such a white thing to do. here she is determining the validity of a real woman of color’s ethnicity and her experience with racism while she herself,in extreme white guilt supreme mode, hijacked black womanhood and fabricated hate crimes against herself to prove that she’s black. chile,white pathology is a trip.

Whatever you do, for christ’s sake, stop making this about mental illness with no proof whatsoever. You know you’re working to diminish her responsibility if you do that, you know it. As far as we know, she is an extraordinarily committed liar, and a very harmful one who subjected her own kids to faked hate crimes.…
Nick got interviewed on a youth current affairs radio show last night. Listeners sent in feedback texts afterwards that the host read out. My favourites were "I went to high school with Nick. He was a chump then and he's a chump now" and "Please tell Nick to give himself an uppercut."
We don’t do showers in the UK; they’re viewed as grasping and tacky. But if I got an invitation stating no boxed gifts, my gift would be lots of tupperware boxes, individually wrapped.
Just because you’re forgiven doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have done the appropriate punishment and that’s where the whole story about the Duggers gets me. He was NOT appropriately punished for this. Forgiveness is only one side of the coin here. How they state that ‘oh we cooperated with the police’ but in all honesty…
Most orthodox women are not spending 4000-7000 on a dress. The vast majority of orthodox women are getting gowns through community gemachs. A gemach is a free or low cost rental ($250). Most modest gowns are easily modified and rebuilt. In communities where there sometimes 3 or 4 weddings a nights within the…
Toyota Center turned into Donut Ghost House with all those boos.
Man! I feel like a woman (who only makes 78 cents per every dollar a man makes)!
White privilege is having agents of the state and a presidential candidate protect you despite being an incestuous child rapist. Imagine if this dude wasn’t a white guy. It’s truly baffling so many people are unwilling/unable to have a modicum of empathy for people like Tamir Rice but are more than willing to defend…
Those of us who’ve experienced the fallout of molestation within religious families, back me up here. The religious institution will almost always take the side of the abuser, even elevate them as “forgiven by Jesus himself and is now saved,” and practically excommunicate the abused, especially if the victims are…
Dammit, don’t you hate it when you turn down Molestation Avenue when you really meant to hang a left on Not Being a Fucking Monster Lane? Goddamn MapQuest, I tell you what...
I’d advise staying away from places like the official Duggar facebook page. The people defending him are about to give me a rage stroke. Lots of “he who hasn’t sinned should cast the first stone,” “it’s normal for young boys to be sexually curious,” “it was in the past,” “god forgives all,” etc. Because you know,…
Oh it is. I have the same response to anything that goes wrong. You spill milk? You have to die now. You don’t respond to my text in a timely manner? You have to die now. You like a movie that I don’t like? You have to die now. You have a vagina instead of a penis? You have to die now.
“I can’t stress this enough,” she told Jezebel at the time. ‘The wider point here is the gamification of the harassment of women.”
This font size is appropriate imho
Because it was a giant, clanging false note in one of the best female character arcs I have ever seen on television. I thought Moss’ acting in the scene ALMOST saved it, but the way they shoehorned that scene in there was just terrible, and that writing was cheesy as fuck. Peggy deserved better than that.
I’m 56 and cannot understand why younger generations AREN’T as angry. Give it time. It grinds you down - even with the battles won, the shit is still there.
