Oh, I'm a mother alright. I count the hours until 5pm when I can respectably pour a glass of wine or crack a Summer Shandy to get me through dinner, bath and bedtime.

Someone from work played that clip for me because of men work all day while their wives stay home (mat leave 1 year) and wah wah wah. My response "Ya, I'm going to say raising a kid is about 20x harder than my job, where I interact with (mainly) reasonable adults, am shown respect, and actually get to go home and…

Oh god, can we just not? Please? Because this only ever ends one way. The people with kids will turn into instant sanctimommies, all like "If you aren't a parent you will never understannnnddddddd!!!!!" and the people without kids will be all like "Why can't I apply for maternity leave when I get a new kitten, cats…

do you have a smart phone? if you got rid of it for a regular one, you could save 1000 a year. do you drink starbucks, or use brand name stuff can can easily be replaced with generics. If we all did an inventory of our lives, I think we could save quite a bit. With a kid, you just have to put aside luxuries. the…

This is kind of….. presumptuous. Jacked up to whose standards? Why do you presume these kids don't have black people in their lives? Furthermore, why do you think that their parents aren't fully capable of exposing them to cultural or other resources?

I love this a lot. I'm 16 and I just went natural. I love my hair a lot too!

I can't get behind navel rings at any age. I cut my hair to a chin length bob at 40 because I don't give a fuck about what other people think that my hair should look like (and the cut is RAD). Stilettos are bad for you feet, and crop tops are just plain fugly.

I've literally never eaten a Big Mac in my life, but her phrasing is BONKERS.

First, I'm offended that she doesn't find women who dress modestly inherently beautiful. Why imply that dressing modestly will make you care less about being beautiful?

You know, as a formally religious Jew living in a town full of predominantly religious Muslims, I call bullcaca. Religious women DO wear make-up. They DO style their hair- even if you can't see it under the scarf, you bet your sweet tuchus it looks rockin underneath. Muslim women in the long robes the names of which I…

(BTW, please buy my new diet book: EAT SIX ALMONDS: THE EATING SIX ALMONDS STORY: A LIFE (OF CARRYING SIX ALMONDS AROUND IN A ZIPLOC BAGGY AND BEING SUPER THIN NOW).

Less than $1000 probably means more than $500? I wish I had the problem of having more than $500 in my account :(

Nope.

Many African Americans think that if we could only make ourselves conform to White American cultural/appearance/speech norms somehow we'd get racist White folks to stop hating us.

Problem - while I can understand that wish (and I've felt it myself at times) that's not really true at all.

To the George Zimmermans of this…

I had this same exact conversation with someone at work, who said he was 'conflicted' about how he should feel about her because her demeanor seemed so 'off.'

Because she's black. Next question.

I loved seeing this the other day, but the comments were just too much.

Hey! I'm at home today with my preschooler (whom I love, but OH MY GOD, KID, GET OFF MEEEEE!). I am bored and anxious, and feeling guilty about being bored and anxious. Thanks for reminding me that a drink would help. A few more hours until it's socially acceptable to mix myself a little vodka-lemonade and turn on…
