Where I live, everyone holds their babysitters/nannies information so closely. It’s impossible to get someone to give you a recommendation because they want the sitter available for themselves. I’m fortunate enough that my mom is willing to drive the hour to watch my son for a night out, but to just go to a movie or…

Very true where I am as well (upper middle class, white-flight exurb). You might as well be asking someone what work they had done, trying to get them to recommend their babysitter.

As a resident of a Richmond, VA exurb - they use “Richmond” as code here too. It’s “downtown” when they’re talking about the breweries, tech centers, etc. It’s “Richmond” when they’re talking about crime and black people. 

I was coming here to add “dark.” Sitting at Nats Stadium in DC listening to the dude-bros behind me talking about how they don’t venture too far from the stadium because “it gets a little dark, ifyouknowwhatImean...” 

Yessss. We get a lot of “suspicious” drivers around our neighborhood as well. I’m honestly afraid Prime Now is going to get someone shot here. 

Are they the Brad Meltzer hero books? I’ve been eyeing them for a couple of years. How old was your daughter when you started reading them? My son is 4 and a half, and I’m hoping he’d at least find them interesting now to start. 

I am surrounded by people that range from apathetic to outright gleeful. I honestly turn to the internet to remind myself that most (? I hope) people aren’t like that.

Think AIM song quote away messages for 2018.

That’s fucking terrifying. I’m glad everyone ended up okay.

Thank you. None of this is new. They all knew who they were working with. I’m honestly surprised this is what cancelled the show. It’s not like this is the first time she’s said some ignorant shit.

Literally while checking to see if my water had broken, the triage nurse asked me if I knew “who the baby daddy was.” The white man holding my hand wasn’t my cab driver. Three months later, a daycare employee handed my husband the wrong baby when he went to pick up our son. He stood there holding the baby because he…

Rosanne has been spewing ignorant, bigoted, conspiracy-laden nonsense for the better part of a decade. She’s a Birther, a PizzaGate believer, a Sandy Hook Truther. All of that was exposed well before they signed a single contract, let alone filmed anything. They knew who they were working with. They looked the other…

The biggest difference between the two: The Wickstead wasn’t chosen by the Duchess of Sussex.

Oh yeah. Gabrielle Union was on Larry Wilmore’s podcast and they had a great conversation where she had to correct him on his comment that #TimesUp is encompassing things that are rape to things that “aren’t that bad.” It was an obvious poor choice of words, and he got why he was wrong as soon as she called him on it,…

“I clearly can’t speak to how that made Jessica feel”

The Venn diagram of people who are pissed about kneeling and the people who want to save the Confederate Flag is almost a single circle. The dissonance amazes me.

I will never forget the day I had to explain to my coworkers (one of whom is actually named Karen) that the “Chocolate City Tour” was not a Willy Wonka-esque dessert adventure.

They can have my click when Brian walks back his faith in and admiration of the current administration. Until then, I’ll just take your word for it.

Happy to help. I remember it clearly because I was sitting next to my white husband dying about the power I wield.

In Baby Cobra she joke about making a white guy go down on her; not her husband though. She also spends a lot of time talking about him too.
