I could have, when my hair was down to my waist. Very fluffy, frizzy, high-volume curls. If I'd pinned it up, I could have stuck a few things in there. In fact, people used to stick stuff in it in school and see how long it would take me to notice.

yes,black hair is big but we are not the only ones with big hair. i have been stopped & searched every single time I've been on a plane(with straight & natural hair,never in an afro). why is that? bc there are so many black,female terrorists?

Almost everyone has the Spectre of Regrettable Wang.

I definitely will in the future, but I didn't think of it until after I hung up today after being called 5 times this week!

i hope you also tell them this whenever they call. hehe.

Hi everyone! I'm getting married in a month and a half! Any advice on staying sane and well-rested throughout all the events? Weddings get out of control real quick - my MOH & co. have planned a shower and a bachelorette weekend when my off time is normally reserved for silent mystery reading.

Now that is how to do revenge.

I keep getting called by pro-life organizations, so I've started donating $5 to Planned Parenthood every time they call me. :)

are pens contraband on planes?

Black people don't have a monopoly on nappy hair. Not at all.

In my experience (as a black woman) we can indeed hide things in our hair, but a) I should think there are other ways to screen for that, and b) we should not be singled out for extra-invasive hair searches.

I played this with my cat nearby—she sniffed my tablet the whole time, wanting to know where the hungry kitten was.

OMG. I mean, my cats are adorable and all but they can never know about this creature. They are too insecure to learn that something may be cuter. It's like a fluffy oversized baby version of my Polly.

Jesus, students. Just get yourself a $100,000-a-year job and work your damn way through school.

I used to work for a nonprofit (not a school) and was pissed when the development director began a 100% employee participation pledge drive. I felt like working for below-market wages WAS my donation to the cause we worked for, and was annoyed that they asked for more. So I privately asked the development director why…

I graduated in '96.... I think it was $22,500? Not sure what happened. They still call me for contributions, and I tell them that the largest private landowner in NYC does not need my lunch money.

In order to help with these efforts, we're also proud to announce 5 new Deans and 20 Vice Deans of the 1831 Fund. They will have excessive salaries/benefits and minimal, ambiguous, overlapping, responsibilities.

HOLY SHIT. 71K?!!?!? It was a smooth 45K when I started in 2007. That's ridiculous.

It sounds more like an aborted abortion rather than a reversed abortion . . .

He reports that four carried their pregnancies to term and doesn't have much to say about the other two.
