Hooked up with a guy in college I was infatuated with but he only hooked up with me to see if he could hit it. (He could not.) In the next weeks I began sending envelopes with no return address to his campus mailbox (this was in the 1990s so mail was still a thing) containing random items like shredded lettuce, small…

Who’s Cher? Never heard of her.
They expand in many ways, one of which is via prison, particularly when people are sentenced for federal crimes and go to out-of-state prisons.
While standing on your head
Are you white? Have you ever lived in a predominantly brown neighborhood? I am a POC, I grew up in a mostly black and Hispanic neighborhood, I’ve covered predominantly POC neighborhoods as a crime reporter, and I have lived in more than one gentrified white neighborhood, including where I currently live. I’m sorry to…
I live in an affluent, predominantly white neighborhood, and whenever the “youths” come around making noise and generally acting a fool, as groups of children are wont to do, these white people stay with their cell phones out ready to call the cops. Granted, they are up to no good, like climbing on top of the…

No doubt. Don’t get it twisted — I am not down with respectability politics, not at all. I guess my point is that when we do function in ways that differ from the dominant culture, we pay an extra price. When a Kappa brother throws up his hand sign, he’s a gang member. When black kids are playing music and having a…
I don’t think that people are driven to protest in the streets because Gawker stoked their anger. That reaction is a response to people’s daily experiences and outrage based on years of overpolicing in brown communities. Again, police brutality is a serious problem in general but unless you understand what daily life…
That’s a good site, thanks for sharing. I’ve followed them on Facebook. However, I think you have be willing to admit that it’s both a police issue and a racial issue and that those are so often intertwined. Upon clicking through most of the deaths from this month, the white people seem to mostly armed or in some sort…
I think that niggas is tired of grabbin’ shit out the stores and next time it’s a riot there’s gonna be, like, uh, bloodshed for real. I don’t think America know that. I think American think we was just playing and it’s gonna be some more playing but it ain’t gonna be no playing. It’s gonna be murder, you know what…
Seriously. They just don’t like anything about us. Sometimes I feel like white people don’t understand that people of other cultures are more energetic, more boisterous, more animated, etc., than them. I’m generalizing obviously, but I encounter the same thing at work and throughout life. Whenever I get really…
Really dislike her music but I can’t help but absolutely adore her.
Well, there is no point arguing with you, he obviously has legions of fans, many of whom are serious music fans. What you state as objective fact is actually not. If his music is not your cup of tea and you don’t care for his antics or image, so be it. I personally think the way his inner thoughts, public persona, and…
Also, I love your Everything I Am invocation. It’s truly touching!
Really though, he was about that before they got together, so...he’s always been obsessed with being famous and recognized and, indeed, it has been a thread through all of his music since 2004.
His wife makes him a joke? It literally does not compute. If there is logic there, I do not follow it. Sorry.
What exactly does this illustrate? Serious question.
