Is that picture her? Am I alone in thinking this photo looks like someone else?

God Brienne is gorgeous. Love her.

This made me laugh so so hard.

In all seriousness though, this is a great example of white appropriation of black culture, which never fails to piss me off. Let’s take all the fashion of people of color, dress it up, mark it up, and sell it to white people so they can feel “cutting edge” and “urban.” Gag.

It would’ve been better with Taylor Swift.

Somehow it still just feels like a violation of my reproductive rights. Like, on my organ donor card I specify that they can take everything except my eyes, because I have this thing with eyes. (Plus I guess that’s the one part they have a surplus of or something, so I don’t feel bad about it). But should I also…

Jesus. Like I said, super #blessed to have vacation and personal days at my current job. ANd for the first time ever I’m not doing that ironically. I hope your new job is better.

Ha because they don't exist.

I dunno...I do the hiring for the org I work for and when I was a dumb newb and hadn’t unlearned as much of my racism as I have now, I would make assumptions about people’s race based on info like this in their applications. Then I learned better. We have a former professor of African American studies on staff who is…

Like maybe he's racist? Or has a great relationship based on general joking around with the co-worker and its funny and all good?

Right. Because she could wash off her “blackness" if it ever got too rough. But an actual black person? Nothing but some very specific combinations of disease and plastic surgery can change that. It's a tad different.

It might have something to do with the fact that black people saying they're where still don't get to access the vast amount of privilege that white people get.

THANK YOU.

That’s cool and all but you’re ignoring the cases where time really does make a difference. As someone who’s found a growth that was potentially cancerous, no way in hell would I not do everything I could to get to the doctor faster. When that shit’s going on in your body, you're allowed to feel scared and everything…

You’re “I suspect” isn’t quite good enough when it comes to a potentially cancerous lump. In some cases, a few days actually can make a big difference. Like, life or death difference.

Oh rly? She found a tumor and “got scared”? Cause they’re not scary? Rly?

THIS.

I work with a large group (nearly 100) of young adults in a year-long, paid service position, and for some of them it’s their first real job experience, and for 99% of them it’s their first full-time job (well, technically, “position”). And the big bad firing guns come out when someone just doesn’t show up and doesn’t…

Oh, awesome! Totally gonna apply!
