Fair enough.

How so? First of all, I am Chicana (my parents are Mexican, I was born in California) and while I find the “chola” picture super problematic (don’t get me started on the glamorization of cholas), I personally thought she was doing a 1920's flapper look. I absolutely think that the Mexican culture is woven into a lot…

I wouldn’t make that connection without being told that was the intention, though. I’m not saying it wasn’t inspired by Geisha styles but I definitely wouldn’t have realized that was the intent if you hadn’t told me.

I think Chávez’s opinion might also have been affected by the Oaxacan style flower crown she’s wearing on the cover.

He said “hood”, guys he’s definitely black.

One of my friends is getting married and her bachelorette party will be a weekend at a secluded cabin, on a mountain, in Colorado. Nobody around for miles. Pretty sure everybody’s going to be murdered in their swimsuits or shorts by a machete-wielding psychopath. Maybe the bride will live, depending on what kind of…

“given that the doctors who treated her also remaining skeptical due to her injuries, refusing to accept that just one person was involved in the horrific assault.”

How does this mutant keep finding women who will sleep with him?!!!! We know it’s not his personality.

I’ve been looking at Dansko clogs for my wedding but now I might end up just using some I’ve already broken in. They won’t make for cute “bridal shoe & rings” photos but I’ll be able to walk on grass and dance.

I can completely understand the weather issue and why rubber shoes would be useful in that situation. They should add some straps to them, though because slippery rubber shoes with no straps could be dangerous.

I get that your problems will be different from mine but these shoes aren’t heavy for me. I have ankle and knee problems stemming from collapsed arches and these are comfortable for me. At least as far as heels go, the most comfortable shoe for me is a sneaker with a arch-supporting insole.

They’re not the most hideous thing in the world but I also don’t really get them. Who are these women who want to wear heeled clogs but would rather wear this monstrosity than shell out for Swedish Hasbeens or Bryrs? I mean they’re more expensive but they’re ethically sourced, comfy, and last forever.

“Yes, explicit sexual consent can be given non-verbally”

“Who do you think they’re going to believe?”

So, if a white person does this to me and a cop won’t help, am I allowed to mace them? Or would that get me thrown in jail? What if he had shot her (a real possibility with these people)? What are we allowed to do to protect ourselves when the cops won’t help?

Well the woman is black so technically she (or her ancestors if she’s African American), didn’t do the invading. That’s what makes this even worse, POC only help prop up the racist establishment that hurts them when they do things like this. Helping to oppress other POC never helps them.

It is extremely dangerous to try to provide psychiatric or mental health services when you aren’t licensed and trained to do it. I started listening to The Gateway and it strikes me as really bizarre that there are people who think it’s okay that Teal told a woman she should go ahead and commit suicide if she wasn’t…

Yeah, Mexico was also colonized by white people and also had slavery. There are white Mexicans who are racists toward the other races and there are other races trying to get in good with the whites. People should stop being surprised by this. The only thing that DOES surprise me is that they actually used the -word…

I used to wonder how someone who claims to spend so much time at the gym could end up looking so unfit. Now I know.
