Chadwick Boseman is hitting me so hard. I lost my mom earlier this year to a rare colorectal cancer (appendix...it’s what Stuart Scott had). He was such a talent and wonderful person behind it all. Knowing what I know about treatment, he’s a damn miracle doing all he did in the last 4 years of his life.

Thank you for saying that last part! I’ve seen some horrible posts on social media trying to turn his decision to keep working over the past four years into some kind of bizzarro productivity fodder.

My husband didn’t know until after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer that his grandfather and uncle both died of it.  He unfortunately let the symptoms go for too long before seeking medical attention.  My son, however, has been vigilant about colonoscopies.  He had 7 benign polyps removed after the first…

Colon Cancer PSA: If anyone in your family history has ever had polyps in their colon (even if they were benign), please ask them when they were diagnosed and start pressing your primary care provider or gastroenterologist around a decade before those polyps (benign or malignant) were found in your family member.…

Take a look at Chadwick Boseman’s filmography through the years of his diagnosis. It is pretty darn impressive. He was a prolific talent. We mourn for his family and his wife. We also mourn the loss of a great one on the precipice of more greatness.

A male being 25 years older isn’t surprising to anyone.

It boggles the mind how rarely anything gets corrected here. 

Liam Payne also met his fiancee when she was 18 (or maybe 17, even) and he was, like, 26. There’s a theme here and it’s gross. 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Every rule has an exception, and I’ve been wrong before. I’m not gonna die on this hill or anything. But you understand that having a long-term, healthy, functional relationship with that level of age gap is vanishingly rare, right? 

Yeah, I’m 27 and the only people I spend time with in their mid-50s are my partner’s parents and their significant others. They’re nice people and I really enjoy our dinners and game nights together, but I can’t imagine partnering with anyone their age.

When I was about her age, I dated a guy 13 years my senior and there were plenty of times when it was weird, or at the very least extremely obvious that we had an age gap. At the time, I was really just starting my career and so I was always working late (he was a manager so he could pretty much always leave on time).…

Now that we all know Brad Pitt has been dating Nicole Poturalski, a hot German model some 20 years his senior,

It’s definitely mis-written up there that she is his senior by 20 years. If she is 70, then she is definitely a vampire.

And now for some reason she changed "27" to "20," and never changed "senior" to "junior." Lol!

Well, Brad Pitt had a rough stretch for a while there, and that’ll age a person. I think Paul Rudd’s managed to steer clear of that kinda shit.

I wish she spoke about her privilege as a light skin black woman. I am, too, and the pressure and racism exists for us, but is not the same. When women like us become ambassadors of afro hair is our duty to point out why we are allowed such spaces in the first place. I look bit like her and in general, Ive received…

I think you meant 27 years his junior.

I mean, why not lean into it? I worked with a woman who’d always intended to name a daughter “June.” Turns out she married a guy with the last name “Showers,” and she was too much of a chicken to embrace it and also too stubborn to come up with a new name altogether, so the kid ended up being Juna Showers. Which, to…

It seems snark is all that Joan has anymore. 

Are you all still clapping?
