Honestly, probably not... I just have been welling up with tears at my desk reading all this and I don’t know that I strategically hit “reply” before emotionally vomitting. Thanks for listening, though.

I for one, feel as unsafe with the people on the left as on the right at the moment reading this. You could just as easily put up some Pepe’s and Holocaust Denying memes and I’d be in as much of a near-tears fest at my desk.

If Sarsour’s liberation is bound up on my oppression, it is not liberation at all.

ok, I knew FMLA only applies after a initial working period (so if you’re planning to have a family, its best to stay where you’ve been working).... but I didn’t remember the “pay back your employer” part. Mind you, it’s creeping up on 8 years but I did focus on FMLA for my Social Policy semester project... and I was…

where have you run into that? I’m not fully versed in these laws.... but I know plenty of people who took maternity leave and at some point decided not to return to work. What happens? do you have to return the compensation from that time?

100% on board with the fact that IF I was to give up everything about my history/heritage I’m “white.” Except, it means I also have to choose to take on culture and customs that aren’t mine, and be ok with any trouble that comes my family/people’s way I should turn a blind eye to them, and I will not.

I’m Jewish, I’m not white. I’m white PASSING. It’s different. I’m happy to explore the differences with you... but it is how I identify.

i’m thinking they just need to be sent a bag of dicks. this is a lovely parting gift - to tell him how much he was loved, and why.

Did we not all have crappy taste as teens?

PREACHHHHHHHHHHHHH <3 me some Christopher. He’s flawed sure, but he and Lorelai were just SO in sync with each other.

Gross. Anger Problems. Lies about April.

This concept frustrates me, TheOutsider89. I’ve heard it before on Jez. I’m happy to clear up any questions or misconceptions on my community for people; and I hope that Jez is a safe space for the same. Yet, inevitably when appropriation is the issue and someone admits their ignorance and graciously accepts a new…

I assumed the prop check was made up long before the show.

Agreed. Big’s not a great man, but he is confident in who he is and ok with the limited things he is/isn’t looking to get into. I think thats why early-20s me liked him a lot. Early 30s me would rather a man who wants what I want... so its no that he’s bad, its just he isn’t good for ME... or CARRIE who wanted…

Ditto! I have IBS that went into hyper-drive this last year and I’m doing an elimination diet to try to help fix some of it.

...raises hand... I would love to come home to my man, a dog, and if my tummy wouldn’t fight me over it - fried chicken. You add in Netflix documentaries and it sounds like the PERFECT night after work. #hatersgonnahate

I think the issue, which I took - so I can only speak for myself is to call out one type of Hollywood Liberal - the Jewish one - when the majority of Hollywood’s white majority, whether Scientologists, Christians, Jews, Athiests, Occult Members, Agnostics, Buddha loving Yogi’s, or whatever - do not practice what they…

Ok - so I think there’s one kernel of truth we both agree on: those who are in positions of power within our media should work together to bring others into the fold of power who do not look exactly like themselves.

Jewish comedians (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borscht_B… ) came up from extreme amounts of racism towards themselves and their families in Europe to an America who was progressively moving away from making Catholics & Jews “not White” (as in the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant groups who were the only powerful…

Its just a guess but on a thread like this, its easier to choose to comment when you hear someone else has a bi-polar, borderline personality, mom like me... or an abusive parent (emotional, physical, or verbal, or self-abuse with drugs) like others... its harder to comment “OMG THIS MAKES ME LOVE MY MOM MORE!”…
