I’m not letting that man mess with Tiffany’s Glow Up.

Another great aspect of the story is that Chastain came up with a project that wouldn’t just break her out of the typical roles she plays, but would also help Spencer get out of “Mammy” jail, where, with some exceptions, she’s been stuck since The Help.

I love this story and the fact that Chastain didn’t tell it herself or use it to defend herself when she was recently called out for some colourblind nonsense tweet. So many of her ilk only do this shit (and not nearly this much) to later prove their legitimacy, allyship or wokeness when their racism is inevitably…

White folks who like to call themselves allies please take note. She acknowledged she didnt know shit, LISTENED, then did something meaningful without making it about her.

She wrote a book....

Essence Make Me Brow is like two dollars and is a great dupe for Gimme Brow.

I swore by Glossier Boy Brow but Essence Make Me Brow is 95% as good and costs $3 at Ulta or Target. So, you know.

I’m a social worker, but I don’t work for CPS (I’m usually the one calling them, though). You need to call them. Not just based on the fact that they have been left alone with no food for days on end, but also because it sounds like they’ve probably witnessed some domestic violence. It is rare for CPS to remove kids…

Call CPS. Call. Call. Call. There was a time in my mothers life when she was using drugs and not able to parent effectively or safely. We were removed from her care. Yes it was scary and difficult, but it was the kick in the pants she needed to get her life together. We had very positive experiences in foster…

Ugh you guys. I really wanted to march today but I’ve been having health issues and just wasn’t up for it today, energy-wise. I know I can only do as much as I can do, but I really needed something like this to remind me that so many of us are resisting this demented walrus. That’s my pity party — thanks for…

It feels like Compton, is at the heart of a wave black culinary entrepreneurship; bringing food to the sidewalks to feed the community and create jobs. Taking a cue from the latinX community, and damn i couldn’t be happier.

Everything about this is great, except for putting it online. I don’t like the racial subtext—kindly white people making a performance out of their generosity and the black recipient’s gratitude. Also, there are privacy implications. There is tremendous stigma around homelessness, especially for children. Many…

100% THIS! I’m usually the “killjoy” but seriously something is disturbing and voyeuristic with these people. The way they kept naming items (“Look and there is a monkey in the corner”,, “I cry every time too!”). Also why are there so many and why are they all white...in Detroit? I know Black people volunteer too and…

I cried, of course, because I’m a human being.

And yet... and I even hesitate to say this... I cringe a bit at the well intentioned people shoving cameras in their faces. “Look at what we did for you! What do you think of your place? WE EVEN GAVE YOU CLOTHING HANGERS.” I guess it’s because I’m oversensitive to the…

I’m two days late, but fuck that, it’s a god damn corner store. People don’t even call it a bodega in Spanish. They call it “la tiendita”.

As a Chicagoan (and a South Sider) I really liked this pilot. I loved how Waithe subtlety threw in lingo and made the characters very realistic.

Don’t forget this show threw out perfectly good food from their fake store set instead of, you know, giving it to a food bank for people living in a food desert.

I watched both episodes yesterday (onDemand).

I love Thanksgiving SO HARD. I showed that to my partner with “I know you don’t give two fucks about Aziz Ansari, but watch this one with me like it’s just its own thing”, and she loved it.

Excellent write-up! As an ETHS alum, I’m so proud of Lena and the fantastic voice she’s able to share with the world. Props. There better be a mild sauce cameo in this show!
