This whole vaccine donut social media celebrations debate brings to mind a question I have: do white people not have the “favor ain’t fair” adage??? Why is everything reduced to “some people will be envious”? That’s literally how life goes. But then again I’m vaxxed
People are getting donuts. Favor ain’t fair.

People posting selfing getting vaccinated. Favor ain’t fair.

The thing is, getting rid of donuts and selfies won’t make the vaccine rollout more equitable. These are separate issues.
Sometimes, favor just ain’t fair. You can care about the inequalities and work on them even without being mad about the favor that doesn’t change the inequality one bit.

I roll my ideas at texts all. the. time. A certain literature professor friend knows this to be true. And then you know what? It’s fine. No one dies. Just roll your eyes and move on.
Your conscription into this, the lowest hanging fruit of the culture wars, is weird and silly and unserious.
Read around it. Read through it. Don’t read it at all. But stop pretending you care. You don’t.

I am actually surprised to see some of the names in these replies. I don’t get why people care so much about the readability of books for which they are not the audience.
If you are a celebrity or airport book writer or a television host (just a few of the careers therein), why do you care this much about a humanities text? That’s just strange.
Roseanne Cash. Lawrence O’Donnell. Jeff Jarvis (that one makes sense). Why are they invested in this so much?

Y'all, I am dying. Someone broke into my n'hood clubhouse and essentially had a party. There are video stills circulating and very tough language being thrown around. When you look at the photos, it's clearly somebody's badass kids bored at 3 am. They didn't even do anything.
By all accounts they broke in and basically staged a reading of The Breakfast Club? No property damage or drugs or anything interesting.
Most boring teenagers in the history of mankind.

Anyway, this is renewing calls for armed security. The suburbs is wild.

Update: I rescind my Athleta plus size ad snark. The leggings are so butter that I have gone back for a second haul. And all the plus size discussion groups are in tears talking about how positive their in-store experiences have been. So thumbs up to Athleta.
Like, people are legit crying in one of my groups because Athleta has all sizes in store, across the store, and kind sales people.
I’ve talked so much about Athleta that Lululemon wants to send me the competition lol
