wait, is “cultural anthropology” an excuse we can now use for every cringeworthy period or indulgence in our own lives?

psst! harlem is in manhattan. but i get it.

It’s not about who’s treated ‘worse’. American racism is deeply configured towards non-white people and nobody is arguing this. Acknowledging that anti-semitism is a very real problem, one that most Americans are in the dark about, does not somehow diminish the struggles of non-white people. We should be able to…

Dude, I’m so glad you’re with me here. It’s so myopic. If I had a nickel for all the times I’ve heard well-read, educated people in social situations say things like, “Jews are the worst.” “Jews are greedy.” “Jews just need to give it up, they’re the reason we’re in trouble with Arabs.” “Jews should move on from the…

“Also, while Jewish people still face prejudice, they’re not at the same level of disadvantage of blacks, Hispanics, etc.”

Talk to the Jews living in all the countries with systematic anti-Semitism.

with you 100%. People are awful to Jewish people globally and I don’t understand why it’s so tolerable to make horribly anti-Semitic statements so casually. Yet it is in almost any single freaking culture.

this is a horrendously ignorant statement.

This is actually really dangerous thinking. I had this conversation with someone (who is of Asian descent) recently about how the stratifying of minorities into “deserving/non-deserving” categories of prejudice awareness is quietly allowing raging discrimination to exist against groups who people perceive to be doing…

little known fact: hell is actually just a room with adam levine’s vocals on loop, eternally.

“We just need time to commit a perfect and dumbfounding crime then report on it.”

yes, congrats on your success. did he use a nonchalant tone while doing it? if so that’s even better!

it’s all sorts of sad and depressing. i wish the article gave more clarity on coverage differences between people whose infertility is a result of combat and whose infertility is independent of that. The former - horrible horrible. The latter - as I said, I have complex opinions but ultimately they deserve at least…

it is very very scary and upsetting. although when you think about the fact that we live in a world where women have to fight just to keep oral contraceptives covered, it’s actually kind of amazing that even 60% of insurers cover abortion at all.

nah i get it now, ha. my best childhood friend is like this...not overtly inconsiderate, but just not CONSIDERATE. I have to remind myself that she’s not doing it out of spite, but because she just cannot consciously take off the selfie blinders. love her despite the warts.

i want to do a decade-long before/after photo collage comparing screenshots from the insane “SHE SAID YES!” Facebook proposal albums clogging my minifeed with the same peoples’ “ONWARD AND UPWARD” I’m-getting-divorced posts I assume will follow in 10 yrs.

i went to a stranger’s wedding this weekend as someone’s date. i bailed on wearing my go-to formal dress because it is half-white (not even all white, half) as i desperately did not want to risk encroaching on the bridal color. this is a stranger. and i’m HARDLY a paradigm of selflessness, trust me. and if even i’m…

is it bad that i find this type of person 10000x more infuriating than the person who straight up interrupts your special occasion for their own crap? at least with the latter you’ve got a clear cut reason to pronounce someone terrible. the passive aggressive BS, they know you know you can’t 100% accuse them of…

the wedding-obsessed crowd needs to CALM DOWN. you’re a dbag if you propose at a wedding. you’re a dbag if you think someone who deigns to exhibit happiness that doesn’t 100% involve you on or before your wedding deserves wrath. weddings are weird and kind of dumb. get over it!

it is a truth universally known that the magnitude and ostentatiousness of the proposal is directly inverse to the success and forethought of the future marriage.
