'Trash'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Good luck, ita!
I was planning on using a Groupon to have a pizza delivered, but it says eat in or pick-up only. Pfui! Had I realized that earlier, I would have brought it with me to work. I think I am too lazy to pick up tonight, which was the whole point of getting a pizza!
All crossables crossed, ita!
Wheee ita! Fingers crossed!
Noah Feldman says we should thank upper-class white Protestants for the fact that the US now has such diversity in the elite. Or something. Honestly, I've read this twice, and I'm still not quite sure what he's trying to say. [link]
I don't know if they're going to want me here. I'm listening to some poor woman go through spelling hoops to indicate which of the similarly sounding me-alikes she's talking about. She's having the most confusion.

I'm pretty sure it's that our innate superiority is proven by the fact that we graciously ceded our strangle-hold on the power of this country. And by "our," I mean people who are superficially similar to me but in no way my actual ancestors. My Protestant ancestors were lower-class; my upper-class ancestors were Catholic.
~jobma for ita.
not sure why my mom arriving has led to me being an anxiety attack on legs. Maybe because I know mac has someone here that he feels safe with and has no other place to be. Maybe because it means the move in 16 days is really really real. Maybe because with someone else looking at it all I can see is all that is NOT done at my place. GAH!
The Protestant governing elite must also bear its own share of responsibility for slavery and racial discrimination. Yet, after the ideals of meritocratic inclusion gained a foothold, progress was remarkably steady and smooth.
You see, it's because the white Protestant elite were the cause of the vast majority of systemic discrimination in this country that they should also get credit for ending it! I mean, things are all perfectly equal now, right? We've got a black President and two chicks on the Supreme Court! Progress COMPLETE.
