Very true. I thought of Mediterranean also but going trans-Atlantic is about 10x more expensive than going to the Caribbean. We’ll probably just go to Florida (and I know how lucky I am to be able to travel at all! No need to call the wah-mbulance.)

Two things:

This may be unpopular, but as a Massachusetts resident aka Masshole, I am proud to see Mitt stepping up to denounce Trump and our current governor Charlie Baker stating unequivocally that he would not vote for Trump. I’m independent and vote liberal, and did not/would not vote for these two in any election, but it’s…

I resent that. My digits are proportional and my pelt is au naturale.

Person of color invents creative style —-> copied without attribution by white artist —-> devolution into caricature or actual cartoon. Never seen that before.

But what could be more amusing than mocking the help? Is that not why they’re there???!?

Such beauty... so timely... all kindness that they were not given but still extend... much industry meltdown

Coming from a secular Hindu: Amen! The anti-aging police appear to think that women would be best served by disappearing from the planet at 40. Fuck that noise. We earned this life.

I had cancer at 29 and a recurrence at 31. Every gray hair is a reminder I didn’t die when I was 29. Every wrinkle is another day I got to spend with my family and on the planet because I didn’t die.

Dear Wests: You are fabulously wealthy for (a) being a rapper or (b) having no discernible talent or contribution to the world. Why the persecution complex? For reasons that are mysterious but reflect the fundamental unfairness of the universe, you have won the lottery of life. Now go enjoy it and leave us mortal…

Trader Joe’s shiraz in a box!

I know evolution doesn’t generally go backward, but man could us lady-parts owners use an impenetrable exoskeleton that only comes off when we’re ready. Ultimate assault deterrent.

I’m now thinking I may just wait a few years until I’ve paid down student loan debt and can buy a house, then foster/adopt. Turns off the damn biological clock at least.

I’m an MD finishing training at a huge academic center. My residency program is about 25% female. Not a single woman has “dared” to have a baby during residency in the last 10 years. I finally got hired as faculty for next year so now can consider trying for a first child at the age of 35. Fuck this system so much.

...the city of Cleveland is working “toward a settlement if, in fact, we believe it is fair to all parties.”

This calls for more than a cage match.

To be fair, people have heart attacks during marathons all the time, with or without the presence of donuts.

Domo arigato Mr. Rubioto

Yes, I’ve had it asked of me in Massachusetts, DC, Texas, California, and Maine. One person asked me if the “dot” was like a birthmark that all Indian people happen to have.

A giant NO to this: “others make the argument that a black American woman appropriating from Indian culture has less impact than a white woman doing the same”. When a black/Latinx/Native or any variety of POC asks me “are you dot or feather” or “why are you eating beef” or “explain reincarnation to me,” it is no less…
