So, I'm betting you aren't an alumna of Miss Porters, are ya? ;)

When I was 18, I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't sentimental,so I threw out my diaries and hundreds of conversation-long notes that my friends and I had passed to each other. I'd give almost anything to be able to read all those again.

Where did she go to school? At my high school walking around in white gloves and pearls would have just got you the shit kicked out of you everyday until graduation.

It adds nothing to a conversation that you want to have. Which is fine: I accept that people who choose to make it a central part of their identity, or who feel compelled to accept it as part of their identity, are generally not interested in interrogating it, in the same way that people who derive their identity from…

It's not an easy subject to grasp. We've all been trained to think that races are inherently different, even though we don't really understand the biology. That's why headlines like "HPV vaccine doens't work on black women" are so harmful. They contribute to that misconception. And I'm not targeting Jezebel writers,…

We are gaining more and more insight into just how crucial a role genetics plays in how we respond to disease and how one vaccine does not fit all.

I think it's important to note that there is no biological difference between black women and white women. Race is a social construction that does not reflect any genetic reality; indeed, there is more variation within any human population than among any two populations. In practice, that means that a "black" person…

Ooh, I know this! Let's see... It's Cosmo, so the answer is... Stick a finger up his butt!

The good, responsible ones do that. They all should.

"When asked about his plans for the wedding, Kanye responded, "Two words: fighter jets.""

I agree with this. Kanye's always come across as someone who is conflicted between two primary images—the uber-celebrity and the above-it-all celebrity—and he wants to synthesize them, but his personality is so over the top that he's rarely taken seriously.

I agree with that. A very good friend of mine years ago was certain that implants (she was an A and went to a C) would fix all of her problems. When she found out that all it did was send her on a bra shopping trip, she kind of flipped out. Left her husband - a genuinely great guy - and walked away from all of her…

Yay! Cheap weddings are awesome! Mr. Panspermia and I did the same thing and tacked on dinner with the parents afterwards. Total cost: $300. It is the only way to go!

He's living with Kris Jenner, and look what that has done to Bruce.

Yup, this.

Also he misses his Mom, and he may never forgive himself for paying for her surgery.

My theory (one of a few) is that he genuinely loves Kim, but is trying to fight what her reputation means for his brand by kicking out at the wrongs of the media world, and its treatment of the pair of them. Now's as good a time as any to go all guns blazing after the unjust ways he's been treated for being a black…

Thank you for clarifying. I was getting really frustrated at those who were focusing on grammar as a way to subconsciously (or consciously) derail from the point. It tends to happen a lot on the articles that people of color write. That or you get a lot of comments from people that say "I don't know what you're…

@morninggloria: And that would be different from most conversations how...?
