It's like the University of Ottawa cancelling a free yoga class for the disabled because they thought it might be cultural appropriation. Then they hired an indian chick and restarted the program and the indian chick is like "wtf? I think they only hired me because I'm indian"

What's going on is that kids in University are real keeners and want to take on the big issues and change the world, but the world isn't so horrible that they will face a true injustice in the course of their 3-4 year degree, so they have to be creative and make poo poo up.

I imagine they have brainstorming sessions where they throw out random ideas until someone gets pissed off, then they all hop into action. As ridiculous as it sounds, I think this is actually how it goes. How else can you make your big break into professional activism?

quote:

Cleveland's mayor and other city officials apologized Thursday for asking for reimbursement from Tamir Rice's family for the medical services he received after he was fatally shot by a police officer.

But Tamir's family wasn't buying it, calling the incident "deeply disturbing."

The claim, filed Wednesday in probate court, sought $500 for the ambulance ride and treatment provided to Tamir, the 12-year-old boy who was shot by Cleveland police in November 2014 while in possession of a pellet gun.

How generous, they've decided to waive the nominal "killing your son" fee.
Note that this only happened after news media caught wind of the charge.

There was a news story a few years back where a college student was beaten and/or stabbed to death by his disturbed roommate. It made the news because after the poor guy died in the ER, his family was receiving insane medical bills addressed to the deceased in the standard 'contact us about your bills' format. I think SA had a thread about it titled 'if you're going to get stabbed, have the good grace to die before you get to the ER'.

Not saying it doesn't come across like a dick move, but ambulances/hospitals just send bills and don't stop to consider the circumstances of each incident before going 'welp, better get paid'

quote:

The Bearded Lady And Lobster Boy: A Valentine's Day Love Story
"There is someone for everyone. It is just knowing when you find them."



She is best known as a bearded lady. He calls himself "Lobster Boy," because of his claw-like hands.

Together, they're just another happy couple getting ready to celebrate Valentine's Day. They just happen to have fallen in love while working at the Venice Beach Freakshow in Los Angeles.

"There is someone for everyone. It is just knowing when you find them," Grady Stiles III, 39, told The Huffington Post.

He and Jessa Olmstead had known each other for years, but the love affair has heated up in recent months, as they began working more closely together at one of America's premiere sideshows. They enjoy watching movies together, eating sushi or just cuddling.

"The man makes me laugh," Olmstead, 30, told The Huffington Post. "We were cool from the start."



The two met when Stiles appeared in an episode of "Freakshow," an AMC reality show. Both of them felt an immediate connection and the possibility for something deeper.

"The first time I saw Jessa, I was amazed that she can grow a bigger beard than me," he told HuffPost. "It didn't take long for me to know we were meant for each other."

Todd Ray, who runs the Venice Beach Freakshow, said Olmstead and Stiles are a good match.

"Jessa is a bubbly, happy, nurturing person with a fun devious side. She loves history, especially the Renaissance," Ray said. "Grady is nice, caring, and just a genuinely good person. He loves to play video games and go to comic book conventions."



Ray said the couple had "a curious spark" from the day they met.

"First, it was flirting; but recently, when I brought Grady back out from Florida, it turned much more romantic," Ray said. "They made it 'official' this month…..but it's been stewing for a while."

Olmstead loves the way Stiles treats her in public.

"On our first 'official' date, we had a beautiful time on the beach and went to a great bar," Olmstead said. "I felt like he was showing me off."

Stiles admits he's smitten, so much so that he's planning to move from Florida to California in April to be with Olmstead.

"All it took was spending time with her," he said. "The more we're together, the more it feels right."



The new love affair is miles away from Stiles' early life.

He grew up in the carnival community as the son of "Lobster Boy" Grady Stiles Jr., who was convicted of third-degree murder in 1979 before being murdered himself in 1992 by a family friend.

"I'm not a fan of my dad as a person," Stiles III said on "Freakshow" back in 2014. "My father was racist [and] abusive. When I cried, [he was like] 'I'll give you a reason to cry.'"

The younger Stiles left the sideshow circuit for many years, until Ray contacted him to appear on "Freakshow."

Now, Stiles plans to work with Olmstead at the Venice Beach Freakshow.

"I never cared if someone had a similar background as myself, but it is nice, though," Stiles said.

Olmstead feels the new relationship works because they both learned to love themselves.

The couple has not discussed marriage yet, but Olmstead giggles at the thought of raising children together.

"Yeah, I'd do it," she said with a laugh.
