Any little step counts and frankly there’s nothing wrong with making people feel welcome. Men in the United States are generally not expected to take much interest in raising their children beyond providing for the family and being the “fun” parent. 

Two things I’ll add for thrifting: I buy wooden frames for my artwork. I’ll sand and repaint them to work them into the design of the art it’s framing so it becomes part of the piece. About the rabbit fur and other fur coats (I hate the fur industry too) that can redeem them somewhat (no one at thrift stores are…

I believe that Mariah Smith’s writing used to be published on Jezebel too, which feels like a strange thing not to mention (unless it’s a different Mariah Smith?):

This whole thing is wild, but as a former, but still enthusiastic equestrian, I find the idea that it was Priyanka's job to teach a fully grown man how to ride a horse incredible. He's an adult man. He has millions of dollars. If he was uncomfortable with the idea of riding a horse for 5 minutes, that's his job to…

Kanye knows there’s an upside to black-bashing. Much like Tomi Lahren, Ann Coulter, Candace Owens, Laura Ingraham, Tucker Carlson, Michelle Malkin etc., they know they will suffer some blowback but not enough to cripple their careers. The shameful thing about Kanye’s abuse of the black community is how it exposes our…

Neighborhood watch. 

It couldn’t be more obvious if dude signed the threatening dm “Chad.”

Not only that, but that white dude has watched a lot of pornography. Like, an unhealthy amount.

Obviously a white guy wrote that message. Sheesh. As if we would ever say “nigger cock” to another black person.

I am not clicking that video.

Weren’t we done with The Fat Jew? I thought he lost a book deal for stealing other people’s jokes and passing them off as his own or something? Anyway, wine. Yes.

Can’t tell you how much I hate the wink-wink “mom’s juice” promotion of wine drinking! I know too many women (“moms” and non-moms) who have developed alcohol problems in middle age. I don’t care how successful you are or if you have kids, if you are daytime drinking in your living room or drinking daily at night to…

I donate money to non-missionary groups who help poor in Africa and Asia. There are plenty of such groups and Nicki is smart enough to look them up too instead of following her pastor.

I work in development, and the “places to worship” bit got a raised eyebrow. In my experience, people living in abject poverty don’t ask for churches, or temples, or mosques. They ask for schools, clinics, wells, training programs, cash, etc. Anyone that tells you the people requested a church usually wanted to build…

I’m sure Nicki Minaj means well, but such casual philanthropy especially mixed with evangelism does way more harm than good in India, especially in an under-developed region.

I love Nicki. A lot. But let’s not get carried away here. The “charity” is missionary. It is not altruism. The poor are manipulated that they are “saved” by Jesus Christ.

...and faces zero consequences. “Rule of Law” ya say?

Ok so Adele has been lovely about this whole ordeal, but can I just say I am tired of the hand wringing over Beyonce?
