"This is one of the most disgusting cases that I've ever seen because it involved a police officer who abused his position of trust and sullied the badge."

Holy Non Sequitur Batman

Can we let this rumor die...it's like, 20 years old. I thought it was pretty much summed up in his autopsy report that he had VITILIGO. All of his skin treatments were used in order to even out his skin tone due to the extreme changes caused by the disorder. So, Michael is not a good example for whatever point it is…

That's true, but this could be an opportunity for Lancome to expand into creating a product that covers everyone. Like when Queen Latifah signed with Cover Girl. I remember back in the day when the only Cover Girl foundation for WOC was tan. Now, they have the Queen Collection and it's actually pretty fab. Which is…

FWIW Lancôme has had black "faces" before, including current faces Arlenis Sosa Peña (pictured) and Jasmine Tookes. Perhaps Nyong'o is the first black celebrity Lancôme face, but we can recognize the models of color who've been repping for years, too.

For some reason I thought those creams were to lighten dark spots due to acne scarring or sun spots. Kind of to even skin tone out to it's original color.

I've never commented before! This is exciting to me. I have a question. Can you almost love your body but hate your sense of style? I believe that I would be truly okay with myself if I just knew how to dress. As a 24 year old woman, I'm ashamed to say I don't have this figured out. I know I make it out to be more…

Wasn't really feeling* the Dongs sketch. It felt like they wanted as many musical sketches as possible due to Kendrick's presence and they wanted another ensemble dance bit with all the women, and actually figuring out a premise came last* in the process.

Boston University tops that at close to $61k. My alma mater! So proud.

Hmmm. I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I like the acknowledgement that we use makeup to mask imperfections - hardly anyone has the perfect complexion of a Noxema model. On the other hand, it seems sort of contradictory to say "Be who you are!" while also saying "Cover up these things that people…

I know kids can be assholes, but whatever kid said that crap about her grandfather is fucking evil.

Why troughs (what is a trough?) and why shared sinks? Genuinely curious here

There's always an asshole element in any student body unfortunately, no matter how progressive the institution is.

That's a what about the men comment, though. Because we all know that. It's understood, part of the subtext. Every single time an article mentions men someone shows up to say this, but it isn't necessary. Of course, it isn't all men!

I'm very proud that my (graduate) institution invested adequately and put in single-stall unisex bathrooms in both of its two classroom buildings during its recent remodels, though it still needs them in the library.

I wonder why on earth they decided that they needed six members of campus security for investigating why someone might have been using the wrong bathroom.

Single stall unisex bathrooms are the way forward imo, but only if Universities actually invest some money in adequate provision. I wonder why on earth they decided that they needed six members of campus security for investigating why someone might have been using the wrong bathroom. Do they have nothing better to do?…

Many people with hearing impairments do not object to the term "deaf". Although the word "dumb" does have an arcane meaning of someone who cannot speak, in almost all modern contexts everyone uses the word "dumb" to mean stupid. Many people who are hearing impaired do speak and almost all communicate by some means. …

Now I've become one of those middle-aged women who looks out for young women on public transportation. I can think of two times when I was traveling alone as a teenager when a nice older lady saved me from a creep.

I am sad this show is ending. I have really enjoyed it for the past 7 years (started a bit late in the UK) but honestly at the same time I'm happy it'll be over. This season was a slog. There are whole seasons that were a slog. I'd personally have liked last season to end with the meeting and then us to have one…
