I was just telling my friend yesterday that self-isolating has made me so thankful that I left my ex-husband 5 years ago. Life with my boyfriend is not all sunshine and rainbows and too much bickering last week, but it wasn’t being trapped in a house with an emotionally abusive pothead. I checked the ex’s facebook…

I have already felt dread concern over what will happen if Quarantine is lifted on a Monday and I have to return to my office without getting my locs retwisted and lined-up. I cannot imagine how it is for essential-workers, especially those who have job mandates around standards of “neatness” that are hard to meet if…

You could have just stayed off this article and obsessively refreshed whatever news website you use, instead of deciding to be such a pathetic scold about an interesting and informative article. Go work on your sourdough starter and yell at your family. 

Please accept this as a token of my appreciation:

Ha ha ha! I saw this one polo-shirt-wearing snap-back-hat jerk stretching out with his WTF-iron and I said to myself, “Self, what would a busy-body white lady do in this instance?” and I pulled out the old cell phone and called the po po

I did a reverse Becky/Karen today! O yes I did!

And what I said negates that...how?

There are also Asian people who are essential workers who are ALSO getting racist shit yelled at them while they try to help people. 

You do realize there are black women out there who are essential workers and are putting themselves at risk every single day as this pandemic carries on who still think about their hair, right?

I was at an NYE party in a brand new open concept house. All the couches were pushed against the wall and there was this awkward space where no one could really look at each other. The coffee table was in front of one couch, but this other couch was all lonely in the corner with nothing next to it.

This black woman is just letting her hair do her thing. Thankfully I have been wearing wigs to work and letting my natural hair rest and this lockdown has been an opportunity to also rest my natural hair from those as well. I put on a wig to videoconference then that heifer is back on her stand. I had stocked up on…

It is infuriating that she has to beg people to believe her because she knows most people are operating from the default of disbelief on rape. The phrase “cry rape” itself comes with the picture of hysterical women built into its meaning.

Thank you! Because we’re bored, my husband and I watch Love It or List It, and I’m confident I saw three of the four seasons occur throughout the entire renovation process. It does not take an hour, like Michael Scott says.

Open concept is bullshit. Here’s why.

I have done a lot of renovation to my 1927 home over the 15yrs I’ve lived in it.

Amen! We added an addition and reconfigured our kitchen but did not remove any big walls or open up the floor plan. Our favorite room is the cozy one with the wood stove in winter.

That is my ideal stay at home scenario. We are currently living in Florida while my girlfriend finishes med school, but have a house back in Maryland that we are planning to renovate when she’s done and we move back north. I keep thinking it would have been so nice to be back there and able to work on the house…

The open floor plans look very sleek in photos, but think of the heating costs come winter!

Love the idea of following the house’s lead! Congratulations!

We just bought a house in an historic neighborhood near our daughter and SIL in a city an hour and half away from where we currently live. The house was built in 1903 (but the mechanicals, siding and windows have been updated). I love the quirky layout where you can tell rooms were added on, porches closed in, etc.…
