…this. This is literally how I see him all the time. Every time someone says “Oooh, he’s so hot!". Don’t get me wrong, he seems like a great person and an awesome actor…but not at all attractive to me.

I had kind of a revelation today.
My mom has been working on a novel for most of my life. As in, a novel. Just one.
…needless to say, it is not published, and very likely never will be.
And I realized, I feel sorry for her. She only has one story to tell, and it’s not one that people want to hear.
I have lots of stories; I’m sure there are some people won’t want to hear, but I’ll have another one waiting in the wings, ready to spread. I love all of them, but I can stand back and let them go.
I have stories that I’m in the process of telling. I have stories that I’m being paid to tell. I have stories that I don’t even know yet, but I have faith that they’re there, waiting for the right moment to be told.

I maintain that movies/TV shows should come with food warnings. Like, back when there were video stores, and they would have warnings about sexuality, violence, and swearing. Food.
How many times have you sat down and watched something, only to get halfway through and go…omfg I want a donut. I want to reach into the screen and take that character’s donut.
With food warnings, forewarned is forearmed. You can either have the food, or be prepared.

A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

Bam. Kids “misbehave” for actual, real, valid reasons. And have feelings.

For fuck’s sake, it takes the people in charge so long to figure shit like this out! Good for Lincoln High!

Teenagers are humans with valid emotions that don’t just need to be mocked or ignored? They deserve to be treated like people? Shocking!

My wife and I cannot watch The Fellowship anymore without laughing. Boromir likes his hobbits. A lot. Like, to the point of slash.
"We cannot have an honest discussion about transracial adoption if we aren’t willing to discuss race,..."
We cannot have an honest discussion about transracial adoption if we aren’t willing to discuss race, prejudice, and privilege. Adoptees need to feel safe when we talk about the instances of racism we encounter. This may not sound easy—because it isn’t easy for white parents to raise children of color. But as the mother of two multiracial children, I can say that it’s not easy for parents of color, either.
Some people who plan to adopt across racial lines give me blank looks when I suggest that they closely examine their town, their neighborhood, their local schools, their social activities and community organizations before adopting outside their race. They bristle when I emphasize the importance of educating themselves about the persistence of inequality and the experiences of transracial adoptees and people of color living in this country. Sometimes they remind me that my experiences as a transracial adoptee aren’t universal—which is true—and therefore I don’t actually know what their adopted children will face.
Maybe I don’t, and I don’t know why adopted Asian kids stare at me. I just know why I used to stare.
