I used to hold similar views to yours - and I know many, mostly black women who still do. I understand the place that it comes from, but it is incredibly damaging because it never. Ever. Stops at just adopting the white man’s narrative of “because white women” and always involves excuses being made for when black men…

I cook almost every night (necessity, cooking for five is a lot more affordable than take out for five) and the Damn Delicious blog (I think her name is Chou ang Rhee) is the best cooking blog ever if you want cheap, delicious, idiot proof, and minimal ingredients.

Oh articles like this is where Jezebel’s commentariat really shine.

My three year old daughter wants to be Sheriff Callie, the only Sheriff Callie costume Disney has signed off on is a one piece blue satin skirt ensemble. I mean are you f’ING kidding me she’s an anthropomorphic cat sheriff with woodpecker and talking cactus deputies and that’s OK so long as the costume for her doesn’t…

They fill different niches. I need Nyx and fifty different kinds of shampoo to choose from therefore I need Ulta. I need YSL and MUFE therefore I need Sephora. Now if all of those things existed in one store I would happily cut up my Sephora and Ulta cards both.

I love Amanda Quick’s 90s work. It’s a shame the fire in her work went out a while ago.

Commenters on the site swing wildly from “The justice and police systems in this country treat people who are white or rich or famous differently from the rest of us and that’s not fair” to “What kind of hater would call Caitlyn a murderer when the police assure us she shouldn’t be charged?!” and clicking their…

There aren’t enough gifs in the world for this.

“I had this jar that I would collect dollars, in fact we were so poor, it would have been cents, so I probably had nineteen cents to go to this surgery that I really didn’t know a lot about,”

What do Diplo, Tiny, T.I., Iggy, Nicki, Angel Haze, Kendrick Lamar, Kreayshawn, Jim Jones, Pharrell, Baauer, Rita Ora, Asap Rocky, Lily Allen, Lady Gaga, Lil Kim, gay people, and Jewish people have in common?

"The Wallflower series by Lisa Kleypas would adapt nicely into a quartet of lush costume dramas in the style of The Young Victoria."

I never really considered *not* having children at my wedding because I always looked at weddings as two people coming together to create a family, and the guests are members of the family and close friends that are coming together this day, even if they never see each other again, in recognition of these two people…

At some point in time it became acceptable, while other forms of privilege become increasingly called out and challenged and justly so, to indulge in fantasies about how it would be better somehow if old school racism came back and those well meaning white liberals just stopped being so needy and frustrating. The kind…

So does all this apply to Dottie Sandusky or are we just letting the defenders of serial rapists of girls and women off the hook?

I don't disagree with all of your points - obviously if you are going to express an opinion you should back it up and not back down, and providing links as opposed to just stating your opinion is certainly not as likely to engender as much pushback. Then again, I think it's sort of interesting you singled out solely…

I thought locks for a second but dismissed it because of how much they curl, thought maybe they were kinky twists they'd had in for awhile but that didn't look quite right to me either. I don't know much about hair and various styles, tend to stick to the same roster.

What is that hairstyle called? I feel somewhat ridiculous coveting a couple of middle schoolers fabulous hair but what the hell, I'll never be able to sing as good as them either.
