“Weaved within the movements for black lives are spiritual and ritualistic resources such as reiki, acupuncture, sage, and herbal tinctures to increase self-care and tend to grief and trauma.”

sorry to bag on you a little here, but ive gotten really tired of the trope that this is solely about societal conditioning or expectations of women, and that the reader is supposed to be primarily sympathetic to her, when the truth seems (in my reading anyways) absurdly more complex. i think it sells the author…

I’m guessing Comcast will be the first one, since they already don’t give a shit about good customer service and are openly assholes.

Dewitt: You did have it going on within your own administration allegedly with Sam Hoyt. What could you do differently to kind of pick up on that?

Same. The racist policy stuff is just icing on the anti-choice cake.

Ugh. I can tell you from experience, this crowd is a dreary bunch and hardly worth trolling. We have extensive files on r/neoliberal’s membership and it is by far the most heavily infested segment of Reddit with paid commentators. We know there is a cabal of deep-pocketed Clintonite dullards who are dead set on…

“in University” and “Kraft Dinner” outs Nicholas as a low-down, shifty-eyed, Labatt-drinking Canuck.

I do think that single men of a certain age are often such because they’ve never accepted that they put a considerable amount of effort into getting to know and engaging with women they’re interested in.

Yeah... no one comes out of the story looking great, although I do think the narrator’s immaturity isn’t so much gender specific as age specific. Have you talked to any college students lately? They’re a nightmare regardless of gender, and I can’t be that angry with them because I was the exact same way. But while…

I’m a long time lurker and first time commented, but I’ve really been enjoying the discourse on the AV Club so I figured I’d jump in. I think what makes men’s reactions to this story so strange to meis that I felt such deep empathy for every character in the story. I’m a 25 year old woman, and when I was early college…

Everyone go back and read the headline to the tune of the Spongebob theme song.

I think there were a lot of realistic possibilities of what we should have done. I liked the idea that the ethics committee actually investigate the allegations in some manner. It would show that the Dems were for law and order and it would have made precedent to investigate other claims against other Senators. Then,…

In all fairness, it’s easier to have principles with Franken when you have a Democratic governor to appoint his replacement, correct? I think the ‘push’ to get Franken out would be quite different if they thought the seat would go red.

I hate Trump but I was a drunk before him. Now at days I rather stay home because if I go out and meet a Trumpie.... as a Brown man I may be compelled to power bomb them on their MAGMA hat (Actually had a guy wear a MAGMA hat to a bar in Murray Hill Manhattan during the Yank playoff run).

Tonight’s guest on “How to tell someone is not from New York”

The 66 is like a methadone clinic on wheels.

Wait. . .this isn’t about buying packets of heroin in an Applebee’s bathroom?

Added bonus: alcohol

The ghost of Chuck Berry?

Dan’s from Philly. I’m going to go ahead and guess he’s been to the Vet, which means he’s almost definitely peed in a sink before.
