Meanwhile, Kirsten Dunst would be all, “Well...maybe you were courting that kind of stuff...I don’t know...I never gave off the apple plum vibe like a lot of these young starlets. Just saying...”

I moved from the south to the midwest over 20 years ago. The Klosses look like every other woman in Minnesota. It is hella disconcerting.

So, at the age of 18, newly enlisted in the Marines, I was subject to sexual harassment by my First Sergeant who ran the school I was in for my occupational specialty. I figured I could keep him off me for the four months I was there, but I eventually had to tell a captain what was going on.

Okay. Now imma see it.

You don’t like it. A lot of folks don’t. But it’s now a thing.

Love her! Yep. I remember being shocked that she included those dirty details. It makes the books sooo much more interesting.

As a child who watched a parent get her ass beat, I’mma say it: get out.

Never was.

And he looks fine as hell with it cropped short. He should just shave it, but I’m black and may be biased...

I got pregnant when on one. Almost died. The baby was in my fallopian tube.

I’m a black southerner. Tear that shit down.

SHADDUP AND TAKE MY MONIES!!!

I’m a vet with PTSD and that doesn’t give me a pass to murder somebody’s child.

Prepare for more of this. They ain’t playing with us. And a typically jury will convict.

Be careful for that whole hoping women run thing.

Let’s meet back up here when they do and you can say, “I told you so.” But I’m a 44 year old black woman from the South. If you think Trump voters won’t risk sepsis from an untreated abscessed tooth in order for my black ass to stay in my place, you’ve been blessedly privileged in your life experiences.

I gather that it seems hypocritical to you, but I assure you that I’m capable of criticizing the methods by which people handle their business and, simultaneously, sincerely wish them all the best. I was, perforce, the “best man” at my own ex-husband’s wedding.

Their careers won’t be toast, sadly, despite passing this bill. The people they care about, the ones that voted them in and support whatever fuckery they get up to, will sniffle, suffer, go into further debt, endure pain and risk death but still be happy that my black, queer, disabled ass is being oppressed by their…

Weird. You wouldn’t want the disintegration of a marriage and partnership to at LEAST result in something good? To be worth it? I do. I want to see a write-up in Ebony 60 years from now about how the aged Kendu found lasting love with Starzilla just like Kirk Douglas did when he was creeping on Pier Angeli with Anne.…
