a lid. I use it when I travel and so far, so good.
