I agree, I think Alaska in particular has been groomed to be a successor to the throne. Alaska is one of a handful of queens that Ru talks to as though they are a peer when they interact on things like Podcasts. And Ru clearly has no issues outsourcing (see Fashion Photo Ruview, for example).

When I bawled my eyes out on election night and again last night my partner reminded me both times that we live 30 minutes from Canada so I don’t need to start stocking up on Plan B yet. He said on 11-9 and again yesterday that if me or our daughter ever needed an abortion he would drive us to Canada. But that’s not a…

It’s a political Rorschach test: do you see a stubborn, ignorant baby or a resilient maverick (barf)?

I didn’t know I needed it either, till I saw this:

LOL I’m currently posting cause I’m procrastinating sending off round 2 of edits. My editor took his sweet time getting back to me to say draft 1 was too long. I’m inching closer! Back to work, I guess.

Apparently the blackface photo is from a photoshoot for a Canadian fashion company named Too Black Guys when they did a Zoolander-esque “Jim Crow Couture” collection. But that still leaves me with so many questions, most of which include “Why?”

No doubt they negotiated a deal with him: that he would turn himself in, but only on the Friday before a holiday weekend. What other news will drop into that three-day weekend void tomorrow?

I’ve always loved Frida Kahlo but feel an even closer connection to her now that I’ve moved to Detroit, where she briefly lived (she HATED it, and had a miscarriage here, sadly), and since a book of her art is my baby’s absolute favorite object. A pediatrician theorized it’s because babies love faces, and obviously…

At every March for Life event I’ve been to in Michigan there has been voter registration and people signing up. This weekend some of the high school student gun violence activists in Detroit are going to be hosting a state-wide conference for high school students to talk about stopping school shootings, but to also…

Ha, as a teacher who has to decipher some awful handwriting that was my first thought as well.

Even the name is like something out of a 1940s romance novel!

“I have no choice but to conclude that conservatives no longer stand for anything beyond triggering libs.”

Good call. I deleted Kanye’s music from my iPod (and don’t plan to listen to any new music of his, barf) but you’re right that it’s about not giving him attention. I will join you in not clicking on Kanye articles.

His perfume is the only fragrance I’ve ever bought without smelling it first, I trusted him completely to make something wild and beautiful. R.I.P.

So true, and bigots will just find another reason to criticize Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson. If it wasn’t for greed, it would be something else.

I realized it after it was too late to edit and I’ve been burning with shame ever since!

I just got a full body shudder reading that. It completely explains his self-righteousness in the face of so many assaults, it’s like an internalized, split personality Madonna-Whore complex. Bill Cosby isn’t a rapist, “he” is.

So he spoke about himself in the third person?! That is simultaneously creepy and not at all surprising.

Truth. Our neighbors have three kids and the middle child is BY FAR the bossiest. George will likely be crowned but no doubt in that playroom Charlotte is queen.

Right, but it’s not front page news in Detroit, much less nationally.
