Who is she? She doesn't look like a Brit, more like one of your lot.

She's a Brit, alright. Notice how she smiles with her lips closed to cover her teeth or lack thereof?

[LuFins Dad]

“Bee Lavender is an activist, author, entrepreneur, and expat. Her contributions as a social media pioneer caused Time Magazine to call her a “reigning mother superior,” and she was the CEO of a startup acquired by Facebook. She is currently the founder and CEO of a tech security company.

Bee is the critically-acclaimed author of Lessons in Taxidermy and editor of the anthologies Breeder and Mamaphonic. She has written for The Guardian, Salon, Catapult, Bust, Bitch, and appeared on many NPR and BBC Radio programs. Her writing regularly appears in anthologies in both the United States and the United Kingdom.”

That's hilarious. Quite obviously a cop's holster.

"Bee Lavender was born and raised on a peninsula west of Seattle."

Admittedly, it's very rare for an American to learn how to shut their mouth, but she seems to have managed it - presumably a skill learned while living abroad.

Ok, how many of you have tried to draw a gun from a retention holster?

[Copper]

That smug look is just asking for it.

Reza Aslan might call it "punchable."

How many of you have tried grabbing a British policeman by his truncheon?

his truncheon

So that's what you call it.

I have. It's not as simple as it seems, especially if you're not the one wearing it.

It was either that or his helmet.

Why is she weapons trained? That comment was weird given her context.

Because she's a badass, while condemning actual badasses. It's a thing, watch for it.

Well, Twitter's certainly not had any stupid shit at all on it since then, so it's definitely worth discussing.

You, sir, are correct.

There's a magazine called "Bitch?"
Can't really google search using that word, too many unrelated results.
I'd like to write an article for Bitch.
Actually, I think most people on this forum could write an engaging article for Bitch.
Thanks, Bitch!

The fancy scarf in the picture should have given it away. She breeds labs.
