Shame means nothing. By that logic, any time somebody approaches you with a request contrary to your current state, you should feel bad and give in. Some asshole says “Smile girl, you too pretty to look so mad!” and damn the fact you just had to put your dog down, the corners of that mouth better lift! Or if two men…

That would also be correct.

Ok, I’m glad to know I’m NOT crazy. I really don’t subscribe to the shaming of women in marital affairs because the other party is equally guilty in breaking up the marriage, but goddamn son, when you seem to revel in your newfound “fame” and give no fucks about how opportunistic you’re being, then it’s a problem.…

Which makes the campaign rally cry “I Am Deez Nuts” all the more apropos.

So smug this one. That gross “Welp, my life is set! No more watching brats for this gal!” look she has permanently plastered on her face makes me wanna hurl. Maybe it’s just sour grapes over the fact that none of the men I've slept with have ever resulted in an opportunity to fuck Batman on camera? I don't even know…

Ummm, where is this magical place?? I should be living there. Ugh listen to me, I’m should-ing all over myself!

People don’t use NEARLY enough Stuart Smalley references in life. Thank you for this.

Oh, Ava. This. SOOOO much this.

Ooooooh so much this! My complete and utter disdain for Tay, perfectly summed up!

I frequently sported braids as a kid, and I remember one time after taking note of the fact I had the same hairstyle the entire week, a white girl in my 5th grade class says to me “I wish I was black. Then I wouldn’t have to wash my hair everyday.”

Wow, a kid broke the law and lived to tell (and SnapChat) the tale! Thank god Bill O’Reilly told us white privilege doesn’t exist, otherwise I’d be REALLY fuckin mad! *waits for comments about how if you just do what an officer tells you then you have nothing to fear/the kid looks swarthy and probably isn’t even…

Have I been living under a rock? Of course I got your reference. That's my jam. My lady jam.

Bait taken. Stories of questionable ethics from The Purple One? Lay it on me. *girds loins*

‘Toto’stadas. Sans dog meat, obvi.

No one said the effects are immediate. I believe Baltimore will see a similar revitalization nearer to its own year anniversary. Rebuilding and restructuring is rarely quick and easy.

As the token black girl in several of my social circles in college, I have had this conversation at least a billion fucking times. “Whoa, your hair is in a bun! I’m so used to seeing it in your usual Afro” “Omg remember in college when you used to wear your hair in an Afro?”. Nah guys. I get that I’m the only colored…

My mother once told me “apologies are not people, they don’t have ‘buts.’” I believe understanding and empathy are the same. As soon as you start diminishing the real issue and bringing in “but...” your “I hear you” doesn’t mean shit.

“ So if I can relate to her, why can’t she relate to me? Why do she and Lena and Tina et al think that I’m so different that they can’t include me in their vision of the world?”

I’ll take “Career Exit Options” for $400 Alex.

‘A Caboodle and a dream’. That was straight poetry, and brought soo many memories back.
