What in tarnation is a “curiosity vessel”

somewhere in the corner of the internet where they celebrate white history month, i imagine

I keep reading your comment, but it’s not helping

Ooh, can we list the worst prose genres please? I’m thinking:

Ummm, okay.

Hmmm. I like how the dude has one arrow stuck in his crotch.

Well, she doesn’t know what she does either. Other than being Kanye’s ex-girlfriend, and doing porn and modeling, I have no idea why this person thinks they can write an advice book about finance, love or life. Anybody who thinks it’s a good idea to inject silicone into their ass shouldn’t be allowed to give life…

If I didn’t read Jezebel I would have no idea who Amber Rose is and I still don’t know what she does.

Hot. It is typically made with crab, cream cheese, and other cheese-esque ingredients, then topped with more cheese. It is otherworldly, and the best thing Maryland has ever produced.

Omg. The girl I work with, EMMA. I wrote about her here before! She’s the one who showed our customers a picture her friend took of one of our classmates on fire (struck by lightning).

This reminds me of my Ghanaian friend in college. His English was great—ETA, like other commenters are pointing out, English is Ghana’s national language—but the heavy accent sometimes placed emphasis on the most unexpected syllable or something and suddenly the whole word would be pretty much lost. Category, for…

And its not like I don’t know this guy 19-year-old at work who is taking classes to be an EMT. When he needs cheap and quick meals to cook for his daughter, he comes to me. When he needs someone to read a paper, he comes to me. When he wants to go out clubbing or to a party, not so much. Our friendship can pretty much…

I don’t think anyone needs to be arrested over this, but I will say that I personally find it rude and disrespectful to cheer loudly when there’s been a specific request to hold applause until the end. Maybe it would be better if schools just did away with that request, sure, but if that’s what’s asked, then it’s…

Nope. Best practices for suicide reporting recommend not using “committed,” which sounds like a crime or, to religious communities, like a sin, and “kill yourself” is just insensitive, crude, and poorly phrased. “Died by suicide” is the phrasing recommended by mental health professionals and the American Foundation…

I'm right there with you. The posting of the video is bad enough but there's something about the haircuttng that's really perverse and sinister. The poor child.

I just read through the comments section of the Tacoma Stories link and someone fairly close to the situation said that her father had threatened to put her up for adoption. If this is true, coupled with the hair cutting off incident, it paints a picture of an abuser who should be in jail.

Chopping off her hair. What kind of fucking medieval punishment is this? That’s what they did to women who slept with Germans during the French occupation. Getting drunk or whatever doesn’t warrant this hateful treatment. This is horrid.

If she was being bullied at school, it makes it so much worse that her own father would do this to her. Did it never occur to him that those same bullies would see this and use it against her? WTF!

I agree with the outrage here. I do. But a quarter Asian person will mostly look super white. I know a few, and one in particular has the fairest skin and the blondest hair. My own half-Asian children have curly light brown hair. Genetics, yo. That said, They should have gone half-white, not full white. It was a…
