Ms. Ashanti Smith don’t play, keeps it real, will throw hands, and has cousins who will do likewise. You know Helena Put-Up-Your-Dukes has never been in a real street fight in her whole life. The shock of the hit must have been the most hilariously humiliating moment of her whole life. She learned that she is not…

I ran into this similarly recently. A former colleague who I know was “let go” for inviting a minor student to come talk to him where he then dropped his pants in front of her* is now running for city council type position in the new city he moved to. Super lefty, super progressive, such an organizer! But. . . also a…

Say what you want about Kris Jenner, but I’d prob want her in my corner no matter what and I honestly think she is a good mom at heart. Money hungry? YES - but its rare to find people who aren’t especially these days.

I think a fair portion of a successful marriage is accepting your partner’s cluelessness in certain areas and working with it. Also, this reads like a slightly longer version of a NYT Tiny Love Stories or whatever they call it. Excellent hook, perfect ending. 

So, a year after I got out of the Navy and a year into college, I got this summer job that I didn’t even really want, but I was living with my folks and my dad made it clear that I was either working that summer or finding somewhere else to live. The first week I was there, my boss was on vacation, so I got situated…

I got nothing. I just popped in to star the goodies and say that this week has been the longest fucking year EVER.

I used to be his boss. When his wife left him, I listened to him navigate 50/50 parenting and learning to live apart from his ex-wife for the first time in almost 20 years. We always had good energy together as co-workers, but due to the fact that he’s a redneck and I’m a pretty liberal dark-skinned Indian woman, I…

I remember when Sally Field played Tom Hanks’ love interest and then his mom later on.

Emma Thompson is such a great actress. She and Clooney should be paired up in a movie together. That would be age appropriate! 

I love Emma Thompson. That is all.

I have gone by Ms. since my teen years. I’ve been married for thirteen of them and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a piece of mail with Mrs. on it. It would be like getting a letter from the Twilight Zone.

EVERY YEAR I get this on Christmas cards. Mrs. HISLASTNAME. Gee, thanks. You know that is not my last name. You also know I’m a doctor. Some of these people even attended my dissertation defense.

I.HAVE.NEVER.BEEN.A.MISSUS.

It seems like a poorly-written Op-Ed in a low rent college news paper.  Even our undergraduate paper wouldn’t have printed this.  They’ve been too busy doing investigative journalism on another problematic (racist, homophobic, sexist) prof in our b-school.

First off, this idiot’s comment about how nobody can call themself “doctor” until HE has delivered a baby is all you need to read to know this fucker is a grade-A, hi-test misogynist.

There is a very short list of people who can call me “kiddo” and get away with it. And all of them are old enough to be my father.

Here’s a shocker: He has been virulently racist and homophobic in print since 1970.

No, but solidarity to Alicia!

Is that you, Alicia?

I think there’s plenty of room for a nuanced discussion on different expectations and the reasons for them.

hey everybody! watch me say something i’m sure to instantly regret!
