I would rather be locked in a room with a rabid raccoon than deal with Jeffree Star or James Charles

I see Joshua Jackson has experienced the Russel Wilson phenomenon, wherein an objectively nice person is cheated on (with a far less objectively desirable person) and dumped by their partner only to rebound with an impossibly gorgeous new person and live happily ever after.

Thank you for writing this! Most articles I’ve seen have been “here are some protective styles you can wear at home”, while missing the point that a lot of us have a very minimal understanding of how to do our own hair from years of trauma, stress, and shame. This was really well-written and touched on a lot of issues…

A lot of anti-Blackness in the comments here disguised as universalist bullshit. Your failure to even comprehend that this article could actually be important to Black folks in ways you can’t understand... I’d expect nothing less.

Why the FUCK did I read the comments??? The entitlement is strong on this thread.

This made me realize the double slap of the massive unemployment numbers plus bias against natural hair styles during this pandemic. Sadly this is the first article I have seen on any site to broach these concerns.

I happened to open two tabs at the same time: this article, and the open floor plan article. Not one. fucking. comment. on the floor plan article is like OH MY WHITE JESUS, GUYS. WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HAIR WHEN PEOPLE R DYING?

Look I get why people might call worrying about their hair frivolous but people are not limited to only worry about their hair or the other, more dangerous implications of COVID. Saying someone is being ridiculous for worrying about this is as about as accurate as the notion that someone who identifies as a woman is…

I have already felt dread concern over what will happen if Quarantine is lifted on a Monday and I have to return to my office without getting my locs retwisted and lined-up. I cannot imagine how it is for essential-workers, especially those who have job mandates around standards of “neatness” that are hard to meet if…

White people: Telling POC what they should care about, what they should not care about and how many issues they can care about at once since the dawn of time. How very on brand.

Someone upthread commented about how the anxieties and complaints shared in this article are equivalent to “Karens complaining about non-GMO hemp water”...

And what I said negates that...how?

I just read an article on a local news website about how long it might be before pro sports will be played again. Not one commenter said “People are dying.” “First world problems.” “Yes, the real victims are sport fans.” Way to give yourselves away, guys.

Pretty much everyone knows that Sanders is on the right side of history, but fighting for the person who needs it the most and speaking truth to power is too hard, so instead they complain about how someone is making them do the right thing when they would rather keep existing on autopilot.

Peter needs to move out of his momma’s damn house.

Counter-point: I am one of those people who watch absolutely zero reality TV, outside of Drag Race, and yet somehow was fully on-board with this show. There is clearly something there that drew myself and other non-Bachelor/30 Day Fiancee/whatever else viewers in.  Whatever concept of “good” reality TV you may have…

the long-awaited reunion of Carlton and Diamond, who viciously ended their engagement after Carlton came out to Diamond as bisexual

Actually It was great reality TV. Loved It.

Insert “let people enjoy things meme” here. It wasn’t ground breaking or life changing but it was entertaining. My only complaints are that the reunion was last minute and it showed and that Lauren and Cameron were the clear features but were only used sparingly. Even with that it was fun to watch. Could Netflix have…

Why is this tired ass show even a show anymore?
