this is an old photo though, like at least a year-ish. I’m not sure her and Patrick are still together. Idky I know this let me have this one

Oh, Aubrey, you eternal goober.

Normally I don’t really get pulled into the whole celeb coupling thing. For reasons yet unbeknownst to me I really want this to happen. Seriously I’m responding on an intuitive level and I have no conceptual justification for my backing of the potential love between Drake and Serena. It just feels right.

I was just writing email copy to go out congratulating all the local bigwigs for making list of top wealthiest in our area, and by the end I was struck with the sensation of, “I can actually feel my nose against their sphincters.” Which was the exact moment where I went, “Okay, you’ve gone far enough.”

Oh, it’s <i>exhausting</i>. It’s exhausting. Do you know what’s really exhausting? Being the target of racism and fetishization. Trying to fit into a system that hates you. That’s what’s exhausting. Not being told that your surgery filled lips, your fake “disses and dats,” and your booty tooch poses - when we all have…

You are derailing now. But you know this. Which is why you are doing it.

Just a heads up: It’s rarely the intentions of the offender to offend when the issue is cultural appropriation. Iggy Azalea isn’t trying to offend black people by acting black and putting on an ATL accent in her raps, even though she’s a white girl from Australia. The same can be said about Miley Cyrus and Rachel…

Like I said you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about and since you also don’t seem to do the reading thing very well you can just wallow in your ignorance and pretend that white supremacy and its beauty standards has not a thing to do with how afro-textured hair is seen in this country and pretend it’s the…

A lot of women don’t even know how to take care of their natural hair because they spent so many years using chemicals to straighten their hair. Additionally, many never learn to take care of their natural hair because their mothers didn’t really know how to take care of natural hair. That is not the sign of straight…

Amandla’s concern is less about making people think “extra long” about a hairstyle. Her point is that Kylie doesn’t think long, if at all, about anything else related to blackness.

HER SISTERS ARE APPROPRIATING BLACK CULTURE TOO.

My only issue with the “exhausting” comment is that black people are expected to know the rules and we cannot find it exhausting.

I’m saying that many women straighten their hair in order to be more “palatable” to white society by downplaying their blackness. Natural hair puts their non-white status in white people’s faces and has been known to get people pushed away from jobs and promotions because it makes certain types of white people uneasy.

And still, there are still parties who want to act like this is a conscious choice that people make—like one day they sat down and thought, “which of these distinct, cognizable options will I choose to believe and internalize?” It’s absurd. Kylie Jenner is 17 and cares about vapid and empty shit—not unlike most 17…

I get it you sympathize with little ‘ol innocent kylie. You can say it’s because she’s 17 and doing 17 year old kid stuff but least you understand she’s not putting forth an image of a 17 year old child. She is putting forth an image of an hyper sexualized adult and she should be treated as an adult with adult…

The problem is that Kylie and other members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan do this type of stuff all the time and the media goes wild acting as though they are the first people in the history of existence to do anything like this. We have a Kardashian-Jenner-obsessed media and everyone in that family knows it.

What do you want people to do wait for her to go to college and read a book or two? Oh right that’s not going to happen because she dropped out of home school.

Black women can straighten their hair and dye it blonde, because it’s not an expression of systematic oppression. And of course she wasn’t thinking ‘CULTURAL APPROPRIATION’ - she assumes those cultural expressions are hers to take, and that is the problem.

She might not have literally had the thought “this is cultural appropriation”, but nevertheless her thoughts were very much a form of that. It’s not just a naive coincidence that she associated the cornrows with slang she doesn’t normally use. And the cornrows just push her over a line of cultural appropriation that…

Why did it have to be a seafood truck.
