With you here in the UK as well. I take it as a good day when I turn on the news and it leads with the latest Brexit fiasco rather than with what Trump just said on Twitter.

1) I am editorial. We all are. It means that we have opinions and we share them. Of course we are biased. Everyone is. We just don’t pretend not to be. This isn’t a hard news publication.

I see where you are going with this, but I chose the headline, and my primary job is as a social studies and psychology teacher here in Japan. Writing is my part time gig. And I have tremendous respect for schoolgirls (and schoolboys!). After all, I didn’t become a teacher for the money. I see nothing wrong with…

Any time you are writing a comment about gender issues and you’re on your fifth paragraph, it means you’re making a long winded explanation of how something isn’t sexism, but you’re making the opposite point.

Here’s to hoping all the people trying to get their shit in stay in the grays.

I wanted to stay in bed with blankets over my head today because I cannot face the expectations of Mother’s Day and all that it implies about what makes a Mother’s Day- worthy mom. I am not that mom. I have 3 little boys whom I love to bits and bits and bits but holely shit, I am looking at my current state of affairs…

I too was taken away from my mother when I was a child (4yo in my case) due to neglect. I too grew up with my paternal grandparents. For a few years my mother would sent me a card and gift for my birthday but she wouldn’t come to visit or anything. And then the cards stopped and I didn’t hear from her again. I grew up…

OK but how close are you to Atlanta and if you are not close will you bring yourself and some weed to me please.

I have an awesome mom, but can I come to your party, pls?

The issue is that people like your mother are very good at manipulating the situation. Know that what you experienced is real and your mother is responsible for her behavior. Good luck.

Weekly photoshop contest? Please??????

I think he was trying to make it as a pop singer.

"We feel bad that she had to LASH OUT this way."

Shared this with a friend from across the country who actually works at a comics shop and also happens to be black, and has many amusing stories about casual nerd racism. He had a pretty good comment I'm going to paraphrase here.

Him: "Okay, so if my shop had a room that everyone called 'dead nigger storage', think…

"In fact, it was quite the opposite, with the star toting her pricey black leather Hermès Birkin bag in the crook of her leg arm, her hand thus lifted up, putting the ring on full display."

"Son of a nigger loving atheist bitch" BOOM HAT TRICK.

I was rear ended at a stop light by a dude going 40 miles an hour. He totaled my car. I got out and exchanged insurance information with him. I didn't go on a racist tirade & threaten to kill him because I am not, in fact, clinically insane.

when is it okay to threaten to kill someone's children? If this had been a black dude threatening a white suburban housewife do you think you would be making excuses for him right now?

Yeah...I've been in near accidents before and I don't think I've ever threatened to get a gun and kill someone's family due to their perceived ethnicity and/or racial heritage.
