okay yes but if she HAD written about high society 

If you read her book, she clearly says that there are some object that have a function and the function they serve may bring joy even if it’s not easily apparent.  Therefore, your tools serve a purpose and would not be required to be thrown out into the garbage. 

Rugged individualism is hot garbage invented by rich, straight, white men to provide an origin myth for their power and success so that they don’t have to be faced with the truth that they arrived where they are by standing on the necks of people of color and women.

a stranger answered, telling her that Camp had given him the phone along with several bags of his possessions.

Ding ding ding — in any trail race I’ve run anywhere in the U.S., the Race Director (RD) provides unequivocal information beforehand regarding the locations where crews/pacers are allowed and where they’re prohibited. If you break those rules, the standard-ish punishment is disqualification from the race, and you could…

It was either cheating or making Friends with Benefits.

While that’s a violation of the rules, Thevenard still expressed bafflement at the scale of his punishment, which really does seem overly harsh for what is essentially a technical violation.

If I got fired from my job working for an evil corporation, but Karen Gillan told me that she still loved me anyway, I would probably be pretty okay with it

How about we just shut down Twitter forever. And Facebook while we're at it.

I hope Disney doesn’t find out about how Robert Downey Jr behaved in the 90s and 00s. If they fired James Gunn over bad jokes that he’s apologized for multiple times, I wonder what they’ll do about someone who has a criminal record and dangerous behavior to others.

He is so goddamn dense that it’s honestly a miracle that he doesn’t just sink to the bottom of the pool and drown every time he gets into the water. 

The looks on some of their faces and the intensity in which they clapped, suggests to me that, at least in the case of the handful of fans I looked at, they were proud of him for saying racist shit and being “one of them.”

Most Brewers’ game attendees are from nearby Waukesha County. A hyper conservative, nearly all white, exurban dump also referred to as Walkersha County for it’s endless support of Scott Walker.

Attach Dana White’s name to an unscrupulous rumor and I will believe it. Go ahead, try me.
