HEY THAT’S ME! I MADE THAT! True life, I cried a little bit when I got it in the mail, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen my father look at me with such pride.

The lace collar is elegant.

when on May 1 she promised Baltimore’s rioters

It’s an interesting philosophical question but as a practical reality you’re about 50 years too late and thousands of miles away from Kenya.

Maybe you would’ve had an easier time in the comments section if you had emphasized loving couples rather than married ones. I think this is the dumbest debate of all time. Personally, I wouldn’t ban people from having sex in my house. But I don’t think everyone who feels uncomfortable with their friends boning in…

It is my firm belief that there is at least one romance novel for pretty much everybody.

...has a killer writing staff.

OK. Well... let’s take it back a few steps?

I think the real question is how hard are you straining to not see this is a race issue?

There are currently 23 SEPARATE threads on this post saying, “I don’t get it” or “This is ugly.”

My first instinct was to dismiss this comment, but I’m not going to do that. Many readers, including myself, like Kitchenette and enjoy used to enjoy Pinkham. I personally don’t mind if he keeps writing here as long as he (or someone) addresses the horrible things he wrote, head on, like an adult would. Not everyone…

Did you miss the part about how he has a history of targeting women, especially women of color, and telling them to "get fucked by a rake"? If you wanna blow past some remarks about which ethnicity tips the worst, that's one thing. But bullying women of color with rape threats is really quite another.

I hope I don't come off as overly defensive here but here goes. I don't expect you to grab a pitchfork and honestly I get why you don't want to. I get exhausted by being angry sometimes too.

Any response to the 1000+ comments concerning your writing here, on Groupthink, and on Live Journal?

Defending a fellow white person who has a pattern of racist comments and dismissing/banning POCs is a really bad look, especially taking into account your history with racist comments on Jez. Like, maybe butt out.

I know you know that the term witch hunt is traditionally used to refer to people unfairly hunting down an innocent party for excessive punishment. The point is that they weren’t actually witches.

Dude is a straight up misogynist, xenophobe, and racist. There’s not much else to know. Also insanely insecure about his writing – haven’t you noticed that? – as he should be, given that his only credential is having once managed a middling chain restaurant.

Yes because why should someone who’s being racist, classist, sexist and harrassing people be held account for his words and actions? As long as he’s making us laugh he can do what he wants!

I got to watch a Crying Drunk Girl get taken care of by her Boyfriend (she was sort of yelling, but I think it was just inability to modulate tone) in Penn Station last weekend, and it was BEAUTIFUL. Mostly because he was being super sweet to her but you could tell he just wanted to lose his shit laughing.
