While I understand the doctor defaulting to the only options available to him, this story just reinforces how primitive we are as a society when it comes to holistically supporting new parents and families, particularly those who are Black. We are in the midst of a raging, highly publicized Black maternal mortality…

“Some” or also a “not insignificant amount”. 🙄

They’re just so attractive. Like almost mind-bogglingly. Like my mind is literally boggled by how hot he is and how gorgeous she is.

is water wet

Yeah, I’m looking at these excuses and issa no from me dawg. In this day and age, if you have access to the internet I just can’t excuse clear displays of egregious ignorance. She also just lacks any compassion or empathy - the woman was clearly making commentary from a place of personal experience with sexual…

That’s exactly my issue with it: just say nothing at all. Why would you consciously use your platform this way? Unless you were there, your “insider knowledge” is bull and if you were there, then wait to be called on as a witness. Otherwise stfu.

And am I the only one who’s also giving him the sideeye for accepting? Smh. JT I’m disappointed.

A mother’s job is never done. We just witnessed some much needed adult parenting.

I’m so offended by this. Dirty Dancing is one of my faves.

Also, why are these “law/rule enforcement” people always so mindlessly violent? It’s like someone comes and tells you, hey we need you to get this person off the plane because bullshit reason x and you’re just like d’oh ok and show up to start making people bleed? Do you really have no room in your job to determine if…

I’ll never forget one time in KINDERGARTEN, my BFF lost a form or permission slip we were supposed to get signed and the teacher (a very strict nun) made her dig through the TRASH that we had all just filled with remnants of a classroom birthday party. She bawled the entire time and had cheeto dust all over her hands…

Ugh, reading it over again makes me feel viciously angry. “Wait til we get home” like I’m some kind of child?

This. I’ve only ever paid for one concert in my entire life — On the Run — and I was like this girl has come to WORK. This is her 14-hour day at the desk, face time with the boss, I’m shooting for that promotion WORK. It is her career and she takes it seriously, as she should. These pop stars making all of this money…

OMG I screamed.

Omg yes. I hate how everyone has these conversations from a point of distance as though they’ve never been in a bedroom with someone doing way too much or been that someone doing way too much. No, maybe you don’t know a guy who would stalk a girl down an alleyway and then rape her at knife point, but what about your…

Seriously. The comments from the Hall of Hotep have been utterly ridiculous. At this point it’s just willful ignorance and I’m side-eyeing all of them. You can still rape people in your dashiki and cowrie shells, and just because you feel like you’re an expert on what Black liberation really is, it doesn’t mean you…

That’s actually a great idea. That would’ve allowed each girl to do a more involved modeling assignment, as well as display their diversity efforts in a more effortful way. Like look at how women with varying hair textures do their hair in under a minute.

It’s because she’s famous in a mainstream way. They’re like I know Rihanna — and yes, she’s from some kind of exotic place that brown people come from, but primarily she’s that girl who sings about her umbrella and tells us to shine bright like diamonds.

This! The insistence and the assumption. I really don’t understand how journalists working for real publications called this “tropical house” before they opened Google and tried to research different types of music from the Caribbean. Give me a damn job. I can’t even send an email until I Google shit like “define…

I love her and Judy Greer. Could someone get something going where these two are leading ladies in a well-done romantic comedy? Hollywood, do I have to tell you how to do everything?!
