I usually don’t dig the discourse on these matters here, but tbh that really made me laugh.

I went to training this week to explain the math common core standards. It was full of teachers and I was one of only three people of color there. The other two women were in my carpool. There is something wrong with that. Students need to see people like them as teachers.

Holy shit. It’s a sea of whiteness.

Yes! I’m so glad someone else remembers them. I totally forgot about Toughskins.

Garanimals!! Didn’t they have the animals on the tags and you would pick outfits by matching the animals??

Man, those 70s ads are giving me serious deja vu. My mom’s best friend and my aunt were both overweight and wore clothes just like that. I can see them, in their respective kitchens. My aunt with her modified beehive and wearing polyester capris and a polyester tent top and flowered flip flops standing over the stove

Goddamn. I’m not sure if she has already filed a lawsuit against them, but if she hasn’t, I hope she does.

“And we want to treat this with the seriousness it deserves, so we’re going to put you on GMA. Your segment would be between Rachel Ray and the winner of the Westminster Dog Show.”

Damn. Forced her to do the interview because they didn’t believe her?

The whole “better safe than sorry” vein of “helpful” pregnancy advice is the bane of my 14-weeks-pregnant existence. I swear these people won’t be happy until I’m just going through life living off of kale and surrounded by bubble wrap. Fuck em, I say, and then I eat prosciutto and blackberries for breakfast.

Advocating for women to not drink alcohol instead of advocating first for all women to have access to reproductive health is such an insanity. If they really care about healthy fetuses all women they mentioned should first and foremost be covered by Medicare (because we all know Medicaid is shity).

Or, you could do what I did, which was go to the doc for the official blood test, because I wanted to be pregnant but it would’ve been too early for the pee stick to tell. Went to Vegas with my husband the weekend before he was deploying to Afghanistan for six months, and either wanted to know and be happy, or drink

Ah, yes. Because alcohol turns us ladies into boozy harlots who spread our legs for everyone and don’t care about using protection!

Yeah, F that (the CDC’s guidance). If I’m actively trying to get pregnant, sure I’d probably cut back, because I’d know it wouldn’t be the best idea to be drinking (heavily) in case I did get pregnant.

This is absolutely, 100%, mind-blowingly amazing. And for those who say that this isn’t an art form, holy wow. I’m speechless.

I love how he’s quiet about his work too. He does his thing and doesn’t ask the world to give him credit or money, nor does he tell us he’s ambitious.

Can black artists just please continue to lay the politics on thick? I would just love it if every major performance post Formation is just like ‘and you thouhght Beyoncé at the Super Bowl was intense?’.

I’m so glad to be alive at the same time as Kendrick Lamar. And smart enough to appreciate his work. I’m so glad I didn’t miss him by like a decade or something.

Again, sorry if you took this personally or against your website, but you can’t deny the difference in sports media reaction to the two stories. Fine it may be the biggest story today, but the scale in coverage doesn’t even begin to approach deflategate. Even given the patriots history, the reaction to Brady
