I was at the saloon and a girl was beside me making her hair. She kept asking for her edges to be gel-ed down and the stylist said "don't tell me what to do, you don't know more than me".
I stepped in and said to the stylist, "you wouldn't say that to an adult client....

When white ppl bring up "Black on black crimes" they really mean to say "yall kill each other why can't we kill you.

I’m tricking my students into writing a research paper by having them write an open letter and then strengthen their argument by adding evidence. They were allowed to write about anything they wanted for the first draft of their open letter, and one of my 10th grade boys decided he wanted to write about girls who only like bands because the members are cute and don’t really care about the music.

I let him do it because I’ve found that shutting down a student’s idea at the first draft stage tends to make them more obstinate about the topic. I figured we’d get to the evidence-gathering stage, he wouldn’t be able to find scholarly sources and he would change his topic.

Well lo and behold, today he comes into class and tells me he’s changing his topic. Apparently, he couldn’t find any evidence and he figured he was being kind of hypocritical because he gets really excited about athletes he doesn’t even know and the only reason that’s different than fangirls is because it’s him. He actually told me that he realized that writing that first letter would be pretty condescending. He’s going to write about LGBT rights instead.

This next generation, y’all. There’s some good stuff happening.

After hurricane Rita in Houston I didn't have power for 6 weeks. That was ~20 years ago. It's not new for this country to abandon people. I thought we learned this after Katrina??

“Popular culture has often painted single moms as unlovable, desperate, pathetic creatures who have lost at life,” writes Jamilah Lemieux. “Though I was very public about my motherhood in hopes of defying stereotypes, frequently posting about my daughter and writing about my life online, I couldn’t help but worry perhaps I had, in fact, saddled my child (and myself) with a burden that would hold each of us back.”

For years, Lemieux hesitated to write about single motherhood because she didn’t want to be associated with something so openly loathed. And as a Black single mother, the stereotypes and scrutiny surrounding her arrangement were only heightened. But as the number of single moms like her rapidly grew, Lemieux questioned whether the increasing number of white women among them would shift the social stigma attached to their family structure.

In a new essay for The Cut, Lemieux explores which single moms avoid the shame associated with the label, how Black moms have modeled how single moms can successfully raise children outside of a nuclear family, and how stereotypes surrounding single motherhood hinder women at large. Read her full story at the link below.

I've been seeing the same therapist for almost three years, deep stuff, things I've never said out loud to anyone else in my life. Trusted her completely.

Tonight I was at a dinner party with my husband's coworkers, a group I don't know well, and one woman started telling a story to the table…. "so I have this friend who's a therapist, and she was telling me about this client of hers, you will not believe this one".... and started describing a situation that was unmistakably mine. Not vague. Specific. The exact details of something I told my therapist four months ago, something only she and I know.

I sat there through the entire story, smiling in the right places, while a room full of strangers laughed about the worst year of my life like it was a punchline.

I didn't say anything at the party. I couldn't figure out how to, without unraveling in front of people I'd never met.

I've been sitting in my car in the driveway for twenty minutes since we got home, not ready to go inside yet. I have my therapist's number pulled up on my phone. I don't know if I'm calling her tonight or waiting until my actual appointment on Thursday, but I know I'm not letting this go quietly.

I know Penn State is getting a lot of attention because of this Frat Cocain story, but I remember the Sandusky scandal & how they helped to cover that up. Joe Paterno, their beloved football coach, died in disgrace. That was something.

if pluto in aquarius really did bring the end of celebrity, I think it would be less from a place of “we hate celebrities” and more from a place of “we hate seeing what being a celebrity does to people” (esp child stars).

A biology teacher in Pine Bluff, Arkansas noticed one of her students kept falling asleep in class. Instead of sending her to the principal, she asked why. The girl was living with a grandmother who had no bed for her, in a house with termites eating the walls and the electricity shut off. The teacher, Crystal Barnes, bought a bed frame and mattress with her own money, on a fifty thousand dollar salary. When she delivered it, the girl asked if she could also have some food. She was hungry. Barnes now keeps a cart of snacks in her classroom, paid for out of pocket, because she can't undo what federal cuts have done but she can do that much.

Barnes found her own way out of a similar hole as a pregnant fifteen year old, through a nonprofit that fed her son and helped her finish school. She's spending her career paying that forward one bed, one snack cart at a time. It's not policy. It's not enough. It's just what's left when policy fails and someone still shows up anyway.

In the UK, some trans people are deliberately dehydrating themselves because they are too scared to use a public toilet.

During a heatwave.

Read that again.

People are risking heat exhaustion, kidney problems and dehydration because using the toilet has become something they fear.

This is what relentless political and media hostility does. It turns an ordinary human need into a source of fear.

Nobody should have to calculate how much water they can safely drink before leaving the house.

Nobody should have to choose between their health and their safety.

And nobody should look at this and think, “This is fine.”

We have to keep speaking up. We have to keep showing up. We have to keep refusing to let cruelty become normal.

Trans people deserve to live ordinary lives in public without fear. 🏳️‍⚧️ @andyburnham @ZackPolanski @jeremycorbyn @UKLabour @MayorofLondon @LGBTLabour @EHRC

"The legacy media crossed every line in the treatment of Jason"

"They were gleefully enjoying racialised harassment which was started by an unapologetic ethno supremacist"

"Imagine being so lost in the business of cruelty, that you relish hurting another human for sport, with your own poisoned pen"

"Imagine an industry that rewards those who hold this pen for how cruel they can be"
