lol I am going to go up to the pranciest horse i can find and whisper 'you look like a hippopotamus to it' and see what it does. What I speak horse.
Oh yes that's a great joke, fucking nice one, wait 100 days and then charge a cop who is unrelated and oh, coincidentally black, with something relatively minor. Yes my sides are splitting.
I think it's pretty legit to fire some sarcasm at people who are hashtagging tweets about an awkward mealtime as #Ferguson
Is this definitely the translation I don't want to look a fool
I tried to say something about Ferguson on twitter but it came out as white handwringing so I shut up. But I am paying attention, and thank you for including such useful links in your roundups.
There's a high chance they are. As many a woman who tries to find a lipstick vaguely the same colour as her lips will discover, 'dusky rose' can cover anything from pale pink to mauve with tangents of brown and grey.
Somehow the fact the Kim Kardashian has 'tiny ears' has been floating to the surface of my idle internet reading recently, and now I have a wholly unexpected but strangely pleasing mashup going on.
*raises hand* I have no idea when, but I have to assume so - I grew up in a super-white place and I knew I wasn't supposed to be racist but I thought that meant you could never, ever, speak about race. The rest of my education being spent in redbrick humanities departments/rural areas (UK) hasn't exactly done much to change that. So now i feel like, although I've made a major effort to educate myself, I've not actually had that much practice at not being racist. And I mean, you can follow all the right people on twitter and read all the right blogs and even all the right theory, but it's face-to-face interaction that brings out that shit and I fully understand why people might avoid making white friends in order to avoid being that test case.
That's fantastic and I'm buying it immediately for a witchy friend to whom I owe a certain sort of favour (she turned my ex into a frog.)
(Not really. If only!)
