I’m surprised someone hasn’t tried to give the whole “girls don’t sleep with me so I’m murderous” thing a name in the hopes of legitimizing it. Like testicular retention induced psychosis. Or a friendlier sounding “He had a case of the jizzblocked cranial crazies.”

Margaret Atwood was on point when she said,

So... you’re saying it’s the girl’s fault that the school massively overreacted?

Emmet Till’s mother did not ask for her son’s dead body to be used as a rhetorical tool on the internet against black people who are 1) already aware of what happened to her son and 2) dealing with their own daily racial traumas from living in a white supremacy.

Even though the racial gap among girls is much larger, boys are also expelled significantly more often than girls. I was inclined to do a little research to see whether people are more frightened by maleness or blackness in the school system. This NIH abstract suggests that white boys and black girls are expelled at…

As a former 7th grade teacher, by age 12, all kids lie to get out of trouble and think they’ll get away with it. Because they’re 12. And even the nicest smartest 12 year old will lie to get out of trouble. Race and gender don’t matter. The fact is we don’t know what happened. She could’ve been uncomfortable; she…

WTH is up with everyone on here like “I wonder what would have happened if person was x and the other was x” JFC this is racism. We all know it. The child was suspended because he’s black. Quit pretending like there’s some other fucking reason.

The Catholic school I visited was better managed in terms of behavior, but the instruction did not seem superior to the local public school. In fact the mathematics lesson seemed dated, the students were not encouraged to be actively engaged, and I did not think that they would be prepared to do the night’s homework.…

Emmett Till’s mother asked for those photos to be taken so the world could know what happened to her child. This goes beyond white people being “titillated” by dead black bodies. This is about remembering. This image was on the cover of magazines at a time when the men who did this could literally get away with…

I know what you mean. I’ve scheduled a heart-to-heart with a close friend who rescued me from a suicide attempt and the level of shame and embarrassment associated with that time is unreal. I keep wanting to back out (even though I asked them) because I’m worried they don’t care or want me to shut up about my…

That’s Hot & Sour Soup, the same as in the story.

Why are customers always convinced people are lying to them? They have only one cup size, they aren’ trying to trick you for the fun of it. I one time had a customer, when I worked at the convenience store, swear up and down they paid for a money order with a credit card there just recently. The damn computers didn’t…

“All and all, [we’re] just another brick in the wall”

we don’t need no education, we don’t need no birth control

If anything, that’s an understatement. I imagine plenty of them would love scientists to find a way to keep the female reproductive system alive and let everything surrounding it die.

The worst was that article the other day condemning women for texting while breastfeeding (and yes, they really did call it “brexting”). These people need to find something else to do besides finding things to berate mothers about.

Should the information and story be presented in a nuanced way? Yep, its limited, i.e. uncorroborated, information from only one person. Do the uber conservatives have the ability to use this to justify systemic hate and persecution? Nope, that would be a logical fallacy. But calling this a rumor is as biased as that…

I think Jesus will forgive you for denying him. Peter was forgiven.

Anybody seen this awesomeness going around?
