In roughly 2003 there was a right winger who went berzerker on Lou Dobbs about some comment someone made about something. Apologies for not remembering which comedian or pundit made it. Regardless, she was losing her shit on live TV and I happened to catch it.

Why would anyone think that about her? Yes, she’s pragmatic. However, by virtue of being a Black woman, she understands the existential threat that not voting Dem would do to Black folk.

That’s what I was thinking. She contradicted herself and didn’t make any points. Mena Suvari just went “mm.”

Count me fourth.

I’m Generation X and I was in a studio apartment that cost wayyyyy too much right before I turned 32. On my 32nd birthday I was living with my mom.

Totally agree with margaerymoth. I’ve given way too many people the benefit of the doubt and the situations have ended up shitty when it comes to gender issues.

That’s a very odd response. I don’t date anymore because all of the 39 year olds/guys my age are like children - and I already have a toddler.

The offer letter is officially public now.

She’s not a journalist. She’s an attorney.

I’m right there with you. I’ve been confused all week about why she’d be the emcee for their gala.

The first job that made me feel like an adult was the second job as a part-time waitress/host I had to have to supplement my day job in my actual career. I was so excited to be working in what I’d studied to do, but the pay was shit. Realizing that the only way I’d actually make it was to have a second job meant I was…

Does your roommates boyfriend pay rent? If not, a financial contribution could ease your stress. A lot of times when someone’s not supposed to be there, it only frustrates us more.

My favorite book ever is White Teeth by Zadie Smith. It’s so beat up from being again and again.

I didn’t hear the entire thing, but a good portion of it. He was mainly talking that much to Dems to run out the clock. He let Tom Cotton go on and on about spy novels and movies.

Luckily my office was pretty empty today because I was saying, “get it, Kamala! Go’head” repeatedly. I was snapping and jumping.

I wish this had started with the witness and family accounts instead of what the police are saying. I believe the police lie about most, if not all things. But, we’re so conditioned to take the first telling of something as truth. It would have been nice to hear the family’s version first - especially since some…

About a year and a half ago, I was driving home in the dark. My side of town is very mixed and a place the police love to patrol. I saw some Black and Latino boys (probably between 7th and 9th grade) pushing around one boy near this cemetery. I could only tell there was a scuffle because I noticed their cells glowing.…

This is so true. If you can’t start from a basic set of common facts, it’s going to be hell.

This sounds like such an amazing future you’ve got planned. Congrats. Don’t feel nervous. I’m in higher ed and people can go to school at any age. You’ll actually have more and different things to inform your learning at this age that will be welcome.

I’m guessing you’re white. I, obviously, could be wrong.
