Well, children of the orange, anyway.

Just want to send some love to all the people who never had a mother figure, are missing someone, who’s mothers aren’t good to them or make the mother-child relationship difficult. In some ways I’m close to mine, and in others I continue to be hurt by her. Mother’s Day is a really shitty holiday for a lot of people,…

I once read someone say (I forget where) that when you weed books you haven’t read but always planned to read, you’re not just letting go of a book, you’re letting go of the person you’d imagined you’d be who would read that book. In her opinion, that was why it’s often so difficult to get rid of books, because it’s…

I live in DC, and I can’t believe there are people in this town who would care about politics so much while not understanding that being a public servant is different from a political appointment. I’m personally calling BS on the idea that someone has to cancel dates because they work as a fed at HHS. For the most…

My 7 year old niece has devised a chart where she puts stickers on squares that are numbered. The numbers correspond to a list of misogynistic hot phrases she hears at school, on TV, from my mother, etc. When her chart is full she hands it to the closest adult and demands $20 for Space Camp.

All night:

White women the same as white men. No matter how low they go, long as they’re above people of color, they’re happy. What makes them more dangerous is how they can pretend not to be part of that system on account of they’re women. Like Dave Chappelle said: “Come on, white woman, you know what it is. You was in on the…

This reply to Roy Moore, tonight, was savage...

What are people like Glennon Doyle actually doing to thank Black women? And what are they doing to confront the obvious cultural rot in their own community that would lead them to do things like vote for a pedophile? Not rhetorical questions, I’m just sick of Black voters being expected to save White people from their…

I need white liberals to stop trying to “fix” everyone else’s communities once and for all and go work on their own, because clearly the call is coming from inside the house.

Honestly, if this country is going to be saved from itself, it is going to be largely due to people of color.

It’s not just America that thinks Alabama is a third world state...the international community does too. And it’s not so much that they ‘think’ that, it’s that they saw that when they visited:

*White Alabama did not even almost do the right thing!

I look forward to all the thinkpieces tomorrow about how the GOP needs to understand the concerns and needs of black women if it expects to win any more elections.

I’d first like to say that I am against bullying. But folks donated $60k for this boy getting bullied, but get mad when folks talk about reparations for slavery. What was that money even supposed to do? It wasn’t going to an anti-bullying campaign or organization, just straight to someone’s pockets.

That’s all very wise, but yes, she does need her ass handed to her over this. That she’s locked into a dysfunctional behaviour does not mean the rest of society needs to accommodate it; quite the opposite.

I absolutely see the logic in your reasoning and think you’re spot on about what’s going on in her head. But shit, when do we start demanding that people who lack imagination live outside of their own experiences? You’ve done about a thousand times more mental work than Pam has just in this comment, but she’s given a…
