She was 17?

Our daughter went to Mills and it’s sad, but I’m not sure what they could have done under the circumstances. They needed to let faculty, students and would-be incoming know as soon as they made an adverse decision.

I’ve been pretty dismayed at how many people are focusing on trying to parse out whether his issue was with Asians, women or sex workers, as if it couldn’t be (as it clearly was) all three. Captain Baker, the women were targeted for being Asian AND female AND sex workers, FFS. /an Asian female sex worker 

Thank you for acknowledging that this was both anti-Asian and anti-woman violence. All of the coverage that is failing to call out the targeting of (specifically Asian) women is making me crazy. Pointing out that it is both does not take away from the fact that we are experiencing an acute problem with anti-Asian…

Well, if Megan Markle did nothing else she’s getting terrible brits kicked off the air and that’s not a bad thing.

So the Black Sabbath online store is selling a Black Lives Matter shirt in the style of the Master of Reality cover and it’s pretty great (also, they’re donating all the profits to the BLM Global Network Foundation). Having done the mental calculus, I think I’m still OK in wanting one.

Incredible. I love Rob Halford.

I’m... let’s just charitably say “not in Teen Vogue’s demographic,” so I’m going to let you have all the runway you need to to decide to what standard the editor of Teen Vogue should be held. I’m going to hold YOU to the standard I was holding you to in my original response:

You used quotation marks to attribute words…

1. Having a 27-year-old EIC is a bad idea, full stop.

At all. Like I guess my Black southern ass family doesn’t exist huh. Or it’s fuck them too because the southern repubs are VERY good at voter suppression? 

Expressing honor and filial respect towards one’s parents is a beautiful sentiment. And Chao is another corrupt weasel who needs to be in prison.

My piece was calling out a strain of callousness that liberals exude re: people in red states and their access to lifesaving vaccines. The commenter said that if you can’t understand where the “let em all die” take is coming from, you must not have suffered as much as many people have, and proceeded to offer examples…

The left SHOULD “coddle” the general public. Caring about people is what makes the left better than the right. The dems problem isn’t that they aren’t shitty enough to republican voters. It’s that they aren’t cutthroat enough when dealing with republican politicians. 

Im really glad to see this take. I’m a blue voter who moved to a red state just before the pandemic. As such, I have been essentially trapped in my home for an ugly election and a brutal pandemic. The urge to fear and hate my neighbors & my community (that I have yet to really be any part of) because they are…

All right, since the idea that maybe letting people die of plague might be just wrong is wasted on some people, let’s try some good old Randian self-interest.

I think one problem with America might be the mindset that lets you see a struggling, desperate little girl, and instead of thinking about the fucked up system that put her and her family in that situation, your mind was primarily (exclusively?) concerned with was whether her family was even deserving of sympathy at…

I’m from California and live in New York. There are large swaths of both states that are Republican footholds the second you drive inland. There are also red states that have major cities that are solid blue. Not to sound all kumbaya but at the end of the day these are people, and this red-blue dichotomy is not a way…

I’m not a right wing, and I live in Texas. I vote blue, my husband, parents, brother and his wife, all vote blue. Half of this state is blue. You're not helping us by proving to the Republicans that Democrats are as hateful and blood-thirsty as they are... you're literally saying that you don't give a shit if we die.…

They are not being truth tellers, they’re using tired 2005-style “hurr durr dumb red states” logic to peddle callousness in the name of progressivism and it’s shitty.

I live a red state. We have manymanymany issues. But we are also more culturally and racially diverse than a lot of liberal areas of the country. It’s tiresome being the butt of jokes by Hollywood/Blue States/Hipsters when the country as a whole is racist, sexist and xenophobic. The generalizations that we’re all…
