If there’s a performance, then I hope Lalah (his daughter) performs. 

“..because this is not a conversation we should still be having in the closing of the year of our Lord, 2018.” Very true! But then you must admit that colorism today is as pronounced as i’ve experienced it in a while, and it’s in your face - from movie casting to tv roles where its mostly light-skin black actresses…

My employer subsidizes 75% of the cost for emergency child or elder care. It’s a tiny blurb on our HR website and yet, when I’ve told three employees about it this week they told me that I saved their jobs. Being a caretaker is financially, physically, and emotionally taxing. Hope to see more employers take Best…

That’s a cute picture of Harry & Meghan for wedding album filler, but who wants a Christmas card where you only see the backs of the subjects’ heads?

so sad. any child of the 70s knows her work well and any child of a single divorced mother knows these stories and headlines and their effect too.

What an excellent and well written review. So lovely to see you, Cate, and I hope that you’ll be doing a bunch more of these!

I’m not a dyed-in-the-wool hater of either candidate, and I’m not eager to relive 2016 by any means, but that was some ugly, ugly shit in that campaign. It’s just a fact that Bernie had a lot of loud supporters who were very much not fair to Clinton. Hillary’s people were the same way to Bernie. And it’s going to be…

Cardi B’s lawyer can fuck right off.

there is some deep, deep control issues regarding women and their households.

I think this is all about mindset, not necessarily obvious or blatant prejudices. Chances are any given millennial man, even a lovely, un-sexist, full on partner-in-life like my husband, grew up in a household where his mother was running the show as far as domestic matters went. Fast forward to his own adult life,…

Sounds like she gave that money to charity (“sizaeble donation”); hopefully it was every cent they paid her.

Ayanna, fix my legislation!

I will now be googling every one of those brands...

Of course, one of the problems with fast fashion is the tendency to throw it out as styles change

They are marketed aggressively to black women. Advertised as “Flat Tummy Tea” because society’s beauty standard for black women is the ridiculously impossible combo of thin waists with large behinds. JJ is giving too much credit to KK here. The Klan knows fully well they achieved their proportions with an army of…

I got my bridesmaid dresses from David’s Bridal and everything about it was great--the prices, the shopping experience, stores around the country AND all my bridesmaids who had different body types looked amazing! 

The last paragraph says it all: private equity. These corporate vultures purposely load an acquisition with a heavy amount of debt these companies didn’t originally generate with the absolute expectation of an eventual bankruptcy—thus destroying the company, but also wiping out the debt. Just imagine if you could…

When I was in my 20s/early 30s I was like a real life 27 dresses. Everyone talks smack about David bridal but as a short and sometimes plus size woman I like that they actually carried dresses in various sizes in the store so I wasn’t guessing based on measurements how some bridesmaid dress was going to fit. I had…

I try not to judge black women who bleach or use lighteners, because it is hard to love yourself when everyone shits on you and it has been proven in numbers that you’re lot in life gets better at every intersection the lighter you are. But black people who willingly promote and aid in the sales of these things are…
