i can see! i love all the "how are you sis!?!?" and "hi boo!!" comments

nicest troll ever

i didn't have any of the dolls but i was obsessed with the magazine so i read all the books from the library. i don't think you had to be rich.

the first and most vivid description i have of slavery came from addy's books. i still remember reading about the overseer making her eat the bugs she missed (her job was to remove parasites from the crops). i'm talking literally shoving them down her throat. and then how she and her mom ran away using clothes their…

there are flats i hate that have no support at all and they pain my entire foot and shin, and then there are heels - well, chunky wedges - i have that are way more comfortable due to padding at the toes and heel. also, as people have pointed out, i'm thin. but i'd wear those wedges over those flats any day when i want…

they are only matched up for that week, which was some kind of spirit week that had some intramural games and probably some parties. other than that you can associate with any frat or non-frat guy you want. sometimes there will be socials/mixers, which are parties that are with one specific frat and usually have some…

I wonder if Jezebel will ever tire of making Florida a punchline. The entire point of this article was basically "haha but yeah, FLORIDA, amirite?!" Ugh. This joke is so dead now.

an object is an object, whether it is to have sex with or to critique.

Ugh. This song is awful. Although if I may, I would like to say something about Confederate soldiers. There were a lot of Southern men who found themselves fighting this war without a good idea of what exactly was happening - no one except very rich people, who were definitely not the ones fighting, had much in the…

how this is not already illegal is just... wow.

seriously!

yeah, that is one of the most saddening and troubling things about jezebel. there are big strides that need to be made in the way the site discusses race, but a lot of the times when a commenter tries to address it in a comment the thread gets shut down and derailed. lindy's article was really written from an…

heehee :)

i think it's easy to understand. you see things through your white/new american/women's studies major/and all the other things that you are lens, which is great and worthwhile. so does lindy. but tyler perry is not just american but also black american culture. viewing this movie with a white lens is interesting from…

i agree with you, as i was reading this article i was thinking the same thing. tyler perry has his own audience that he pretty much writes to exclusively. it is so separate from the general audience that it actually struck me as kind of strange that someone from jezebel saw the movie and wrote about it. obviously here…

hear hear!

sure, i also make about $15/hour with my master's degree, but there are some things to take into consideration. first, i have full benefits which really adds thousands a year when you add it up. second, i don't live in NYC. in new york my salary would probably rise to match the living costs. and lastly - i am so, so…

preach.

this is not a zero sum game. just because mcdonald's employees will be making a living wage doesn't mean gas stations attendants etc won't. it will probably help lift all professions up to make a higher wage. i don't know why you're concerned about them "jumping" over these professions. we're not all lined up in a row…

if people are paid a living wage they can afford a meal that costs more than $2. if people are allowed to use WIC and EBT programs they can afford to eat good food at grocery stores. there are dozens of ways to fix this "problem" you pointed out because you think it helps prove your point.
