Is anything EASIER for us because we’re black? Besides getting arrested?

It was back in college while speaking to the type of guy I’ve distanced myself from ever since, that I first came to understand that what a “chick flick” really was to the kind of people who use the phrase in earnest is just a regular movie was a female protagonist, that’s it.

Lena Dunham is the first person I think of when I think about women who hate other women. Her loud and proud paternalistic anti-sex work stance (all sex work is bad; trafficking and sex work are the same, etc.) , her all white vision of New York and that mega racist/nationalist article about Japan are not feminist.…

Oh, Cardi, I love you, but a lot of women under the age of 26 think they are “naturally skinny,” and they are not. I thought that once too. I thought that once too.

She’s probably going to get a lot of flack for this, but I don’t hate it. It’s all in the word ‘brand’.

This is not good news. I’m a Californian born and bred. We have drought in our bones. Seriously. In our bones.

That moment in Ant Man when my crush on him in Clueless came back and just decided I’ve been crushing on him for years.

It’s ALWAYS the overweight, unattractive men going on and on about what level of attractiveness is appropriate for women.

that’s some good advice from Andrew WK, btw.

Chanel isn’t sweat shops, it’s made by like middle classish people in Italy. Probably gives them arthritis, but they’re probably ok.

it’s because the dude doesn’t save her - her sister’s love saves her. most other disney movies, the “princess” is saved with a kiss from the “prince”.

Ioffe quoting Trump exactly is apparently considered “provoking.” What is this woman going to do if she is First Lady and she gets any sort of criticism? She will have a public meltdown.

She’s a full scholarship student from Kentucky, and a black woman at the School of Engineering, a place where there are not a ton of people who are a) black or b) black women. At 19, I’m assuming she’s also a freshman. SEAS is pretty cut-throat and Columbia undergrad is also not exactly known for their advising…

By no means comprehensive lists, but here’s a couple starting points

He had moldering copies of Hustler coming out of his mattress, moldering copies of Hustler coming out of his....whatever.

I hate to be pedantic (jk I love being pedantic) but “bosom” refers to a woman’s chest. It is generally used in the singular, unless you are talking about Donald Trump reviewing the contestants’ bosoms.

I’d really appreciate it if you guys donated to my kickstarter because I have my own theories about who was behind 9/11.

Ladies, if you haven’t heard, I got a job this week. Let the dancing commence!

Had a maaaajor fight with my husband this week. This happens every once in a while, I think because we aren’t around each other all the time. Stuff builds up. During the course of the argument it suddenly dawned on me that he’s depressed and I was too wrapped up in my own garbage to notice. Then I felt like shitty…

Congrats to all faculty and students who are finishing their semesters right about now. I should be done with grading tomorrow. (Happy dance)
