As soon as I saw Sandwich, I knew it was Massachusetts. We also have a Mashpee, which I always spelled Mashpea until I goggled it. Also, I <3 your taste in music, Lindy!

When I heard that as a kid, I literally thought the person meant someone with freckles. I was a horrible child.
I'm at work and I literally snorted when I read that one.
She writes for The Root now, but she used to have an AMAZING blog. She doesn't update this anymore, but you will fall down the rabbit hole into amazingness.
I find it interesting that people usually have no problem looking down their nose at kids named Jaqwan or ShaDiamond, but Apple and Pilot Inspektor, sounds fine and dandy! I wonder why those names don't come up in conversations about people with "stupid" names. I can't lie, I would go with ShaDiamond any day of the…
For me, it's even more weird when things that been a part of my upbringing and culture FOREVER suddenly become popular with white people. It's a very interesting dynamic, because most POCs I know treat it like a Starbuck's moving into your neighborhood. Kind of like "oh, white people are taking over this thing we've…
I'm one of those moral criminals that so many people hate. I've had two abortions. The first was because I became pregnant after I was raped. The second one was a lot more complicated. I was 22 and mentally ill. There's not a nicer way to say it. I was suffering from PTSD from what had happened to me at the age of 18…
Thank you...just think you, hun. :D
*comes down from ledge* Thank you. I needed that.
Please someone, SOMEONE, send me a hug or a gif of some motherfucking cats, SOMETHING, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. I've been arguing with this fucking idiot on gawker about why it's not okay to call a black person that does something bad the n-word. I. JUST. CANNOT. TODAY.
I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but IF HE'S COMFORTABLE ENOUGH TO DO THAT FUCKED UP SHIT IN PUBLIC, WHAT DO YOU THINK IS HAPPENING AT HOME?!?! This is beyond fucking "Oh, they got into an argument, leave them alone". I would venture to say that most abusers operate behind closed doors and in silence. They're the…
I am just too fucking done here. Guys really believe this stupid ass bullshit. It's easy for me to kind of weed them out, but not all the damn time. It's like, "oh yeah. I'll fuck the fat one, 'cause I know that bitch is so desperate and lonely she'll give it up and she mad fat, so you know she be cooking". I get so…
I agree with you. I got an occasional spanking. I really mean occasional. Like, I would have to do something really off the charts. My mom was more of a "you're grounded" or take away something that I wanted. I'll never forget my mom told me if I didn't clean my room, she wouldn't take me to the Barbie show. I didn't…
This is Adrienne Bailon...and also my jam in 9th grade.
I'm soooo not shocked. I work with teenagers, and we did an entire lesson on empathy recently. I wish I could do that with everyone, but even then, there's probably some that wouldn't get it. Too damn many of us have had a hard time in this country, based on race, or gender, or orientation, or a host of other…
