For the record, I totally agree about logos, but I could just hear your post in my mother’s voice.

You would think some people would put some care into how their city council works. But they don’t. We recently switched from at-large positions to districts. The number of people who, just before the election for the new district positions, bitched about how the then-current council members needed to be removed was…

Are you my mom? Or my sister who also got this drilled into her by our mom?

1991 was also the year that Ann Richards became governor of Texas. After a campaign in which her opponent really stuck his foot in his mouth by saying that a woman being raped should just lay back and enjoy it.

I’m pro-Michael, but I do think that Rafael, more and more, wants to do things the right way, but just doesn’t always know how. He’s learned a lot from being involved with Jane.

Blood poisoning from the computer chip that was implanted in his leg?

I had pimple/boil thing on my back, right at bra line, for a super long time. It was in that place that you just can't quite reach, and I lived alone and didn't want to ask a friend to look at the giant thing on my back. I focused very hard one day and managed to pop it. Only it didn't pop like a pimple or boil would.…

Dove sells skin lightening deodorant.

And another story. I worked for a black woman that owned her own small business. When registering with the city, for contracts, one year they changed their procedures and for Historically Underutilized Business certifications would only allow people to check one criteria. She could be black or she could be a woman,…

I have a friend that is biracial—her father is black and her mother is white. She looks white. You can not tell from looking at her that she is anything but white. In most of her life, as she’s out and about in the world, she identifies as white, because her experiences in the world have largely been as a white woman.…

Is Abby really so good that Holly feels she has to stick it out? Or does Holly want the tv exposure for Nia? Because neither seem at all into the drama.

They’re crazy in a different way, though. I appreciate that Diana keeps the moms out of the studio and doesn’t use their daughters to pit them against each other for the sake of tv drama. She is good role model for all those girls.

She was never much into fashion, in general.

I’m gonna let you finish, but Lady Bird did it best.

I work in historic preservation, so I know all about it.

I wouldn’t say that it’s nasty, but I’d agree with the bougie critique. It’s not solely responsible for gentrification of one part of town, but it plays into it.

I met her for all of 15 seconds at a book signing (left work early to wait in line that day). She does really radiate power and warmth. That’s the best description. And she smells nice and her hands are very soft.

Have you seen on shopping tv (I can’t remember if she did HSN or QVC). That’s even better than Cribs.

I’m trying to convince my boyfriend to not shave his head without insulting him in the process. It’s a delicate balance, but he will not look good.
