Silly me. My husband and I (both hunting and gun-possessing citizens whose weapons were all legally purchased and are securely stored) just watched this and agreed with the vast majority Obama talked about. And I was remarking how I thought Obama did a really good job of reassuring people what these changes DIDN’T…

Very Presidential Donald. Classy. Can you imagine the shitstorm if Pres. Obama did this?

Whatever, I’m here for it. I appreciate Willow and Jaden and their “weirdness”. I appreciate folks in the limelight who show the multiplicity of Blackness. We will have little Black kids who see themselves as weird/different/eccentric, who don’t fit their peers idea of what it means to be Black (and yes, this even…

There are websites for black singles in part because black singles tend to have more difficulty finding partners on websites that cater to everyone. Black women particularly have a difficult time, and I can completely understand people wanting to seek out a site that’s by definition populated with people who won’t…

Haha I am a very all or nothing person when it comes to organization either everything has to be ‘THE CORRECT WAY’ or it is all shoved into random piles. That is the only way I can stop my brain from freaking the fuck out about the chaos, if it is SORT OF organized? I get so anxious that it is all wrong. BUT if it is…

Whenever I see stories of child pornography, I’m always kind of baffled at the way we treat preteen girls as victims and vow to get justice, but once the girl hits puberty/is a teenager, she’s suddenly responsible for everything that happens to her and people automatically thinks she’s lying or that her body isn’t…

They are handsome but boring on such a pervasive level that sex with either of them would be like when you swim in a really beautiful resort pool but you’re constipated or something so it’s just like eh.

I think some people reach such a level of handsomeness that they go all the way back around into undesirable.

Because as a person of color, I’m kind of sick of seeing white people everywhere and in everything. I shouldn’t have to watch movies from foreign countries, where white-washing also occurs to be fair, to see people that look like me. If someone has a name similar to mine, can they not look like me, have my skin tone?…

1-D look like they would call up and go:

The belief that “aryan” means “white people” was invented in the 19th century by a French racist, which inspired a particularly dedicated group of German racists, and is perpetuated by modern American racists and whitesplainers.

“Fat people don’t know they’re fat because the chemicals in their brain make them think they’re attractive. (Is this a peer-reviewed study, and can I see?)“ = hilarious, also. This whole piece is filled with an easy, quick wit. Is Jezebel hiring because I’d read the hell out of anything Hale writes!

Yeah- the worst pieces of shit I’ve seen about fat-shaming have always struggled with weight/attractiveness issues themselves, and they’re usually insulting someone more attractive than them (which makes them mad, because even someone “flawed” is more attractive and confident and happy than they are!).

Bernie should be our nominee. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

I dunno guys. I’m starting to feel the Bern. He is a breath of fresh air. Is it crazy to think he could really pull this thing off? (According to polling he currently has a higher chance of beating Trump than Hillary)

Where are all those people that claimed Sanders had “no support” in the black community? That notion that Sanders is destined to lose is a self fulfilling prophecy perpetuated by people who are too invested in the status quo to demand real change in government.

Put it this way. There aren’t a ton of roles in major blockbusters for Indian people, so when you get someone named “Khan Noonien Singh”, you really don’t need to cast another white actor.

It’s about as perfect a role to cast an Indian actor in a Hollywood tent-pole, and they went the other way.

As someone who has sat by and watched my son’s cousins bully him, in full view of their parents, who smiled indulgently like it was totally normal behavior, please be the adult who tells the kid and parents that this is fucked up and wrong. Bonus points if you do this while holding a glass of wine.

Yes. 100%. This is my #3 reason for being ambivalent about having children. ( #1 is vagina destruction fears, #2 is concerns about bringing children to a world that is on the brink of environmental catastrophe, and #4 is guilt about orphans.)

No, people who plan their wedding prior to being engaged might be people who live together, are in their 30s, are pragmatic and are more concerned about planning their lives (together) than their jewelry giving. Maybe.
