Like the average person doesn’t consciously choose who she or he decides to marry. People also often settle and do so without thinking about it. So, no one should be surprised that President Obama made the “right” decisions at the right time.

Thank you for reminding me of Live Through This.

Before being a single mom, I dated a couple of guys with kids and never met them. I was TOTALLY cool with that. I can compartmentalize dating from nearly-a-family shit.

I wasn’t saying lack of emotional support is abuse. I was saying if you’re not getting that basic, fundamental need filled in a relationship, there’s no point to that. So, I meant if you add disrespect to that (I think disrespect is emotional abuse) what’s the point?

If you think you’re being disrespected, that is emotional abuse. As a Jezzie said on here last summer, the entire point of relationships in this modern society is emotional support. Disrespect isn’t emotional support.

My two cents: you’re not dating. You’re spending a lot of times in the house late at night and on weekends and when you’re out, you’re meeting up with friends. At night do you ever go out just the two of you? This is going to sound super old-fashioned, but dating to many people means out somewhere on our own.

Well, I’m a single mom who frequently says I know a lot of single moms who actually think they’re married. So, there is something to that.

I’m soooo obsessed with it. I had some misgivings about it when I heard there would be WOC handmaids and wives because that wasn’t in the book. I thought the producers were adding diversity because of #OscarsSoWhite and missing the point. I figured let’s be honest and let it be known that POC would be exterminated and…

I snort-laughed at “I’M SORRY OK DAMN.”

Exactly. There’s recourse for people who are victims of local crimes and anything that gets to the federal level will involve this old timey group called the F.B.I.

So proud of him for putting some daylight on this. Sexual assault and domestic violence are swept under the rug when women are the survivors. It’s even more so the case in the LGBT community or when it happens to men so victim-blaming is common.

Right after college a guy at a party brought his graduation gift: a bulky, expensive camera with a tiny (like 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch) digital screen that showed pictures you just took. I was trippin because I could instantly see how I looked. When he said you can take lots of pictures, email them or put them on a…

That they do this and catch the vapors when Malia and Sasha aren’t in burkas or when they rehash Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky is so telling.

Hahaha. This is amazing.

I think you need to look up the definition of similar. One day... to some people... you won’t look like a teen.

This is so perfect and the only the that holds up from the Cosby show all these years later.

You could’ve left it as you can’t imagine that daily.

I want to say it’s clear you’re not Black. Your experience of not seeing an employee is not the same as the culture of retail making it a priority to follow me. I’ve also worked in retail and know that loss prevention monitors the closed circuit cameras and if no employee is out following someone, they’ll walk out…

I hate going into stores. I’m a Black woman who’s known all of her life that retailers are going to follow me from the moment I walk through the doors. I also have a curvy shape that blossomed at 15 and the 90s weren’t great for people who looked like me. Trying on clothes sucked back in the day. It was always a huge…

There was news last summer that her husband reads to him every night before he goes to bed. So, I guess we’re both right.
