“Loosing” is among my biggest pet peeves in commonly misspelled words, and no, its use is not limited to weight loss forums.

You’re right on the money. As a sexual abuse/assault victim’s advocate, Tambor’s statement echo the same line of horseshit my organization hears from guilty parties again and again and again.  

Interesting. I’d been anticipating nothing short of aggressive mediocrity since straight-haired SJP and Thomas Haden Church are among the least compelling pair I can think of to lead a series. But based on your rec, I’ll give the pilot a try.

She has a new HBO series, Divorce.

I’m just happy that Justin can resume his rightful spot on my celebrity bucket list. Yum.

That’s unfortunate, and I’m sorry you didn’t get the affirmation you deserve. Two decades ago, the culture of black hair was so different. In 2018 Brooklyn, you’re practically judged for not having natural hair (another problem in itself), so I got universally positive feedback from just about everyone when I took the…

TLDR: Compliment natural hair all you like, but don’t operate under the delusion that you’re dismantling white supremacy by doing so.

Look. No one’s forbidding you from complimenting or admiring black women and their natural hair, but unless you’re a beauty editor at a major magazine or responsible for US military hairstyle regulations, your expressed opinion of black women’s hair doesn’t carry nearly the impact you think it does. Quite plainly,…

Actually, Netflix announced that it was cancelling HOC within only 12 hours of Rapp’s statement, so there’s no way that decision wasn’t already in the works. The decision to fire Spacey came a week later, by which time eight current and former employees of the show had come forward with allegations.

Extracurricular misconduct from before he was hired may not constitute grounds for firing in Franco’s case. Weinstein, Spacey, Lauer, Smiley, and Tambor were all accused by co-workers, making it much harder for their employers to look the other way.

I’m very flattered by that, thank you!

It’s remarkable to me how much nonsense people project onto black women’s hair. Let us live!

Have you tested your hair’s porosity? That’ll go a long way to determining which ingredients and products work best for you.

Gotta disagree with you there because I’m not reading anger so much as exasperation with white nonsense. Frankly, a lifetime of this shit can get downright exhausting, and I don’t fault any marginalized person for lacking the spoons to perform the emotional labor of a reply that meets my standards. In such situations,…

Good luck and godspeed! Naturally Curly is a great resource and can point you toward best products for your hair type. If you try the braid method, I’ll also recommend using flexi-rods to oomph up your ends. They can make all the difference between a wavy look vs a curly look. 

It is! Let’s meet over there.

Except don’t respond to white compliments about my hair by screeching, “Fuck off, Becky! Nobody asked!” I offer a polite and tempered “thank you” just like my mother taught me, and I keep it moving. I don’t lash out at people for complimenting me, but nor do I brim with joy or pride at the idea of a white woman’s…

You can also try the braid set method for which there are plenty of YouTube tutorials. Section and braid damp hair and let it set overnight, using the products for your choice definition and hold. I use a curl definer and gel, but YMMV. I can’t say for sure how it works on type 2 hair, but for types 3 and 4 it…

But why would you imagine that natural haired women require or desire that validation from white women?

It doesn’t surprise me that these comments are vastly overestimating the value of white people’s compliments. I get compliments on my hair quite a bit, but unless they’re from the mouths of a fellow black woman (or even better, a black child), the words mean absolutely nothing to me. No one else understands the…
