Good on her! I’m not a fan of hypercapitalism, and the marketability of crap like this, but if companies are gonna jump on someone’s art (using lines creators made themselves in ads, etc.), I’m all for the artists getting paid!

Has this bitch never made pancakes?

Hahahahahaha. Did this woman not have access to Google? Or Sally? I guess GOOP didn’t sell silk hair wraps.

Where the fuck does she live, that she has NEVER seen a black woman (or a photo of a black woman, or a tv show featuring black women) in her headwrap? Now granted I live in NYC where everyone walks around looking however the hell they want, regardless of whether their mama would approve, so maybe I’ve seen more…

Let me tl:dr the article for you:

It's an example of how we white people are experts at not looking at the non-white world. We're raised to just not even know if exists.

Anyone paying $100 for a silk bonnet deserves to get finessed.

I have mixed feelings about this.  I'm glad for her ephany but I have to wonder did she ever interact with any black people?  It must be nice to not see or experience what happens to many of us.

But I do wonder, why it is Davis’ tears are considered so remarkable? And I do find it impossible to listen to stories like hers without thinking of the generations upon generations of people of color—black and Native people in particular—who have said the very same things and begged this country, just once, to…

I can’t begin to express how much I love this article. I love how eloquently and intelligently it was written. All necessary points were made with passion and transparency.

Reminds me of dudes who don’t see sexism unless it’s wielded against a sister, daughter, etc. etc. etccccccccc.

Empress Rih!

New Orleans has a way to squeezing into your heart, pouring itself into your soul and making you fall in love in a way few places can. That you can enjoy it even as the heat rises to near-apocalyptic levels (it actually gets worse in August) is an accomplishment.

I will never forget this bumpkin rolling across the lawn! 

He he rolled in there like...

What is “orderly conduct”, may I ask?  Can we have people arrested for blocking aisles while they talk? 

The NRA existed solely to sell weapons. They fought every attempt to regulate gun sales, even to criminals, so yup, I hold them accountable whether the sale was “legal” or not.

This would have been prevented had the baby been allowed to carry her own gun.

I think about the time I posted the Margaret Atwood quote here and got flamed for days from men who thought it of vital importance that I recognize that it is #NotAllMen. They cited examples of all the times they got rejected and didn’t attack anyone (of course they didn’t get rejected very often because they were…
