I never believed my experience to be unique or potentially edifying. Nothing all that terrible has happened to me. I happened to me. This has always seemed insufficient and mildly embarrassing. Also, sometimes I’m fine...My fine self and my not-fine self have a hard time reconciling with each other, even though they…

I would agree if not for the very real placebo effect. Tape yourself saying things in soothing tones and have your friends sit in a quiet room and listen:

What is cool about the show is that I end up looking up all the events that really happened, like the Suez canal. Princess Margaret’s marriage, the Kennedy episode (which seemed far more ridiculous then reality) to see what really happened.

Nooooooooo.

My own experience as a kid with these books was that I loved them and read them on my own (not school assigned). However I also had teachers at the same time who made it a point to teach more Native American history than probably was the norm. I guess I was able to see that the books were from a a limited perspective…

Dehumanization of non-whites is one of our current social norms. Seems these books hold up pretty well.

Ma was repeating a common refrain of the era, which I believe is originally attributed to the genocidal General Sheridan.  That doesn’t mean that Ma wasn’t a bigot, but kids today should have exposure to what this country was really built on so they can understand why it is deeply flawed.

This is definitely a good move. I was obsessed her books as a child (I went from them to Harry Potter) but looking at those books with 21st century eyes makes it clear that we shouldn’t be holding them up as something to emulate.

Speaking of dogs, what’s your favorite thing your pet does?

White people taking credit for art created by POC isn’t a good look

If her dining there was a deliberate attempt to forment a reaction (like Pence walking out of that ballgame) then the administration which accuses victims of being crisis actors now has two instances where they themselves were the crisis actor.

Well, it’s also Nazi propagandizing and limit-testing at it’s most obvious. The Nazis used to pull shit like this all the time, just to prove to the occupied countries or neighboring countries that they could get away with it.

I find that when adult children truly, truly have no regard for their parents or have chosen no contact with them, they have really, really damn good reasons for it. Think about it: no one on earth doesn’t want parents. It’s a recipe for doom from childhood and everyone pushes you into familial shit your whole life,…

My reaction upon seeing another story on Meghan Markle’s dad:

As if he doesn’t do that already

I was sooo confused at first about Brandon Lee dissing his father from the afterlife. Also wondering why he has this opinion about Bruce Lee.

She was getting CRUCIFIED in the comments section by pro vaccine people until she started blocking and deleting them en masse. Lots of talk about boycotting her makeup line going on as well as publicly shaming her for lending credibility to the anti-vax community. I feel so bad for her baby and the babies of any…

Kat Von D blocked me from instagram for commenting that she should vaccinate her baby, and stop promoting crazy anti-vax big pharma conspiracies. She is blocking every person who tells her to vaccinate. I feel kind of special?

Did you know that this woman ironically WAS aware of her surroundings, hence the text she sent?
