Chris Rock’s documentation of his being stopped by the police for driving while black seems like a pretty strong argument against some part of the “New Black” idea.

When I was 17 I had plenty of parental supervision, worked and went to school, got accepted (and graduated) from one of the best universities in the country and sometimes I got high as fuck. BECAUSE I WAS 17!

can you blame her???

Damn straight. And I would totally have gotten lip injections out the waz too. My nickname was ‘thin lips’ in high school (weirdly specific yet not creative) and if I had access to it/saw my sisters do it, I’d be all over that shit at 16.

Kylie Jenner is a teenager, with little to no parental supervision who doesn’t work or go to school and is dating a 25 year old rapper who has a song out called “Bitches and Marijuana”. I imagine she is high all the time.

I actually danced from a very young age, and we got our hair/makeup done and I LOVED it. Not in a “I must wear makeup or people will judge me!” sort of way, but in a “I LOOK LIKE A PRINCESS I AM SO FANCY” sort of way. I never went to school with it on because recitals were on weekends and/or in the evenings, but I…

I’d imagine a good parent would tell them something like “I know you don’t want to do this anymore, but a contract is like a promise. They would be disappointed if you didn’t keep your promise, and it would hurt their feelings. After this though, you can certainly choose not to do anymore” or whatever age appropriate…

I used to volunteer at an animal shelter where we had lots of community service people. They always got to clean the sick kitten poo cat litter trays. She should be happy about the tutoring.

GURL WHY

Get it together, Linds

At first glance I thought that was a waterfall of delicious liquid cheese and now nothing is ok anymore.

The last one reminds me of a problem I often encounter. I know how to deal with stupid. I know how to deal with mean. I have no idea what the hell to do with stupid AND mean... There is just no fix for that.

One of my favorite Mall Makeover write-ups so far! I think you look beautiful both before and after, but I definitely miss the freckles in the after!

“She was going to be killed by this guy some day, somehow. She didn’t have to die that night.”

I like chickens...and glitter...and flowers

I’m having an Alice in Wonderland wedding and I’m getting one of those crazy topsy turvy cakes and there are going to be flamingos around the whole ceremony. This is the cake topper we got. =D

Etsy had a ton of adorable cake toppers like these but they were way over budget, so I bought the blank people from a craft store and painted them myself. I already had most of the paint so I think they cost about $10? I secretly hope if we ever have/adopt kids they’ll enjoy playing with these someday.

Ours was a unicorn wearing a veil and a t-rex wearing a top hat. The t-rex was then stomping on a tradition plastic little bride and groom thing from the dollar store. I made the whole thing myself. I think I paid maybe, tops, $25 for all the bits and pieces to put it together?

So she quit waitressing because of constant sexual harassment? I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the problem there wasn’t her.

Ever noticed white, rich, and often female humblebraggers who use the word “blessed” in their social media posts? That’s right; you’re just blessed, sweetie, not a %#&ing show-off. Bless your heart.

Social media humblebragging is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t care if you want to brag a little but constant humblebrags about how amazing you are for running a bunch of errands/ cooking a gourmet dinner/ getting in ten workouts, etc. drives me up the wall. You’re amazing WE GET IT.
