OK, but can you forgive that hat?

Thank you. I hope she’s lying about being a medical professional bc shit, that would be terrifying.

I’m bi and think you explained it perfectly. Thanks.

It’s not a cheesy comeback. You’re willfully misinterpreting what the OP said to make bisexuality equivalent to cheating. That show that you don’t understand the difference between sexuality and sexual activity.

Yes- that was when The Root became my default spot instead of Jez. And lately even when Jez writers try to incorporate in intersectional view into their writing, it rarely resonates.

But shouldn’t Jezebel try to change that by cross-posting and supporting their colleagues?

Really? I think you should try it sometime. You might be surprised.

I completely agree, and it bugs me when The Root publishes something about race first, and then Jezebel posts a different hot take on the same subject later. Smacks of whitesplaining when they could simply just cross-post.

That’s a good point about the comments, though I would argue that it also gives a lot of clueless commenters a safer space to be idiots, which is not what they need.

Yes, the irony was not lost on me, either. Haha.

Serious question, because I don’t get how these things work. Why write a new post about this when The Root already covered it about 6 hours ago?

School resource officers are the inlet that leads to the ocean of mass incarceration. They should not exist. But just try to get rid of them- you become a monster who wants kids to get killed at school (don’t ask me how I know).

In addition to what Ara said, there have also been devastating floods there this fall/winter and not much safety net for people who’ve lost everything.

This is hopeful. My kids’ district recently hired a school resource officer on the advice of the police chief. My husband and I provided evidence, debated rationally, irrationally, begged, cajoled, etc. that they not do this, to no avail. We were met with eyerolls and parents convinced we wanted to deny safety to…

You know they’ll switch it up and do “Hammond”

That’s how I feel too. If I were on a date with someone and they said, “I once hooked up with DJT” I would probably just leave.

OK group question- could you have sex with someone who you know has had sex with him?

I love the thought of Putin having a file on all the nasty shit Wayne LaPierre does in his spare time. He probably keeps it locked up with the pee tape. But I’m sure it’s muuuch worse than the pee tape.

What do you have to do to not be in “good standing” with these freakshows?

Octavia Butler>Margaret Atwood x100000. I wish she were still around to school us. And I would watch the shit out a TV/movie version of Parable of the Sower.
