That is an amazing name for a sandwich.

Peanut butter and pickles. Not the sweet kind - ew - but high-quality, salty pickles.

Didn’t know this. Thanks!

Yeah, I would still have the same problem, but it wouldn’t be a symptom of systematic oppression. You don’t see women choosing for men day in and day out. If J-Law’s character had been the one to wake Pratt up, then she’d be the asshole and Pratt should be salty with her.

Yeah, let’s talk about Passengers. What the fuck - that surprised you? It also surprised my husband, another privileged, good-looking white man. “But the movie was good!” “But she forgave him!” “But it had a good ending!”

Ha! Yeah, pretty much.

We had a great protest in LA. Lots of families, kids, older people, young people, lots of different backgrounds and ethnicities and colors. Loved it.

So dismal. I had one other friend that voted. Even my husband “forgot” he was out of town and didn’t send in his absentee ballot. I would have thought that with the outrage at the November election, people would have stepped up.

Yeah - it never occurred to me that the pink was related to the color of the pussy. Thought it just meant women-power.

Correcting myself. Not white. Doesn’t matter.

So it’s late at night on the East Coast, which is probably why this isn’t updated, but LA Times is reporting an 8-year-old boy also died, and as we all guessed, it was a (white) man who was trying to kill his (estranged) wife.

Not my first thought, but yes, now I see it. I wonder if reversing it - a black child and a white mother - would make it any better. Because at that point, is it saying a white woman had to raise a black child that a black woman couldn’t?

Yes, sadistic, and possibly a control thing. If you aren’t into it, say it.

Amen to this. I had a mom in my social circle that was trying very hard to hang out with me - but then she made a comment like “I can’t believe little Mustang still gets so many colds considering you are breastfeeding. My kid doesn’t get any colds!” Not that big of a deal, but the second straw was when someone asked…

Same here - white woman always reading the Root, not usually commenting.

Yep - Sessions once indicated his approval of the KKK while investigating the lynching of a young black man. 

The body language of Schlapp alone - slightly turned away from Johnson - is telling enough. It’s disgusting.

Hi, Wedding Twin. We did pretty much the same. No showers, no gifts. A girls’ trip turned into a bachelorette party, but not at my request, and it was only one night of debauchery. I agreed to a “women’s party” but no gifts, which worked well. No speeches (I whipped the microphone out of my dad’s hand when he…

I agree with you on thank you notes. I think it’s incredibly rude, and I love sending and receiving thank you notes. Acknowledgement is real! Even an e-mail is totally okay.

Bought my own kitchenaid. So glad I didn’t wait for a wedding for it. Also, it means I could buy the one with the stronger motor and not feel bad that it was so pricey.
