All the ways that society tells us black women don’t matter, regardless of race or pedigree. Imagine if a young white woman physician in a trauma center in Chicago was gunned down. All the headlines would be about her as you don’t get a “worthier victim” than that. But even when it is our best and brightest, we are…

“Me and Tristan will deal with him and I”

Love you for this kindness to animals! We also found ourselves with 3 itty bitty kitties that were shivering in a tire behind my husband’s work

(Sorry, no pictures - trying to share the fuzziness is making Chrome crash.)

The parents are probably the ones who alerted the NCAA.

It’s expected even if you don’t have a job. Popping out fora pizza? Go get dressed, do your makeup, fix your hair...

When I was living in Boston, conservatives were complaining about people on food stamps shopping at farmers’ markets (even though that’s the most efficient use of food stamps there), and also complaining that they were buying chips at grocery stores. So they shouldn’t be buying fresh produce because it seems too high…

It’s just another thing men need explained to them that women already know: the cost of being a woman is WAY HIGHER than men. Men can wear the same suit and just change ties (like that anchor in Australia who did it for a year and no one ever noticed!) and that’s it. Women have to have OUTFITS, hair, makeup, nails,…

I experienced something once. But then a man told another man that he wasn’t aware of my experience, so the other man explained to me that I hadn’t actually experienced it. I can’t wait for my first real experience!

I’m just so grateful to see a Netflix movie that FINALLY reflects my own personal experience.

American women are outperforming men in college, as doctors, etc. Women are now able to have their own income, bank accounts, property, etc. and the means to leave abusive men. Men can’t handle this, and believe that disallowing women to control their own bodies will force them back into the kitchen, dependent on men.…

You’re right. We can’t go around expecting people to drop their friends when their friends are literally putting babies in cages. We can’t go around expecting people to drop their friends when they are in the highest parts of a government defining trans people out of existence. We can’t go around expecting people to…

This profile was completely irresponsible. The Nigerian masses live underfoot of these corrupt and power drunk billionaires. When these same vices were being used to fund their lifestyles they had no qualms. It was offensive to use Africa’s problems to help these ladies plug their brand. It is up to Interpol to…

So those Nigerian princes I’ve been giving my money to has been spending on these nobodies?  Well...that’s the last time I help them facilitate a bank transfer or inheritance...

“Can you imagine 25 years of marriage, to one person, even Barack Obama? Or 25 years of anything?”

Oh, children. You don’t imagine the time. You imagine the things you’d like to do with your time. And then you try to do them.
(Just celebrated 26 years of marriage with Mr. UrbanAchiever and no, we didn’t imagine it. We…

“‘Well, he’s got a good heart he’ll be fine. Just talk to him.’”

He can sense your stress, and it contributes to his behavior. (I’ve been guilty of this too!) Neutering will likely not help with this particular behavior, though it needs to be done regardless.

My friend sent me this New Yorker cartoon, I am not sure how old it is but it made us laugh

My brand new baby, Clementine.
