Not that this is an excuse but I think it might be culturally endemic. When my friend returned from Peace Corps in Jordan in the late 90s—she also spent a couple years in and out of Egypt—she said it was a really common sight to see men walking the streets holding the hands and being affectionate with boys. She said…

I saw this video last week and saw nothing other than the very sad and current (and very real) trend of women trying to become social media stars by presenting themselves as lifestyle/style gurus.

“Moreover, off-duty law enforcement officers are not included in the on-site law enforcement chain of command or bound by department or agency-on-duty policies that that [sic] restrict their use of alcohol or subject them to other on-duty behavior standards.”

I hope he gets all or close because you’re right—it’s the only way that racial justice will abate is by hitting them in the fucking wallet. I hope a huge civil rights attorney industry pops up to help people sue municipalities, schools, institutions that think they can still get away with this mess. #getthatmoneyAhmed

I know! Who wants to hear about varied experiences to deepen one’s knowledge, amirite?

Did your attacker get convicted?

This made me tear up. I’m really, really sorry you had to go through ALL of that—the initial violation and trauma then doubled by the bureaucratic fuckery all because you’re a woman.

“Life is Good” until they’re born and then they can go fuck themselves, right Ohio?

God, I really hope no Turkish are shouting out of solidarity with Daesh. Because they’re at the top of Daesh’s hit list. They do not play for the same team.

Oh, dear, the articles about Ankara, Iraq and Syria have been quite extensive, you’ve just not been reading them. In fact, Syria and Iraq have been on the front page of every newspaper for years not with extensive coverage of the carnage.

“...serve as a reminder that the west doesn’t consider them real people worthy of even a moment of remembrance. Also, way to gloss over what is essentially racism/classism/hemispherism.”

I’ve never read more poorly written, unprofessional emails from anyone over the age of 30 in my life. Her tone, her choice of words...just mortifying.

Wow, if the content, tone and grammatical errors of her many, many, many verbose emails didn’t already make it clear that this woman has no business being near children letting alone educate them, then this right here did:

“...one piece of a bigger story that is mostly beautiful.”

“He is a member of our team and someone who is grateful for the opportunity he has been given to move forward with his life and his career.”

Ugh, of course the Kardashians’ choices were slutty and uncreative. Lots of good ones out there, though.

Man, we used to love to pull bongs and watch Bob Ross in college. It was the perfect diversion when one didn’t feel like going to class.

Jesus, what a bunch of hicks. It was so impossible to her that some black people could have money to come and shop there, the poor dear. Poor guy was probably psyched to buy himself that watch. What a letdown.

You mean the “incident” where customers—customers who somehow didn’t seem legit?—called to see what time they closed?
