I had a roommate who did that as well. It was my first college apartment. We had a disagreement about who should do what. She thought chores and stuff should be divided between the three roommates. Me and the other girl felt that since we literally only slept there 6 out of the seven days in the week it wasn't…

My exhaustion-brain read that at Smaug for about thirty seconds when I scrolled past it and I imagined a dragon in their living room as a third roommate.

Because knowledge of racism is such an early thing to learn as a POC I feel like her mother raised her to identify as white. This doesn't excuse her for her ignorance but not being raised to know what racism is exactly (learning about lynchings, the kkk, nat turner) or any sort of prejudice in a meaningful way that…

She identifies as white and it isn't really a surprise.

No, he's an idiot for using a public forum to discuss his thoughts and expect no social repercussions. The 1st Amendment doesn't say that an employer must continue to employ you despite you publicly making statements that they don't support. The 1st Amendment protects you from going to jail not losing your job. Once…

I don't understand how people are not getting this. You have the right to your own opinion and you can say that opinion out loud and scream it to the heavens. On the other hand, your boss and the owner of your company has the right to fire you if those opinions reflect badly on him for having hired you and associating…

Is that what it takes to be a feminist? Feminists shouldn't be pretty? They can't wear makeup? She can't wear a weave to make it easier on herself while having to constantly be on the go? That's a legit reason some women have weaves. Perhaps Beyonce burned all her hair off doing relaxers and now all she can wear is…

Don't say no or else a man is entitled to stab me to regain his honor. Okay, got it.

So, because this is how my life goes, I'm riding NJTransit train to Trenton to visit family that are in town. Now, I always go with the train now because MegaBus is super cramped, takes longer, and NJTransit has more plush and less painful seats. Also, because someone stole my all time favorite (fit my awkward body…

Oh yes, I had to learn that lesson myself when I moved to Manhattan a couple years back. Speaking of, there was that one time I launched myself into the only available seat on the train. 1 minute later the dude next to me takes off his shoe and starts picking his feet.

At this point Beyonce could get a masters degree in women, and gender studies, pen some interesting articles on beauty and the media, create a non profit program to help young black women identify with their beauty and womanhood, and STILL people would say "That's bullshit, she's pretty, she doesn't get to do those…

This is the opinion I tried to post just a minute ago but you did it in a more concise and much better way. Thank you.

I feel like Beyonce is perpetually in a catch 22 about her visibility and her voice. She's arrived at that period in her career where she IS Beyonce and she can pretty much say what she wants and people will still buy anything she puts out. Yes, because she's pretty she's gotten through many doors that others wouldn't…

Will there still be chalupas? They got rid of the Taco Bell in Penn Station. I NEED MY ChaLUPAS!

Yeah, they definitely could have done a better job fleshing that out and probably would have if not for the short season due to Kerry's pregnancy. I sort of saw it coming when she discovered what Olivia and Huck had done. I think that they could have set it up more that they never really knew Lindsay Dwyer from jump…

I wanted her to leave him so badly. He doesn't deserve her or Olivia. At this point with him knowing and still asking for Olivia I couldn't imagine sitting there and trying to call her for him.

I think there's just been no movement in his character. I liked that he was twitchy because they always have spies so suave and things but Diaz seems to display all of the craziness that someone who would be drilling into people and taking out their teeth shouldn't be able to hide that well. My problem was when Jake…

I'm beginning to think I'm the only one who loves her. She's Huck and Olivia's creation. The walking talking reminder to them that they have very little control over the outcome of their dirty dealings.

Can we have one uptown? PLEASE?!?!?! Doing laundry is so boring, there's no comfortable seats at my laundromat so even bringing my Nook to read or watch Netflix on Wifi is tedious because I have to keep moving around.

One more side note. By that time race was already a consideration. Moors, the savages of the far east. Maybe not race as we see it today but the color of your skin was very much in play as Romans saw these people as foreign and themselves as superior because of their differences.
