Right? I first heard about this on The Read a week or two ago, and I was completely horrified. What kind of ridiculous levels of incompetence do you have at this school where you rub a little Vaseline on something as raw as this and call it good? What kind of idiot principal do you have at this school who send a kid…

A coworker of mine was strangled by a student. He was only 4 so thankfully it wasn’t something she couldn't handle. She asked him what on earth he was trying to do and he said “I was trying to hurt you”. Mother was informed, but later we found out our director told the parent that it was “a hug that got out of…
When I was a kid, my family (Air Force) was stationed in Oklahoma. I was the only non-white kid in my entire school. Every day, the other kids used to throw rocks at me during recess until one day the school suddenly “discovered” this program for gifted students, and the next thing I knew I was getting shuttled to a…
In addition to everything else that’s horrible about this, which is, well, everything, a rope burn is a nasty injury. They almost always get infected because particles of rope remain in the skin (source: the doctor who treated a nasty rope burn I had in my youth). It will be painful for weeks, it may well make her…
I hope she gets every penny she is suing for! I am so sick of things happening to black children that are deemed accidents. She was attacked. That picture above that’s her neck after some healing this is it before
it definitely was a bullying incident...ugh it breaks my heart. They had to WORK to injure her that much....she was probably so scared...and none of the adults helped her...
This is really breaking my heart. I mean...how fucking DARE the school come up with all these bullshit excuses when it’s so fucking obvious that girl was hurt by a gang of asshole kids! That poor girl.
Now playing
It popped into my head too.
Holy fuck!
I read this story earlier this week and it’s a true WTF. I am amazed at the amount of wiggling everyone is doing to deflect blame. Apparently the principal was shocked that the mother was taking her daughter to the ER. Also, I’ve gotten accidental rope burns before but never from simply being hit by a rope and always…
I love this quote.
Thank you for identifying this as a hate crime. Most news sites seem to be glossing over that. It was a terrorist attack against specifically LGBT people. Then again, it’s not news that ISIS hates gay people. Going to go give my girlfriend a hug.
it’s a cross-section of things: religious extremism, homophobia, masculinity-gone-wrong and gun culture. Incredibly sad.
“[This] has nothing to do with religion,” he said.
When are people going to learn they need to know their audience. This is why you don’t bitch about your boss to your unemployed friend. Or how awful being on crutches with a relatively minor injury to someone who is permanently disabled. I’m sure he can find a couple of other rich white men to bitch about typecasting…
He is on a show where most of the time he is clothed and women on the show are naked. There are tons of female actresses on the show that don’t have lines and are naked for a whole scene.
The key here, as another commenter pointed out, is that there’s a difference between complaining about objectification on one hand, and comparing the way that men are objectified in our culture to the way that women are, as though they’re remotely comparable.
Also: “Jesus, you use a lot of commas.”*
