Prison guards and other staff, visitors, medical professionals, etc...there are a lot of people who work in prisons but live and shop in communities on the outside.

Deciding you don’t want to live by the outdated and sexist rules of a hegemonic empire is the same thing as “denouncing” a family now?

Honest question: Why the fuck does that matter?

I’d rather see her as a black celubutante, because this way she actually gets to speak and have opinions and a personality.

Any time I read some article about how people should vote for Bloomberg because he’s the only one who can beat Trump and that’s all that matters, I instantly know it was written by a smug straight white man.

To get attention.

There are three other people running who are also not Trump. If “not Trump” is your only qualifier for who should be the Democratic nominee, it shouldn’t be difficult to choose someone else.

I found this in Target the other day and I was trying to think of excuses to buy some of the line, lol. The packaging is dope! And the ingredients are nice, too.

I live in Seattle, too. This is bs. I usually just say “12 oz.,” (most because I go to many different coffee shops and I was tired of accidentally saying ‘tall’ in places that don’t use that nomenclature) but I have said “small” and zero baristas have even asked me to clarify, much less complained.

Don't you bring that evil on Animal Crossing

Displacing poor people...and then using their underpaid (and, in some countries, unpaid) labor to actually build the stadium and all the other infrastructure necessary to support the games.

Avery Brundage, who was the president of the IOC at the time, actually was a Nazi sympathizer. He battled for Berlin to keep the 1936 Games even after it became clear what the Nazis were doing to Jewish people and others in Germany. But yeah, that was the exact argument he used.

That’s my hope, too - I hope a whole lot of athletes are like “Fuck you, IOC.”

I came here for this because the commentary on other (whiter) sites was completely enraging me and I needed to be amongst my people.

What the fuck? No. What part of this announcement has led you to believe that? The COUPLE (which I emphasize, since both Harry and Meghan have announced this together - and actually Harry has been the one more vocal about his disdain for the press) have decided to forego the Sovereign Grant. Their decision to step

Yeah, this. Kate decided to learn how to play the game and be the mold that they want royal wives to be - silent, skinny, white. But the press treated her terribly in the beginning too, and honestly the reason why they stopped is because she started popping out cute heirs/kids and because the tabloids got a juicier

Yeah, and I think people tend to forget that Kate was subjected to a lot of vitriol when she first married in, too. People criticized the fact that she was a commoner, her family, and the fact that she never had a “proper job.” Obviously there were no racial dimensions to it, but people have cast both Kate and Meghan

This is why I am simply astounded by people’s reaction to this. I’ve seen so many ordinary folks simply ENRAGED that Meghan and Harry didn’t “clear” this with the Queen first (which is false, as apparently they’ve been discussing it for months) or that they have the audacity to want to live their own lives and make

I was reading a New York Times article by Maureen Dowd (fuck her) that commented that Prince Andrew’s hijinks and Harry and Meghan’s exit showed that some of the younger royals were uninterested in moral authority.

He basically has said those things, only slightly more gently.
