Also my theory.

"Lean in" actually means "put some weight into that stabbing thrust, lady."

Happy "Oops Was That Antifreeze, I Totally Thought It Was Midori, My Bad."

THIS!

Or that someone tells me "It is so nice that your husband helps out with the house and the kids!"

Ha my Dad said that to me about his own son (who is A LOT younger than me) I had to be like no dad not babysitting just being a parent! And he is a progressive man and hands on Dad, but still like Lindy said, these assumptions run deep.

Both my grandmothers, all of my great-aunts and my great-grandmother worked. My great-grandmother worked as a laundress and a caterer; she and my great-grandfather owned decent sized house and some land in Mississippi before they came to Chicago. Not too many black people had that kind of money. They were able to buy…

Mine too. Nurses, sardine factory workers, teachers (my grandma went to college long before it was the norm and got a masters in education and became a principal, go grandma!), secretaries, farmers, etc. Like most families, mine is not one with a long history of wealth, so everyone has always worked.

I love tales of mischievous ghosts. I just imagine that they're bored and want to fuck with the living.

This is my cat... except she likes elastic plastic and rubber.

Weird, because I don't usually eat pineapple because it often has a fishy flavor to me...no, really.
