Everyone who declined to dress Gavankar is hopefully kicking themselves today. When I saw her coming up the cobblestone walk, cape fluttering, I thought it was actual witchcraft.

So I’m at the US Open many years back when a rainout brought play to an end for the day. I had a torn hamstring at the time and some very nice security gave me a golf cart ride to the exit which happened to be by the player’s locker room. As I’m limping along Serena comes out and took the time to ask if I was ok. And…

And even if it’s not legal, mind your own business unless it’s an actual emergency.

I will say, though, it’s been really nice that some of the older white people who have lived in the neighborhood for decades have stood up and said “These people were here before you and if you don’t like it you can move back to the suburbs.”

OMG

How hard is it for white people to mind their own business?

rent a house for $9,000 a month

Fuck ‘em! You just BOUGHT A HOUSE! Congratulations!!!!!

ha it’s possible you literally dated the same guy same time as me for the record. LOL so possibly! we did live the same life ;)

I once bought because all expenses included, I was paying 30% less to own than to rent. In the same building!! Costs to own were about $800 monthly including utilities, cost to rent was $1100+utilities.

A year after the market crash, I came into some money, and I wanted to invest it rather than pissing it away on an overpriced rental. I was fully prepared to buy a house with my boyfriend at the time, but when it came down to it, when I found a place I actually wanted to put in an offer on, he panicked and said he…

NINE THOUSAND dollars a MONTH? I think I just had a stroke when you said that. I mean, real estate prices are crazy in some places, but DAMN.

It’s also in the high 700s. My issue is A LOT of student loan debt. I make just over six figures, but I pay a mortgage in student loan payments each month, so it really minimizes the amount I can afford in a mortgage (and rent). With the prices around here I’d have to find something for under $300k and that’s pretty…

After going through a harrowing breakup in my mid-2os (thought my college sweetheart was the one, he thought differently, all’s well that ends well because I found someone better), I thought for a short while about how difficult it would be not to have a man around to “rely” on financially. Then I realized I was a…

The only single men I know who have bought their own home before 35 are men who a) make a shitload of money, like just an absolute shitload, in traditionally male dominated fields in low cost of living areas. Where like basically they just had enough money without even trying or b) men who had family or trust fund or…

Goddamnit, I can’t even get enough money to rent a hole in the wall! Where y’all getting all this cash?!

It probably should be, and yes.

To me, the fact that his wife is white isn’t inherently suspect, but I read his book, and his chapter on his dating history kind of confirms he has basically never dated a Black woman except for one time in high school. It was short-lived and years later she revealed she thought he was mean, which he defends by saying…

I miss him.
