Pratt is really going with the “not bright” schtick and I am here for it. He can walk back any controversial statement or misspeak by admitting that he made a mistake or didn’t know what a particular word means. I find it endearing, even tho I think it’s a ploy. But if you are going to feint, at least do it in the…

Memoirs are difficult. That’s why you should label obvious fiction fiction.

Amy Sedaris. That is all.

Got it!

No Chipotle is a franchise, tho. It’s all corporate.

Okaaaay...I thought I was engaged with a reasoned individual, but I happened to take a looky-loo back upthread. Yeahhh — imagine that gif of Homer Simpson slowly backing into a row of hedges....buhbye, chile.

Are we sure she was really pregnant? I hate to ask, but...

>.< Hate when I don’t recognize trolls until it’s too late.

We equated race with religion when black folks used the Israelites as a prototype. They equate GLBT civil rights with the Black civil rights movement in the US. I can equate gender and race because they both have to do with fundamental phenotype and identity. Caitlyn’s penis makes her no more a man in her head than my…

That’s like saying that a white presenting octaroon that’s been passing has had the lived experience of a black person, tho. And I say this as the mother of a pale biracial child. It’s not the same. It is an authentic experience of a masked black person that the world treats as white. Just as Caitlyn enjoyed the…

I feel your mom. Yet, as a black woman, I recognize the yearning and freedom to take ownership of traditional (white) feminine traits for myself. Like, yasss, open the door for ME. My white girlfriends? “I can do it myself.” Me? I’mma stand here and let him FOR ONCE. Let ME be a stay-at-home-mom, not a “welfare queen”…

It was SO GOOD! Saw it in a packed house and everybody was smiling and laughing when we exited the theater. I’d go see it again!

“Go white bird! Go white bird!”

HA! Ahhh, presumptions...It took me a good minute to parse the bad and the good stereotypes about black women who date white/Persian/Asian men: A) I must be a gold digger. B) He must be weak, because you know sistas are ball-busters. C) (From brothas:) Dang, they always taking our sistas that are dimepieces! —— I…

Weird anecdote: When the show, “Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire?” came on, the “winner” Darva Conger was being talked about by a former schoolmate on our local radio station. DJ asks: What type of person was she before she became a nurse? Chick says cattily, “She is on tv like some good girl. Back in school, she…

I’m thinking of doing this. I bleed an insane amount, so I’ve resorted to using a low dosage birth control without taking breaks. This stops my periods (and keeps my temperament steady), but at the age of 42, I’m worried about the risks of taking the pill for this long. Does insurance cover the ablation? Is it…

Just bought your book!!!! Squeee! So excited!

Yep. Folks wanna joke about the Kardashians dating brothas, but after being with the 2nd gen Jackson kids in their early teens, Kim and Khloe were “used goods” around the Buckley private school community. “She’s been with a black guy” is still the death knell for some girls’ romantic prospects.

It’s “wholesome” for fans because as a White Girl, she can retain the mythos of virginity and patrician privilege. She gives off that East coast patrician vibe even as they tried to shellack her in a Nashville veneer. She is very White. Which means, despite a string of boyfriends, white dudes (and girls) can imagine…
