Sigh. I wish I still found Amy funny, but so much of her material just gives me a deep feeling of unease. It hit its peak this weekend, when I went to see Get Out and a trailer for her new movie Snatched ran in front of it... see, they also showed a trailer for Girls Trip, which looks so much more enjoyable and…

Very minimal gore, the horror is mostly psychological — I’ve heard Jordan Peele call it social horror in interviews. I can’t really do horror movies, but I took myself out to see it Saturday night, retrieved my car from a dark parking garage, drove home alone to my dark and empty apartment, and felt no fear doing any…

I got to see her about a year and a half ago and I honestly don’t think I’ve laughed that hard in public, while sober, ever in my entire life. A very very very close second in the “made me laugh so hard I almost died” category is Tig Notaro.

Cosigned! I worship at the altar of that hair.

The dress was off the rack, not a custom job.

An important thing to remember: the “altar of motherhood” in American culture has never included black motherhood. Black mothers have been vilely denigrated by our culture. This is what it looks like when we elevate black motherhood to the same level as white motherhood.

If he goes pro or enrolls in certain kinds of post-grad education (like if he decides to go into medicine), then I believe enlistment would be deferred. He also has at least a year to bail on the whole thing if he starts attending and then decides this isn’t for him. Not sure if he’d then have to reimburse the…

Or maybe he’s speaking to the people who have options. People like my cousin’s oldest boy, who’s taking a full-ride scholarship at the Air Force Academy to start this fall, living expenses included. He got scholarship offers from other schools, because he’s an excellent football player and a damn good student, but…

Uhhhh... provide a link. Otherwise this is just gross gossipy bullshit about a ten year old.

I always have to laugh when people talk about the online component of dating like it’s this new terrifying thing that no one knows how to handle and it’s all mysterious. Like, yo, this shit’s been around in some form for a couple of decades now, and how is having a quick text convo much different than meeting some…

That was “chatty/peppy girl” to you? Ugh. From over here it read as “desperate for attention from a famous guy, mad that I’m not getting my due”

I can’t decide what part of this is my favorite: that this dumb Becky has reposted a link to this article on her own Twitter feed as some kind of proof that she’s in the right (poor dumb girl!), or that this dumb Becky is attacking Luvvie Ajayi on Twitter to drum up followers for her little podcast.

Sigh. I mean, literally the only place where the org is called Doctors Without Borders is America, probably because American culture completely rejects the idea that knowing more than one language is a good thing. We’re an impossibly dumb country, overall, and lack of language skills is a big part of it. People…

You mean the big honkin’ link right there after the very first paragraph of the article?

What a weird reading, I honestly can’t figure out how you arrived at that conclusion. “Wanting them to be more explicit” = actually directly quoting what Kim Burrell said so that this audience hears those words that they likely hear their own churchfolk saying every week, and hears them identified as hate speech, so…

WOW. So they don’t give a fuck about protecting little boys from predators, only little girls. What a bunch of fuckfaces.

EDIT: Not that little girls are in any danger from trans women in the restrooms. Because they’re not. This whole thing is fucking bullshit.

If it makes you feel any better, when my uncle (a white man) hung himself in a jail cell last summer, it only received minimal news coverage from local outlets, and the comments on those news articles did a swell job of reminding all of us mourning him that he was trash, and we are trash, and we all deserve to suffer…

I wish I believed that that always held true... unfortunately, I know a couple of kids (one pre-teen, one freshly minted teen) who were raised in a family with strong philanthropic values who are just absolute assholes now. They weren’t spoiled, but they weren’t denied much that they ever asked for, and they…

I actually kind of loved it by the end — she was working through her immense grief over her husband, and her life had shifted dramatically to honor her actual desires and sensibilities instead of just doing what her husband wanted by default. I even liked the part where she let her housekeeper’s extended family move…

Such good timing, I have an appointment at Planned Parenthood on Friday to get my old Mirena swapped out for a fresh model and I am super dreading it... partially because mine has been expired for a loooonnnnng time now and I don’t want a lecture about it (I’ve only been sporadically sexually active over the past few…
