Well, here’s how these conversations feel as a person of color. A white person reaches out to you sometimes - as the only POC that they know. “Hey, can you explain this one thing to me?” Like, I’m Mexican-American, so they might say, for example, “Hey, can you tell me why people think Speedy Gonzales was a negative…

Maybe her response is banal, but the challenges she faced to get to the point of dressing her kids up like pumpkins certainly can’t be compared to Blake Lively et al.

It could have been, but it wasn’t. My feeling is that even rote, cutesy questions about motherhood take on a fresher, more revealing meaning for lesbian couples, who’ve been (and still are, in so many places) legally and socially excluded from co-parenting for so long.

Having experienced infertility and miscarriage I actually had to stop watching the documentary Tig at a certain point because I got so upset for her. I was ridiculously happy when I heard that her and her partner succeeded in having children.

Tig Notaro is a goddamned national treasure.

i bought the game and a console but i can’t play bc i can’t find a man to figure out the wires for me so i can play it

Wait. Wait. Wait. Can you explain it again? Slower? With pictures? I am really glad you’re here.

why not

I was talking to a student about games and another studentsaid to me, “you play man games, miss?”

That’s not true. I play video games topless whenever I want the attention from all those sexy gamer boys. I just love it when a 12 year old private messages me “nice tits” or “want sexxx u slut”

The only thing better than this article are the mansplainy comments. #blessyourheart

I have no problem with people—white or otherwise—doing work like this. What I do hate (and something I saw a lot when I lived in Cape Town for 5 months) is when people take pictures with children and then post them on the internet. I only shared images of kids whose names I knew and who I actually developed…
