I was once hanging out in front of a movie theater when a very southern man came up to me (in Wyoming) and started telling me how he liked that "Sam-u-el L. Jack-son" And how he was excited to watch him in his new movie:

Edit: Nevermind, he's Blaine Anderson's brother Cooper Anderson.

I was thinking the same thing! If this doesn't look good, I don't want to hear what people think about my face makeup work!

My thought is just that the only way reparations would become a reality is for the government to enforce them and that is a waste of resources that could be used to address the real issues plaguing our society.

I felt so Hannah Hovarth when I heard, my first thought was "Did he finish his scenes?"

Pirate Radio was awesome! I also enjoy Catching Fire (I know, I know) he just had an amazing eye twinkle.

Should every family that owned slaves pay private reparations? And to whom? My family was owned by many other families and I have 30+ cousins in my one group, then there are the cousins of my father and his 11 siblings, the cousins of my grandmother and her seven siblings, the children and cousins of my great…

Wouldn't it be a better use of resources (governmental, not private) to address the persistent inequity in today's society, rather than right past wrongs? I say this as someone whose slave lineage is very well documented in Virginia and Georgia. My father has pictures of his great grandparents (I believe), born…

It's also frowned upon for Judges to undergo any independent fact finding, even the casual googling.

In many places that's par for the course. Without school cancellations. During the polar vortex the University of Wyoming said "bundle up, har har har" then the president took a "sick day" while everyone else trundled to class.

My policy winter (because there is no spring in southern Wyoming) semester of sophomore year was "snow = no class". Sure I failed Stats, but it was a great semester full of snug tight in my bed watching tv. I'm very proud of myself that last semester (my first of grad school) I only missed two lectures to study for an…

I don't know! We went to the movies together (admittedly, 12 years a slave) and he made zero moves. It's very very confusing.

Yeah, I think it opened last year. It's across from the mountaineering museum on Washington.

Mountain Toad Brewery in Golden, CO!

Where is this "Olive Garden" I've been here for six months and have been lost as to where to find delicious Italian food at a place that treats me like I'm family.

OMG, Sharon? Is that you? I know I haven't been to therapy in six months (with the moving to another state and all) but you sound just the same! I miss you, how've you been?
