I hope they played Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated” at the wake.

I spent nearly half a year homeless and two of the first things to go are a sense of pride and community. The article above even states that by being in this troop and having this sale that these girls feel less isolated.

I don’t know. They said that this was something that the girls were actively asking to do. And if you read the quote from one of the girls it seems like a lot of the value of the program comes from being able to do “normal” things, like have a cookie sale.

When you look at the big picture, murdering kids isn’t THAT bad, right? I mean other people were doing it, too, so what’s the harm...

When I first read your comment, I thought you said that a bobcat was living under your desk, and I wondered how it got in your house.

It’s different somehow because Hillary is History’s Greatest Monster.

I’d thought the Republican tradition was that when a president is found to have had an affair, the Hillary wife gets publicly shamed for not leaving her husband and for enabling his adultery/sponsoring rape. Then her femininity is called into question, right? Right?

Animals aren’t nearly as altruistic as you think. They’re simply hampered by their lack of thumbs.

Totally! This is similar to the cab driver vs. uber driver conversation in that sense. Sorry that the industry is evolving and you have to too! Change is hard!

“Scab” is an old timey union word but had its origins in the 1700s. So you’re not THAT old!

I hope so too.

“That bill, however, comes with a host of issues that concern civil liberties activists and privacy experts, including broad censorship that could apply to everything from cute baby bath-time photos on Facebook to amateur porn blogs to news publications like this one.”

I’m sad he didn’t show up, because there will be no court drawing of him openly weeping. Also, fuck this guy right to hell. What an asshole. I hope he’s paying this out the rest of his life.

Jesus.

Working as a full time non permenant (no health benefits and they can fire me for any reason) State Resource Coordinator for Oregon Department of Administrative Services, I was curiously asked to assist a few DOJ employees with hot cold complaints (that’s what the rude guys at facilities called it when they didn’t…

That’s not correct. You don’t want to discourage white children from dressing up as Tiana or Jasmine. Because it’s good for white kids to look up to people of different races.

Perhaps the most invasive species... IS MAN!

Outstanding follow up to the question of how to teach slavery. Slave narratives are plentiful and easily accessible. If a teacher wants to impress me, ask the white students in the class how it feels to benefit from oppression.
