Please tell me that last thing is not a thing.

Trump framed that issue in largely economic terms, blaming the mood of the nation’s black community on high unemployment and low wages.

You know, we need more vague in our country, lots of great vague, we’re going to have the greatest vague and really vague the spirits of the Mexicans and the blacks. Vague even the gays. We’re going to have the best vague of any country in the country.

Much like a nightmare version of Tom Hanks in Big

You know what would cheer black people up a whole lot?

The problem is that when the police talk to African-Americans, the conversation tends to include phrases like “GET ON THE GROUND! NOW!” and “HE’S GOT A GUN!” and “IT’S GIULIANI TIME!”

She’s the greatest female athlete we've ever seen in any sport

It’s becoming increasingly more common. I’m 33 weeks along and starting to develop a complex about not having the energy to do that stuff. This kid isn’t even born yet and I’m feeling like a bad mother because I haven’t gone out to by a chalkboard and a bunch of chalk pens. I don’t actually think people in my vicinity…

is that a thing? i was briefly facebook friends with an ex of mine who did those posts with the picture of his wife’s belly/profile and an update on the baby written on a chalkboard the wife was holding. i just thought he was weird (which is true); i had no idea that it’s a popular thing to do.

i get it. i think there’s a lot of pressure with social media to do so much public stuff re: pregnancy these days.

I love her take on this.

Yea and how you’re forced to have the same convo again and again. “Are you excited” “Omg so excited! Chubby cheeks and little shoes! I love them already!” and God forbid you say “not yet, I’m actually terrified and don’t feel any emotional connection yet”. It’s not so much being pregnant in public as being forced to…

CONFESSION: I am 20 weeks pregnant and still haven’t told my grandmother (whom I love dearly) or the majority of my closest friends (who do not live in my city). I am truly, genuinely excited about this baby, but something about calling people up to say that I’m pregnant just feels weird to me.

I don’t think she is criticizing pregnant women in the public, I think she is criticizing how other people are with pregnant women. They always want to touch your belly, ask about when it is due, names, gender, blah blah blah.

Oh yea! Well I’m going to give birth on a mountain surrounded by only female eagles and then raise that child in secret until it’s 18 so no one can accuse me of “performing motherhood”. That is how I will out-feminist Adichie!

Hell yeah. Covert child. #goals

That doesn't mean you shouldn't have the conversation, though. Plenty of conversations with your kids will end that way. You should still do it.

Most of all, I never ever want to discuss their personally grooming habits or to even know about them, ‘cause that’s a Mom Job.

I don’t know that proposed gun control measures (a longer waiting period, more stringent background checks, closing the gun show and private sale loopholes, a mandatory safety course, and a national registry) really would have changed this situation. If we’re to say that she shouldn’t have had access to a gun because…
