BABY GIRAFFES HAVE THE BEST FACES OF ALL ANIMALS! THANK YOU BABY GIRAFFES!

I’m pretty sure you have to have cable. :(

It looks like they’re playing both episodes tonight starting at 9pm, and you can also watch it on the OWN app whenever.

Somewhat relevant:

I had a cat for 5 years who I loved, and who then died of cancer, which was awful. I settled into a life of being aunt to my roommates’ cats, who are all charming and lovable, and who I only rarely have to feed or clean up after.

A few months ago, an ex-roommate’s cat was foisted upon me when he moved out of the…

This is my roommate’s cat Jarvis. I don’t feed him or anything, but we’re best friends. Some cats are just nice.

@afamhistfail on Twitter used to run tours about slavery on a plantation, and has some stories to tell.

Even though my mother is not white, I look and act like a middle-class white person and am treated as a middle-class white person, so, while I am very proud of my heritage and I take it…

My mom knew that on an intellectual level, but it never really hit her personally until she saw the DNA results.

My mom, who identifies as Black and Mexican, recently got her DNA analyzed and found a surprising amount of British DNA. We know the black side of our family comes from Georgia and Louisiana (and also Nigeria and Senegal it turns out), but finding that British ancestry kind of shocked her into thinking about slavery…

I’ve been baking pies since I was about 12 (starting with the pumpkin pie recipe from the Libby’s can and the pecan pie recipe from the Karo syrup bottle), and it was only last Saturday (I’m 39 now) that I first made a really good pie crust from scratch. No shame in the frozen pie crust game.

My mom definitely had this sweater.

My poetry MFA is finally coming in handy!

Little kids who act like shits

Who had sex with more underaged girls, your husband or the prophet Mohammad?
