What came across forcefully in the 1985 series was what it meant to be a Homechild. My grandparents told me stories about Homechildren they knew when they were young—both in Canada and in Ireland (I don’t know if it was just a general term everyone used for orphans taken in for labour or if they were British kids…

*Shoots a video where me and like 14 other dudes are standing on the block wearing a tanktop/no shirt, arms around each other, one guy is over there pumping a shotgun in slow motion and there’s not a woman in sight*

That was a takeaway for me also. Being gay and rapping about trapping and selling Molly are not only not mutually exclusive, they don’t have anything to do with each other at all. It’s like saying “I can’t believe that dude is gay, he used to talk about making homemade pizza all the time. Wack bro”

She wasn’t supposed to write this:

Adele Bloch Bauer I was considered Austria’s Mona Lisa. If they hadn’t fought her so hard, Maria might have let the paintings stay in Austria. At least they got what they deserved! (Though they *do* still have The Kiss).

even mentioning them in the same sentence as the beatles reeks of a sad, sad desperation by a generation that is realizing there is no single musical act today in hip-hop that will have any relevance whatsoever 3 years from now.

Here we go:

Lol, you apprentice don’t realize you are messing with the blogger that loves banning people that dare question her.

As Mrs. Fingerbottom said in the comments, what’s the difference between a statement that comes across as homophobic and homophobic statement?

This kind of makes me a little bit sad. It’s not like Oprah needs the money. It should be in a museum. Somehow I don’t think that this anonymous Chinese buyer is going to loan it out.

Wealthy anonymous Chinese buyer?

Clover why are you covering for the Migos? If any other celebrity said that shit we wouldn’t sit here and ponder the context. Stuff just as homophobic gets called out all the time, but now Jezebel suddenly wants to pull a Fox News and “their words were taken out of context?” Since when did yall write for Trump?

The amazing thing about the teachers union thing is this, by all metrics states with a strong union out perform states considered “right to work”.

Bitching about teacher’s union is a thing because it, I dunno, people are pissed we still get benefits or something.

But, but, but, guys.... teachers unions... amirite? So time for them to go and make those fat cat teachers EARN the right to buy their own school supplies. Go get ‘em, Betsy!

I am going to be that person.

This is...not how this works. The quickest version of a US/UK translation square goes more or less like this:

I don’t know anything about US Universities so I can’t comment on those, but in the UK the cohort of students achieving a first is incredibly small to begin with. Add to that the sheer competition to even get into Cambridge from all over the world, that these kids are already leagues ahead of their peers before…

He means “not aristocracy.” Class and wealth are not interchangeable in England, as in the US. You can be aristocracy (from a titled family) and be impoverished. The fact that Kate Middleton was accepted into the Royal family is a sign of an erosion of this divide, but traditionally wealthy merchants and manufacturers…

One of my resolutions for 2017 is to be less uncomfortable with earnestness (for real), and part of me thinks this portrait of him is pretty adorable. I don’t really know him as an actor and I don’t find him that hot, but I kind of like that he’s uncool. It’s a nice change of pace from all the celebrities who think…

Sir Edmund Vestey, the baronet on his mother’s side was appointed as such for his company’s contribution to the war effort (food production for soldiers). He wasn’t born to it. So not actually a blue blood, but a member of the Peerage.
