Man. I was raised by an atheist and an agnostic, and while I believe what I believe, I’ve never felt that there was any necessity for a third party to stand between me and whatever I believe in. And so many people who call themselves Christians drive me absolutely batshit.

As a dark-skinned person from West Africa, namely Ivory Coast, I’ll answer your question. In the USA, I see myself first as 1. African as in someone from the continent I was raised in and 2. as a black person as in my skin color is black. I don’t have to think about my skin color whenever I travel around sub-saharan…

Grinning and conspiratorial, all kinetic limbs and generous laughter,

I used to work at a Malibu eatery that featured drawings by celebrity/artists on the wall, that conspicuously featured a heart, the proceeds from the sales of which went to benefit the American Heart Association.

Yea I think this would have been overboard regardless of gender. It’s kinda creepy. I mean, it’s yogurt. Does yogurt really need to be sexy?

Because his policies are progressive and would benefit the working middle-class way more than Hilary’s would... Are you actually going to ignore his politics just because he’s an old white guy (I doubt he’s actually very rich, and definitely much less so than Hilary)?

And I mean, if you want to get away from electing rich old white people, Clinton isn’t your best option, either.

as opposed to the rich old white war hawk?

I have no “skin in the race” and, in fact, I should be one of the people who “hate” Iggy Azalia (I’m a dark-skinned Black woman and a fan of mainstream and not-so-mainstream hip-hop—- Hot 97 Summer Jam here I come!). I just think all this hand-wringing about her is just silly.

Iggy Azealia is one of the biggest selling recording artists and highest profile celebs of the last 1.5 years. If her career were “dying” Jezebel wouldn’t devote headline after headline to her—-people with dying careers don’t get this much ink spilled in their name on pop culture blogs.

Yes, that is what we call “title characters” but that doesn’t necessarily equate to “only main characters.”

Come on. You’re sending your kids to a private school named Gaia and this freaks you out? I’d be happy just to learn they weren’t showering in bong water.

But you can’t really call flavor objective when different people like different tastes.

Dear Sheryl, if my mother was here, I believe she would tell you that you will feel pure joy again. It will shimmer in a slightly different way, but there will be joy.

Saying you prefer $8 wine to $40 wine, end stop, is like saying you prefer $8 sweatpants to a $100 dress, end stop. Like, duh — you use them in different ways, and they are appropriate for different occasions.

The thing is, there’s cheap wine and then there’s cheap wine.

This is the longest “WAHHHHHHHHHH” I’ve ever read.

I think that you probably just did more to reinforce why people think 'snobby' wine people are insufferable, than you did to refute it.

Ad block plus is my best friend. Though now i’m curious what this horrible ad is all about.
