Read a Mo F'n Book, N'er! Posted: 2 years ago by 2manyusernames
Problem, how do you get children, especially minority children to read? Not sure the best method, but this video running on Black Entertainment Television that teaches kids to read "Not a sports page, not a magazine, but a book n****r, a f**kin’ book n****r" is probably not it.

NSFW... The C-U-Next-Tuesday Coloring Book Posted: 3 years ago by gnikgnok
’In 1973 I set out to do drawings of women’s genitals for use in sex education groups. I wanted the drawings to be lovely and informative, to give pleasure and affirmation. I organized the drawings into a coloring book because a major way we learn to understand the world, as children, is by coloring. As adults many of us still need to learn about our external sexual anatomy.’ -Tee Corinne

What is snark? It's not big and it's not clever Posted: 3 months ago by Bornbad
How does snark work? Snark is hazing on the page. It prides itself on wit, but it's closer to a leg stuck out in a school corridor that sends some kid flying. It pretends to be all in fun, and anyone who's annoyed by it will be greeted with the retort, "How can you take this seriously? What's wrong with you?"
