I was wondering when Lifehacker would tackle weddings!

Forgot to say your comment had me praise-dancing in my living room again! :-)

This exactly. It's (in part) why I had a WIC-ass wedding and took my husband's last name. I don't have the luxury of people thinking it's cute or progressive when my (future) kids and I don't have the same last name. All they'll see is a bay mama, or worse a mistress or nanny tagging after some half-white kids.

I got married last weekend, and in part I chose my photographer because she had evidence that she knew how to shoot black people. My husband's white, and I straight up told her I didn't want any "ghost and shadow" photos.

I'm a teacher and I'm...not bothered by this. Obviously the school can't say certain things without violating her privacy, but given the prior warnings I wouldn't be surprised if the firing/resignation had something to do with her trying to be the "lone hero" in all of this. Whatever one thinks of the teacher getting

Right? I was like play your position girl.

My local theater already does this (and I live in a city). $5 Tuesdays and Sundays, plus validated parking. It's not excessively crowded on Sundays either. :-)

Beyoncé didn't go to high school. I remember she got her GED either last year or 2012.

Well, it still isn't clear if his 4th kid happened before or after Alicia, so maybe she's used to all of the triangles.

Wait, who is Melody? Why did I think her name was Millicent?

I was going to rent a wedding dress, but the styles were a but outdated, and too...flashy for me. The dress I ended up buying didn't cost that much more anyway.

Most people don't know that schools that use AA already do that (offer "class-based" AA). And it's ironic when you think about it, because like you said upthread, evaluating solely class should still produce most Black and Brown prospects, and people don't know it's "a thing" because the poor white people who get in

So...you're married to Dwight Shrute. Angela?!? :-)

Yea, the dad's out on parole I believe, and the grandma was in the next room when it happened. Neither of them were in school, but my friend teaches at Oakland's alternative school, and I think he went there last year. :-/

The picture they've released of him is from 3 years ago, but he's reportedly still a little thing: 5'5" and 140lbs. And both kids are parents themselves—the sister to a 2/3-year-old and the brother to a 6-month/1-year-old (sources vary). And to really stick a fork in it, their mom's in jail. There are just layers of

It looks like they pasted Ciara's face over hers.

Yea, I'm in the Bay Area, so we're nothing special. :-)

Fwiw, a quick google doesn't turn up anything quoting Robin or Paula saying they have an open marriage. And his latest single appears to be autobiographical and references cheating, so I'm not surprised media outlets are all over it.

Ham my fiancé and I say "Swirl!" in a funny voice. But where we live interracial couples in which half the couple is black seem to be more common than two-black person pairs.
