The university is also being sued.

I can only hope this racist bitch doesn’t make her child feel less than for having *gasp* BROWN SKIN!!!!

In sixth grade I had my umbrella confiscated on the bus. My bully of three years leaned over and touched my face, and I whacked her on the head hard enough to bend it. The bus driver took my umbrella, and said because she had seen the bully harass me all school year, she wouldn’t report me. So win?

Consider yourself lucky, Seth.

I had this happen when I volunteered at my daughter’s school for picture day. I was no-makeup, hair in a bun, baggy sweatshirt, and 33 goddamn years old. A teacher came up to me and said “Whose class are you in, sweetie?”

Sex worker was robbed!

The district and social services were aware and helping as much as possible, but mom was hard to work with due to some ongoing…

Oh, I miss Contempo.

Man, I was sure the sex worker one would be a winner!

That’s what my kidneys are for, Yoko.

They always blame the ladies.....

My parents are around the same age and they and their friends are generally liberal and progressive except where trans rights are concerned. I think, like gay marriage, most people will come around eventually on trans rights.
