Not sure what y’all tripping about? Gotta go with Vanilla Ice on this one.

“I don’t see the similarity”

Some “Kyvanka” levels of theft here.

This to me is the best way to undercut the “preserve our history” crowd.

We’ve started doing that in Memphis. It’s called “The Lynching Sites Project”.

Did some “research” on the cotton thing: cutoffs are bad because of the threads. Otherwise, there is no sane reason to not wear cotton in a swimming pool. Some sources cite safety, because cotton absorbs, but a couple extra pounds (at most) on a child in the shallow end, full of summer energy, is nothing. Other…

The photos are beautiful. The story is as ... kind? ... as it gets, considering much of it is about murder, racism, and hatred. But at the core of the church, its people, and your article, it’s about love. Thank you.

I get that, but freedom of religion and all that. It’s not my jam, but to each their own. But I also may be biased bc I volunteer with an org that has a heavy Muslim population (free photography for kids with cancer and their families) and they’ve all been super chill, letting the kids choose, and extra kind- I know…

Yes and no. I have much more trouble finding my daughter swimsuits with a “rash guard” (that UV blocking swim shirt) than my son. Not quite sure why so many little kid’s bathing suits are ruffled bikinis, (probably to let you know they’re female and police them accordingly) but here we are.

It’s unclear what that “new information” could be, and the report given to lawmakers gives no further clarification.

I would be mad about this until the day I die, then I would haunt the fucking airport.

Jesus this one hits close to home. My 63 (64?) year old Salvadoran father was jumped by 3 Asian guys on July 4th and hit in the head with something according to his neighbor who called the cops. Thankfully he only has a concussion and a few bruises but this could have easily been a story about my pops if his neighbor…

When I knew him he was deferential to the white men, wanted their respect/friendship etc and was brutal to the women. His treatment of the few women of color in the program was, I want to say, pretty horrible. I wish he’d count his lucky stars and go away.

Junot has a fragile ego. I believe all his accusers. I studied under the man. He was openly dismissive of white men, openly coddling of women, the more so the bigger the chest size. He made homophobic statements. He was just generally unpleasant and all of it came down to a fragile ego. He didn’t hold power with…

Calendar note: Bring $5 extra August 11th.

The irony of “fighting for their independence” went right over their fucking heads. It’s almost too good, like someone suggested it as a joke and no one else got the joke.

This is an allusion to Sojourner Truth’s “And Ain’t I A Woman” speech:

This legislation will never make it out of committee. Because, there, some senator can block it anonomously. If it makes it to floor the votes start becoming public and there’s some guys who won’t want to be known they support it or they’re agin it.  

How racist do you have to be to make a dude from South Carolina say it was in his top 5 racist moments?
