So long, IRL Helen Lovejoy

Except for the constant reruns. Michael Andrade. Darlene Vandegeesen, Ogee Noble. The poor little girl who ate paint chips. And the guy who killed his pregnant employee, put her in a drum and then moved to Boca Raton.

Fun fact: my parents’ dog hated Nancy Grace. When her show was on (or a promo for her show), this scrappy little terrier/lab mutt would bare her teeth and grow at the TV until we changed the channel.

Let’s not and say we didn’t!

As somebody who had to terminate a pregnancy along with his fiancee because the baby, who was very much wanted and loved, wouldn’t survive to term, and still grieves that loss, I’ll play along.

Not to mention, smaller market reporters make very little; often enough to qualify for WIC and programs like that. And that’s usually while paying off college loans.

The words “empowering” and “empowerment” were invented by a black woman named Barbara Solomon talking specifically about intersecting traumas and how to support abuse survivors from oppressed communities. It has completely been gentrified and whitey-white-white-ified. Honestly I don’t think she would have minded some…

“Berated” ??

You didn’t just say you had conflicting emotions. You expressed hatred for the victim of a racist tirade, and said she might’ve been talking shit about the kid. You didn’t just empathize with the mother, you cast the reporter as the villain in her own dehumanizing assault. That is deplorable. Maybe you should think…

Yeah, she counted them off like I count off the different types of shoes I own. These “friends,” if she actually has them, are accessories.

It’s funny that you think THAT’S the reason people are calling out your racism

It would certainly be convenient for you to stop defending yourself seeing as all of your ‘arguments’ have fallen flat. Ridiculous. Just swallow your pride and come to terms with your casual support of racism. I doubt you’re even fooling yourself at this point.

No. People are calling you racist because you are saying dumb shit, like ‘I have _____ friends’ and ‘people grieve in their own way’.

When you find yourself explaining that something you said or did can’t possibly be racist because you have friends who aren’t white, it’s generally a good time to stop digging.

You didn’t just say you had conflicting feelings. You said you understand why the white woman acted the way she did. You empathized with a racist. You chose the side of a woman who attacked another for being Black. (and, yes, when you call us nigger you are attacking us for being Black. I don’t give a fuck what else…

Saying that a woman can’t find empowerment in nudity? Just because it’s not for you doesn’t mean she didn’t feel powerful in that moment. One of the most empowering experiences of my life was performing in an event called Naked Girls Reading. It’s a pretty cool thing with chapters all over the country. Check it out!

Every week I recognize fewer and fewer names.

I don’t know enough about Yolanda Foster to know what her situation is regarding her Lyme disease. But I have chronic pain issues and I and I still carry on with my life because I have to. So for her ex-stepdaughters to say that because she’s still able to do her reality show means that she’s fine makes no sense and…

I’ve never understood why he’s so beloved and that’s only taking his work into account.

I’m sure it did feel empowering with her to be working with Woody Allen. I’m sure it felt empowering to her when she couldn’t act but wascast as the lead in Gossip Girl anyway. Just like it felt empowering when she had no idea how to run a website but got investors and coverage in Vogue and when her website went belly…
