You’re thinking of the wrong kind of fairies. I voted for the kind who invites you to a ball and when you wake up on what you think is the next morning, your feet ache everyone you’ve ever loved is dead.

We’re not talking Disney faeries; we’re talking fae of olde, who trick men and steal children, control the elements and shape-shift.

I think there is a word for making people do work for free...

I’m sure the OP can pay her rent and buy her groceries with knee jerk loyalty to “leaders of The Race”

Also....because White publishers cheat their freelancers it’s OK for Black publishers to do likewise?

Here’s an alternative idea - if you are a publisher and you hire freelance writers PAY THEM IN FULL

I bet Ebony…

Let’s just say that Ebony isn’t the first “woke” publication that treats its freelancers like dog shit, and it won’t be the last. A socially conscious business is still just that, a business, and therefore they aren’t exempt from shitty practices.

“First Daughter” hilarious

So I found out a few days ago that I have genital herpes and had my first painful outbreak. At first I was extremely depressed, like the world had ended, but I’m now coming to terms with it. There’s this stigma about STDs that only gross pathetic sluts who ‘deserve’ it get it. But truth is anyone can get it at any…

I have no advice to give but I wish you the best of luck and happiness and have you in my prayers

HONEY. You’ll be able to do it because your body will help and so will the doctors and nurses. Those first 3-4 months are hard for everybody, so you’re going to need a lot of extra care. Do you have good support? Does your doctor know what has happened?

It sucks to have something devastating happen that maybe people can't understand but you are def not alone. If people can feel pain they can empathize and support you. Take care of yourself and reach out if you need it <3

Yeah, and I forgot to mention that two of the roommates are in college and one is a babysitter but more “laid-back,” so she works to make enough money for rent and going out. Which is all totally fine, but its so not where I’m at right now. They’re all in a very different place than I am. I could see myself living…

My mom killed herself a few days ago, and I’m due to give birth to my first kid-and what would have been her first grandkid-a couple days from now. I had to miss the funeral and she was cremated and she didn’t leave a note. I don’t know how I’m going to get the strength to go through labor and take care of this little…

teaching is SO EMOTIONALLY/SOCIALLY EXHAUSTING. i haven’t had roommates since college, but i’m living with The Dude now and sometimes I take the looooong way home to psych myself up for interacting with my favorite person in the world, so i can imagine how difficult having roommates and teaching full time must be.…

I lean a bit introverted and I’ve found that living alone lets me fall into hermit-tude! I think it’s better for me personally to have the people around so that I don’t have to put effort into socializing when I want to. An important component of this is having a relationship with roommates where I can say “hey, hope…

When I used to be a teacher, I felt so drained most days I felt exactly like you! I lived with my sister and I would fall asleep on the couch in the middle of a sentence. So I FEEL for you, honey. Maybe you do not need to live entirely alone, but it does sound like three roommates might involve too much activity and…

Hi all, I am really needing this Saturday Night Social.

Have you tried meditating while in a yoga pose while wrapped in lights and breathing in coconut oil?

Sooooo...
