The fact that black men and white women can get good deals from them but black women (her, Wanda Sykes) cannot is a great example of how intersectionality works re: discrimination and bias.

Until Precious, I believe, Monique was almost entirely a stand-up comedian. It’s how she got her start.

Yes, and I love him for it! Recently finished a rewatch since it’s on Hulu and it’s still pretty great. I have a fondness for it as it’s one of the few shows my parents and I can watch together when I visit.

Or like, not have a kid at all? (I can’t remember if she’s pregnant in the show, but I kind of hope not. Not all marriages have to produce children!)

I did not know this, but I would totally watch this. I will watch Terry Crews do just about damn near anything.

It’s a shame that it comes down to this. People, for the most part, will be forgiving when parents are making an effort to manage their children’s behavior, but so many seem to just not give a damn, and when you call them out on it, they act like it’s your fault.

It does the best brown rice, beans, and lentils. (It’s good for other things, but it does those things better than any other method/device I’ve tried.)

This sounds like a good set-up for people in efficiency apartments (i.e. no real kitchen). Feel like that plus and instant pot and a hotplate and you can do quite a lot.

She was clearly heavily influenced by the Romantic Movement (ending just a few decades before born), of which nature-as-metaphor and enjoying natural splendor was A Thing.

I still can’t believed they cancelled it. It must have cost pennies to produce since it was purposefully bad green screen and most of the guests were shilling other Netflix content.

I did and it’s not worth it, imo.

Miriam Margolyes on Graham Norton is such a f’ng gift to the world.

Someone mentioned Catherine Tate upthread, and now I want to see her do this. Her or Tracy Ullman.

Amazon (evil, I know) carries a few variety packs of Idomie, which are my personal favorite instant noodle—six flavors, four each.

Although their relatively low flavor ranking for the other Indomie flavor represented makes this list suspect imo. (I prefer the satay and fried noodle flavors myself, however.)

They are also clearly far superior citizens than she is.

ALL of this. It’s much easier to blame his height, which you cannot control, than the other issues (alcoholism, depression, criminal record) most of which he can get treatment for if he chooses.

AND it sounds like he assumes that just because this friend isn’t having sex with her husband, she must want it with him. She may just have been confiding in and/or venting to him but he’s seeing it as an invitation.

Ryan is every shitty boyfriend a fat girl (or other person who has been taught from birth that they’re not worthy of for whatever reason) in her early-mid 20's thinks she deserves. It’s such a perfect slice of experience. Once I stopped settling for whatever, dudes I used to date stumbled over themselves to step up…

I continually am dumbfounded by the lack of stylish options for fat ladies. I can count the retailers on one hand and we make up most of the US market. F’ng TARGET doesn’t stock a wide plus line in-store because “image.” It’s ridiculous.
