You know what? FOX 2 Detroit ended their high school essay contest in 1995 because of me. I was the last winner. A (white) teacher at another HS accused me and my (white) AP English teacher of cheating. Essay was "too long." Previous winners read their essays on TV. I only got to visit the studio.
Happy five-month birthday to this post. 🎂

Last week I spoke to Omar Compean, the 18-year-old frontman of Houston emo ska band I Hate Myself And I Want To Die. On Sunday, they played their last ever show because Omar's father was arrested by ICE and deported to Mexico. "It basically just all got ripped away from me just in an instant."
After ICE deported his dad, a Houston teen is mourning his music dreams

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

I know it's International Cat Day but the Galveston County Daily News says you should check out these raccoons.
What a cover from the Globe and Mail! A photojournalist embedded with Ethiopia's Fano militia, and the story and photos are really remarkable. I sometimes forget newspapers can do projects like this.
Lot of back to school photos this week. This was one of my favorites.
Outkast’s Ms Jackson just came on at the gym and I will never in my life be able to hear that song without thinking about this comic
Weirdly, The Province in Vancouver was one of at least three newspapers in North America to feature a story about a rash of Pokémon-card thefts on its front page today. ¯\(ツ)/¯
You might think the US running out of missiles is bad, but we've spent over a century building up soft power with other nations, a vast complex of diplomatic outreach through trade and programs like USAI— oh fuck oh no aw beans dangit
A canine mass grave was discovered at a "no-kill" sanctuary in Northern California. A San Francisco Chronicle investigation finds that signs were ignored for decades.
The WNBA has never had a trans woman play in the league’s 30-year history and now the right and other anti-trans activists are hammering the league over something that has never been an issue, proving once again it isn’t about protection but exhibiting cruelty toward trans people.
I'm a sucker for a corn pun and today's front pages featured not one but two! Indianapolis dropping kernels of wisdom with "Born on the Cob" and Mansfield, Ohio, popping off with "Stalk Market"
Kind of a strangely high number of USA Today network newspapers featuring big beverage packages today -- Tiki bars in Phoenix, a notable bar in Cincinnati, coffeeshops in Knoxville, and beer in Des Moines.
Jesse Owens started his history-making performance at the 1936 Olympics 90 years ago this week, with a gold medal run in the 100 meters on Aug. 3. Great headline, illustration, and tribute to his legacy in The Columbus Dispatch this morning.
The Trib says IT'S 'CLOUD AURA' on the second day of Lollapalooza, which means 1) it rained and 2) maybe we're done with "aura." With Smashing Pumpkins co-headlining, at least one festival-goer called it "parents night"
"When the first of August came round, the Professor realized he had pleasantly trifled away nearly two months at a task which should have taken little more than a week." -Willa Cather (from The Professor's House, 1925)
Just a few of the Spain newspapers that featured the scene at Ceuta, where hundreds of migrants swam ashore.
This is going to make it very difficult to know which sports we should ban them from.
