Uhhhhhhhh, I’m getting PTSD just thinking about it. My worst times were in the shower.... and then came Mastitis. Yep, I’ll never forget you.

Totally would...I would dare him to not make on single facial expression.

Thanks for sharing your story Sarah. So much of this rang true for me as well. It’s astonishing how often smart minority kids are accussed of plagarism. When it happened to me in high school, I was so confused and scared that I didn’t even know how to respond. I was so proud of my work, a critique of George Orwell’s…

Thanks, just place my order for this book.

If you replace “Liars” with “Black” the rant makes more sense. Not exactly subtle, however, paranoid racists aren’t usually adept at nuance.

I have been searching unsuccessfully for years for fully lined slacks. I used to get great quality slacks and shirts from Casual Corner before they tanked. However, all of the slacks are now very low quality and the material feels very thin. Not to mention the new “sweaters” for sale by most retailers. I remember when…

Cleary, you should be writing for CNN. They could use the help. Thanks for providing relevant details about Freddie Gray’s life.

What a smart idea!

LOL, exactly this.

I’ve been a fan of Nancy’s for over 20 years so I am rooting for her. I hope she can truly learn and move on from this. I was really stunned and hurt by her response to Viola’s win.

Thanks, I was just thinking that I would never apply or work somewhere where I was made to feel unwelcome. I have great instincts about these sort of places and I usually avoid them completely. Especially now, at this stage in my tech career where I have options and experience. I’d just prefer a comfortable and…

I didn’t realize that Nick Jonas was so short. His abs look really tall in his video.

I always had this feeling that this is why the dislike of Colin suddenly intensified. It’s like second-hand racism. I keep hearing about how disgusting and unworthy he is now and it all seems a bit too critical.

She is beautiful and her voice gives me the chills. It’s amazing what a real diva can do with a marginal song.

This is so interesting. Especially the degree to which your positive treatment increased as you got thinner. I’m Black and have a diverse group of friends. I am also tall and thin. However, I receive an inordinate amount of attention from my white friends about my body. Especially after I had kids and lost more than…

I always get chills when I hear Reba sing Fancy.

Well Damn Maryann! *Drops mic*

Wow, I have been through this. My high school choir used to win awards singing negro spirituals. I always felt really odd about this as there were only 3 Black people, including me, out of about 60 students in our choir. We were singing songs about running away to freedom. The songs were deeply moving but I felt odd…

Thanks for posting this link. This is why Jezebel is important. Sometimes I feel like I can’t take anymore bad news but reading about this guy keeps things in perspective. This tragedy is so real for the people affected. There are so many people who have been murdered without the benefit of having it captured on…

I strongly support this: "I caution all new moms to wait until they are sane again". At the time I had been growing my natural hair out for 2 years and slowly cutting off the permanently relaxed (also terribly damaged & thinning) hair every 2 months. After I gave birth, I had a few bad sweaty nights and went to the…
